Our take on Monsters of Mican
The store copy foregrounds hundreds of monsters, spells, secrets, expansions, and challenge modes, but gives less space to the game's demanding dungeon-crawler structure. Progress depends on party building, turn-based combat, puzzles, traps, and maze-like exploration rather than only monster variety.
What is Monsters of Mican?
Create a party from 14 classes and explore handcrafted dungeons in a first-person, turn-based RPG.
Combat includes hundreds of abilities and spells, passive skills, loot with fixed and generated items, and monsters that can be fought, befriended, or spoken with.

Monster Buddies can be summoned to fight alongside the party. Additional activities include fishing, a three-level racetrack, a monster arena, and post-game Monster Rush and Boss Rush challenges. The game includes multiple difficulty and video settings, gamepad controls, cheat-code trading, and an original soundtrack with over 20 compositions.
