Monster Strike

About

Monster Strike lets you build a team of characters to battle enemies in a turn-based system. You arrange tiles on a grid to match combinations that trigger attacks. The 3DS version adds 3D environments but keeps the core mechanics from the mobile game. Battles feel tactical with resource management and enemy weaknesses to exploit. Exploration is limited to side-scrolling segments between fights. The game includes characters and plot points from the Monster Strike anime. It has a dedicated fanbase despite being a direct port. Reception shows mixed opinions on the 3DS upgrade, many appreciate the added polish while others find it repetitive. With over 5 million downloads on mobile platforms, the 3DS release offers a familiar experience with refined visuals for handheld play.
