Our take on Monster Master
Rather than giving every participant the same strategic viewpoint, the game divides a match between one player directing a monster force and three players surviving as FPS heroes. This unequal structure replaces the shared-control format common to many strategy games with opposing roles.
What is Monster Master?
Monster Master is an asymmetric multiplayer game set in Kingsfield, where an energy research facility creates a cosmic horror entity.
One player controls and mutates a monster horde from an RTS perspective, while three class-based heroes attempt to survive together from an FPS perspective. Each hero has unique powers, and their encounters are unscripted as the monster player plans attacks. The game is in early alpha development and is actively updated. Its core game is intended for a group of four, with open development inviting player feedback. The listing presents it as a mix of real-time strategy, first-person shooting, cooperative survival, and reverse-horror play.
