MonsterEnd

MonsterEnd is a top-down, dual-joystick shooting roguelike in which you play as a post-apocalyptic survivor fighting hordes of monsters. Choose props and weapons with distinct features, develop your character’s attributes and survive until you escape danger. You grow stronger during each run and gain further attribute bonuses as your character levels up between games, with no level cap.

Fight and grow

Defeat enemies rushing toward you and collect the experience balls they leave behind to level up. Each level lets you choose an enhancement, and these ability upgrades grow stronger as your level rises. You can view your basic and skill attributes from the button prompt, including while the game is paused.

Find and upgrade equipment

Treasure chests appear on the map with powerful items and equipment. Use them to equip weapons or use items; choosing more suitable weapons can make your character stronger. Most weapons can be upgraded, except those that cannot be upgraded, to a maximum of 8 stars. Chests and stores can offer weapons similar to ones you already have, which are upgraded when you pick them up or buy them; higher-star weapons provide stronger effects.

Shops and rewards

Vending machines appear periodically. Spend coins there on items, weapons and attributes; the goods are given to you when you leave. If you do not have enough coins, you can lock goods and try to buy them next time, though vending-machine prices keep rising over time. You can also discard or pick up items on the ground, where they disappear after remaining there for a while.

After you defeat certain elite enemies, Heavenly Official Blessing activates and lets you choose a powerful enhancement. Higher blessing levels offer stronger rewards.
