Monsters Are Coming!

Monsters Are Coming! is a tower-survivor action roguelite about defending a city that moves toward the Ark. You play as humanity’s last hope, gathering resources and fighting an endless army of monsters while keeping the city supplied and its defenses standing. A run ends when the city is destroyed, not when the hero falls, so you can return to the fight if your hero is defeated.

Build and defend the city

Choose a Town Hall, place towers and shape your defenses to suit each run. At shelters, you can buy new districts from the city shop and decide where to place them. Defensive options include archery outposts, necromancer towers and fire-breathing dragons; you can also equip structures to repel monsters from the gates and keep the city moving.

Gather and explore

As a persistent, multi-tasking hero, you gather wood, stone and gold while fighting monsters. Wood keeps the engines burning and increases tower efficiency, stone helps repair and rebuild, and gold expands your moving fortress. You can stray from the path for richer rewards or head due south toward shelter, while weighing the risks of exploration against the need to get back to the city in time.

Shelters hide secrets, and side hordes offer richer, rarer rewards. You can also collect compasses at the end of each run and carry your progress forward, making it easier for future cities to find their way to the Ark.

Fight and progress

Improve your abilities, level up and build up your potential through extensive player progression. Environmental obstacles, increasingly powerful monsters and larger bosses at the city’s periphery call for changing strategies and special weaponry. Keep upgrading and adapting as you travel closer to the Ark; the hero can fall, but the city must survive.
