Monark proves itself to be an interesting, low-budget take on an SRPG, combining its Persona influences with original ideas to make for a compelling experience. At first it seems "more of the same", but after a while it is pleasant to play. His Ego system is his most interesting point, along with his riddles, although everything is diluted with some uninteresting characters and a way of playing that gets stagnant. Monark is a slow and frustrating RPG over several hours of gameplay. Hobby Consolas - José David Muñoz - Spanish - 75 / 100 Monark weaves an engaging story even though it may rely on tropes and archetypes to do so.
Monark's creepy setting, tactical combat and banging soundtrack is well worth experiencing, but prepare for some obtuse puzzles. Monark is an excellent JRPG with a dark and appealing story and an incredible soundtrack, that it's perfect for every fan of the turn-based strategy games. GaminGuardian - Pilar Díaz Martínez - Spanish - 9 / 10 Monark brings me both surprise and disappointment, the depth of the story and gameplay are unique, but the combat is boring, making it not as good as expected. Though at times navigating the character can get a bit frustrating.
#MONARK REVIEW FULL#
Monark is a fun JRPG with interesting characters and a unique story full of personality tests and high school drama. Putting aside the disappointment that comes from realising that it could have attacked with its themes more, I don’t think there is any other way that the creative team could have delivered on a more coherent and compelling vision and, really, it is experiences like Monark that keep me interested in this medium. But it’s also in so many ways a boundary-pushing and innovative experience, and one that I imagine will be unique for a very long time to come. Some may well find that it's even pretentious. It knows it, and it wants you to know it too. and even that has a mileage that may vary.ĭigitally Downloaded - Matt Sainsbury - 5 / 5 Monark tries a lot of new ideas, but only finds success with an intriguing battle system.
Still, if you can manage to get through the slog of repetitiveness, there’s a fascinating and thematically engaging story underneath. Unfortunately, Monark is also its own worst enemy, and many of the gameplay elements simply get in the way of making it something truly exceptional. Monark is a game filled with great ideas and themes, and it manages to deliver on some of those in spades. An unfluid rhythm, some repetition and a lot, a lot of farming tarnish a game that, on the other hand, has an interesting story, good characters and a lot of psychology. MONARK isn't a bad game, but unfortunately, for every lime it offers, it offers another sand.
