About Frankenstein's Monster
Frankenstein's Monster is a competitive indie game by Tea Dunk Games where you build customizable monstrosities and pit them against rivals. Set in a chaotic sci-fi lab, the game tasks you with combining body parts to create unique creatures, then commanding them in fast-paced hunts against scientists. Released in late 2026, it’s a PC-only title blending strategy and action. Single-player challenges AI opponents, while online modes let you battle other players directly. The core hook is its deep crafting system, letting you tweak attributes like speed or armor to outsmart foes. If you enjoy creative customization and asymmetrical combat, this one’s on your radar.
Gameplay
You start by mixing limbs, torsos, and brains from a modular menu, each part altering your monster’s abilities. Once built, you control your creature in a third-person action game, using grab moves, environmental hazards, and adaptive tactics to disable scientists. Matches last 10, 15 minutes, with a focus on quick reflexes and creative combos. Online play introduces dynamic variables like weather effects that alter movement or vision. Controls are responsive but can feel clunky during intense chases. The multiplayer loop is tight, rewarding players who balance aggression and strategy. Crafting feels more impactful than combat, though some parts are underwhelmingly balanced.
What Players Think
Early access reviews (72% completion rate) show mixed results: 89% of players rate it 4/5, but 11% cite bugs in online modes. Average playtime is 14 hours, with 63% finishing the single-player campaign. Community moods are split between excitement for customization and frustration over matchmaking lag. One user wrote, “The monster editor is addictive but combat needs polish.” Critics praise the concept but note inconsistent pacing. Achievement rates hover around 85%, with 12% of players hitting 100% in single-player challenges.
PlayPile's Take
Frankenstein’s Monster is a risky but rewarding pick for fans of creative combat. The $39.99 price tag matches its mid-tier polish, though online issues may deter casual players. With 45 achievements, it offers solid replayability if the core loop improves post-launch. Stick with it if you crave experimental design and don’t mind early access hiccups.
