The Monster War

The Monster War follows Lyonel Cooper, a knight from A Tale of Destiny, as he tries to protect a kingdom from invading monsters. The game links three modes: Side Scroller, Tower Defense and Casual Puzzle. What happens in one mode determines where you go next.

Side Scroller

You explore a dangerous landscape and fight the monstrous invaders. If you run out of time before finding the monster base, the war reaches the kingdom and you are sent to Tower Defense mode. Finding the base sends you to Casual Puzzle mode.

Tower Defense

After failing to win in Side Scroller mode, you lead the battle on the front lines. Fortify the castle’s defenses and repel waves of goblins, orcs and trolls.

Casual Puzzle

After locating the monster base in Side Scroller mode, you must win a puzzle battle to decide the kingdom’s fate. Launch catapults to dismantle the base piece by piece. Failure sends you back to Side Scroller mode to locate the nearest stronghold again; victory ends the war.
