Monsters and Monocles

Monsters and Monocles is a Victorian steampunk twin-stick shooter about a team of paranormal investigators fighting hordes of evil with teamwork and heavy weaponry. After a naive occult collector unknowingly unleashes a great evil that spreads across the globe, you and your team must find the source of the dark energy and blast it back where it came from.

Play together

You can play solo or with up to four players, locally or online. In co-op, the team shares a pool of lives, so you need to stick together, revive fallen comrades and watch each other’s backs. The game also offers challenging single-player play.

Weapons and relics

Find weapons such as the blunderbuss, stake launcher and crumpet cannon, a steampunk toaster that fires weaponized crumpets. Relics let you customize weapons and add abilities to suit your play style; you can upgrade them by looting chests and destroying enemies.

Procedural levels

Each level is procedurally generated, changing enemy placement, traps, secrets and objectives from one run to the next. The HMS Scone airship serves as your hub, where you gear up before heading into areas such as a haunted mansion, snowy Victorian streets and a cursed Pharaoh’s tomb. Each area ends with a boss encounter, including a demonic chimney sweep and a giant cyclops skull.
