Monstrous

Monstrous is a third-person action adventure set in a dark fantasy world undergoing an industrial revolution. You play as a monster with a distinctive fighting style, powers and skills, taking on the dangers and secrets of a city as you move toward a final showdown in its ancient heart.

Directional melee combat

Combat uses fighting-game mechanics without target locks. You aim your attacks and dodge incoming blows, apply pressure to break an opponent’s guard, use zoning tactics, and block and counterattack. Grabs can punish enemies who turtle behind their guard.

Playable monsters

The playable cast draws on classic Gothic horror characters and villains, presented in a dark graphic-novel art style. Each monster’s fighting style, powers and skills offer a different approach to gameplay situations.

Explore the city

You can prowl across rooftops to ambush foes, find items and collect pieces of lore. Shared quests, random encounters and competition for power lead toward the final showdown.

Play sessions

The game supports both short and long sessions. You can invite Steam friends to take control of other monsters for a game night, or use quickplay to join other players on the Steam network.
