Our take on PixelJunk™ Monsters 2
Its defining structure is real-time tower defense built around turning forest trees into attack towers, then protecting 20 Chibis through stage-specific waves of invading monsters.
What is PixelJunk™ Monsters 2?
PixelJunk Monsters 2 is a real-time tower defense game set in a forest threatened by invading monsters.
Players protect 20 Chibis by transforming trees into attack towers, then improving those towers as enemy groups arrive in successive waves. Construction requires coins and gems. Stages unlock in numbered order when the Chibis are successfully defended. Protecting every Chibi in a stage awards rainbow fragments, which open access to Tiki houses in other areas. The game includes updated graphics and multiplayer modes, while its core structure centers on placing defenses, spending resources, and responding to attacks whose wave counts vary by stage.
