Damn it has pretty good writing even with predictable plot. Character designs, music, everything is good.
But gameplay is awful. Same people made Lost Dimension (pls play this gem) with 11 unique characters with unique abilities and with many possible builds. Also LD had good map design. Meanwhile in monark you fight on the same shit dimension map with a few walls and annoying gimmicks.
Leveling system is pure garbage, get your cheat engine on or grind for hours. Example: you get lvl 1 character and fight lvl 25 enemies. (WHY?? )
