Skip it if you…

- Players who want tower defense without direct combat may bounce when weapons, shields, and dashes become part of fighting
- Players looking for cooperative multiplayer will not find a fit in this single-player game
Our take on Destroy The Monoliths
The likely bounce point is the split between base management and direct combat. Players who are comfortable placing and combining buildings may still hit a wall when they must mine, fight summoned minions, use a shield and dash, and manage upgrades in real time.
What is Destroy The Monoliths?
Explore procedurally generated worlds with varied biomes, shapes, treasures, and shrines.
Mine terrain for resources using weapons or automated buildings, then place turrets across offensive, status-effect, support, and biome-special categories. Turrets defend the base while attacking monoliths that summon enemy minions. Weapons, shields, and a dash let the player fight alongside the defenses. Damaging monoliths provides experience for upgrades. New weapons, building blueprints, and relics improve a whole world and carry into later missions. Starting-technology packs offer different playthroughs, while doomed relics increase difficulty. The game includes a journal and achievements.
