Monsters & Monocles Now Available on Steam Early Access

It was announced by Retro Dreamer, that Monsters & Monocles, is now available on Steam Early Access with a 10% launch week discount!

Monsters and Monocles is a frantic, Victorian steampunk themed twin-stick shooter all about using teamwork and heavy weaponry to battle the hordes of evil. A naive occult collector has unknowingly unleashed a great evil that is spreading across the globe, and it’s up to you and a team of quirky paranormal investigators to find the source of this dark energy and blast it back to where it came from.

Check out the launch trailer of Monsters & Monocles, showcasing the games’ features:

“Playing solo, or with up to four players online or locally, fight your way through unique, procedurally generated environments using powerful weapons like the blunderbuss, stake launcher, and crumpet cannon to aid you in battle. Find and equip relics to customize your weapons and add new abilities to match your play style. Upgrade them by destroying enemies, vanquishing fearsome bosses and looting treasure chests. Your team shares a single pool of lives, so you need to stick together, revive fallen comrades, and watch each other’s backs.

Why Early Access?

“We’ve been working on Monsters and Monocles since early 2014 and have spent the bulk of that time making sure that the core of the game feels great for solo, local co-op, and online play. We are now at the point where we need to expand on this foundation with more variety and content across all aspects of the game, including levels, enemies, weapons, and customization, to ensure that each play session is unique and interesting.

Early access provides a great opportunity to get the game in front of a larger audience to help us fine tune and shape the game’s balance and content, while also making sure that network play is as smooth and robust as possible.”
