Mediocre Monster is an RPG from the Monster’s Perspective
I’m back again to tell you about another Kickstarter project, and this one looks really cool.
Mediocre Monster is an RPG told from the perspective of a monster. And not just any monster. A random encounter monster.
You play as Gob, a weak monster RPG heroes will face early in their adventure. He has been assigned to face the heroes of the epic RPG “Legend of the Adventure.”
He needs to react appropriately in battles, drop items when defeated, and give the heroes exp. As he’s promoted, he’ll not only earn a higher salary, he’ll also be able to fight in new locations and gain palette swaps!
Doesn’t this already sound like a delightful parody? It gets better. Why does Gob need to work so hard?
Because his home town fell into disrepair after monsters abandoned turn-based RPGs for the mobile market and the mayor squandered the town’s funds on free-to-play games.
If he can’t pay, the town will be used for a casual city building sim.
In addition to fighting heroes, Gob will also work to restore the town. Gold is used to buy new buildings and improvements, and you can also invite new monsters to live there. Repopulating the town opens up more opportunities for you.
Mediocre Monster sounds incredibly fun. I love turn-based RPGs inspired by classics like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy, and this one has a fantastic twist on the usual formula.
It’s planned for the PC and has already been Greenlit for Steam. Backers will receive both a DRM-free copy and a Steam copy. It hasn’t met its goal yet, though, so if this sounds as much fun to you as it does to me, I hope you’ll back Mediocre Monster on Kickstarter and/or spread the word!
