Dearest Minions,

It is my pleasure to announce that after several months of preparation, the zone of engagement in the Ancient Forest is now fully operational. I would like to thank all of you for your patience while the work was being completed, and hope this new zone provides much needed assistance in your fight against the heroes. I noted that several of you were unable to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony this morning - please file your absence forms immediately or be subject to disciplinary action. I would also like to welcome the new monsters working with us in the Forest. Welcome to the team all Doomshrooms, Flamedeers, and Grave Hermits. We expect great things from you, and look forward to seeing you in action. For all of you deployed in the forest zone, a word of warning: avoid the deepest floor at *all* costs. Although we have successfully corrupted the Old Man of the Forest to our cause that is no guarantee that you are safe in his presence. Tread carefully. As always, I have attached the latest intelligence report for your edification. Please read it at your earliest opportunity. Yours, Overlord of the Secret Criminal Organization of Nasty Evildoers Att. Intel Report 1.5.6420

Monsters & Monocles is a frantic, Victorian steampunk themed twin-stick shooter all about using teamwork and heavy weaponry to battle the hordes of evil. A naive occult collector has unknowingly unleashed a great evil that is spreading across the globe, and it’s up to you and a team of quirky paranormal investigators to find the source of this dark energy and blast it back to where it came from.

Online and Local Multiplayer

Take on the challenge solo, or play with up to 4 players online or locally. Your team shares a single pool of lives so you need to stick together, revive fallen comrades, and watch each other’s backs.

Customize Your Play Style

Search out and use powerful weapons to aid you in battle like the blunderbuss, stake launcher and the crumpet cannon - a steampunk toaster that fires weaponized crumpets.
Find and equip relics to customize your weapons and add new abilities to match your play style, and upgrade them by looting chests and destroying enemies.

Procedurally Generated World

Each level is procedural so you and your comrades will be faced with unique enemy placement, traps, secrets and objectives each time you play. Your trusty airship the HMS Scone acts as your hub and lets you gear up before taking on challenging levels like the haunted mansion, snowy Victorian streets and a cursed Pharaoh’s tomb. Each area ends with a fearsome boss encounter, such as a demonic chimney sweep or a giant cyclops skull.
