The physical release of the survival horror game Monstrum is out today on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. A digital release of the game came out waaaaay back in the month of May of t his year. However, due to a the dreaded COVID pandemic, the physical release had to be postponed until now.
The game, created by Junkfish, has been met with generally middling reviews according to OpenCritic. Players will try to find a way off of a derelict ship while avoiding an ever present monster. The monster that you face changes each time you play through the game. Item locations are also randomized.
In Monstrum, players need to learn the rules of the ship in order to survive. With three unique monsters and procedurally generated levels, it is up to the player to find out how to escape and survive this nightmare. Each monster has their own characteristics and behaviors, making it a nightmarish challenge to find a way out. There is the enormous beast Brute, the ghastly hovering creature Fiend and the sneaky alien-like Hunter. In order to survive, players need to fix items to get off the ship, all whilst staying one step ahead of their predator.
