We’re delighted to reveal Monsters are Coming! Rock & Road, the next game from Ludogram, is being published by Raw Fury!
Just announced during The Mix Summer Game Showcase with a rip-roaring trailer, Monsters are Coming! Rock & Road is what we’re describing as a ‘Tower-Survivor’ game, mashing up tower defense with a horde survivor.
If you’re already liking what you’re seeing and hearing, you can sign up to the Closed Beta test which we’re aiming to start later this month. Just fill out the form here.
But let’s break this down and give you a grander overview of what the game is all about
Monsters are Coming: Rock & Road is an action rogue-lite where you begin each run controlling a peon, tasked with fighting back hordes and hordes (and hordes) of monsters attacking from all sides!
But the peon’s true objective is to protect a moving city – even at the expense of their own life – all while making sure its path isn’t obstructed by the environment, gathering enough resources to expand its potential. So where peons can respawn if they fall in battle, it’s only when the city is destroyed that your run is over!
Fortunately, the city can also protect itself through archery outposts, necromancy towers and even fire-breathing dragons. As long as you’ve got the coin, wood, gems and stone to fulfil the requirements, you can build a real fortress of destruction! Resources, by the way, you’ll have to gather while fighting and protecting the city, balancing risk versus reward.
Defeated monsters drop gems which you use to power up. And off the beaten path you can find even more, unexpected ways to give your Peon an edge in battle.
But despite the fast and furious pace of MaC: R&R, you will be able to find some respite at shelters. Here, you can take some time to decide what to spend your newfound wealth on and add even rarer buildings to your arsenal. Some of which affect your gold in-take or damage output, but you can also build towers that freeze monsters or spawn additional minions to repel the continued invasion.
Should you be defeated, at the end of each run you can also use your built up experience and resources to add permanent upgrades to your peon and city.
As you try to fight through four biomes, finding the right city build, selecting integral attributes to help you reach the Arch, you’ve definitely got your work cut out for you against some of the deadliest creatures you’ve had the misfortune to encounter.
