    Best review, I trust your review more than anyone else since you guys ACTUALLY take Your time and find interest . Not every game needs super flashy or high action to be amazing

    Good review and fair. I’m picking it up and I enjoyed the demo but it will be awhile with all the games coming out. Not a fan of difficulty spikes but overall seems fun.

    I'm a big fan of FuRyu and how experimental their games are.
    I loved The Alliance Alive and Caligula 2.
    So I'm gonna give it a try.

    I played the demo and although it's far from perfect it isn't as terrible as some people say. They definitely tried lots of new things that I can understand typical jrpg fans wouldn't like but there's a solid game here and the music is great! This game isn't going to get great scores but I will check it out.

      I agree 100%, it seems if you are playing this game from the Nintendo Switch or the base PS4, you’re gonna have a bad time due to the performance issues. Hopefully it gets patched up for those respective platforms as I want this game to succeed & be enjoyed in all platforms.

    Personally I'm very mixed with Monark.
    I've been anticipating it for months just from the artsyle and was looking forward to what the game had in stall. Especially from former SMT/Persona devs.
    But, I feel kinda let down. And I wasn't even expecting anything.
    The combat system feels bland to me, its near identical to Caligula Effect minus the ability to plan ahead with all the penalties.
    Yes, it's unique to a degree but I don't find it fun. More confusingly frustrating trying to get the hang of the mechanics that punishes you with every move you do wrong.
    The art style that drew me in didn't translate well with the 3D models. And is again similar to Caligula Effect.
    And again with Caligula Effect, the whole premise and exploration of the school feels ripped right out of Caligula Effect.
    Now, Caligula Effect is not one of my favourite games. Haven't even finished it and can be monotonously boring at times but it's strangely addicting.
    But I can not for the life of me not see the similarities.
    Both confined to a school with no way out (Caligula Effect has more locations outside of school but still
    confined in a space).
    You run/walk around looking for clues, talking to students or get in a battle or two.
    Certain people have a level of power/control over the space that you fight against in order to weaken the area.
    Students are normal until their stress/MAD levels reaches max and becomes part of the space in some shape or form.
    Monark is literally Caligula Effect just greyer.
    I want to love Monark, I really do.
    But it's just not letting me.
    The story is uninteresting, the combat is uninteresting, the graphics is uninteresting, the world is uninteresting and I could care less about the characters.
    It's just so... Boring.
    Which is sad to me.
    All those times I would check the eshop to see if there's a release day.
    Looking forward to explore a new world and story with amazing characters.
    Instead I found Caligula Effect clone.
    If I hadn't played Caligula Effect, I wonder if I would've liked the game more. I only got the game because it was on offer and I wanted to play a rpg while I waited for Monark to come out.
    Just a shame

    after having played through a bit more of this: I strongly urge anyone who is interested in this game to pick up Lost Dimension instead. not because Monark is a bad game, but it is extremely similair to that game, which is cheaper. Weaker story, characters and gameplay. it has better graphics and music, though. And then returning to consider if you like these sort of games enough(since there's a similair gameplay loop, however, lost dimension has a tratior-mechanic and social deduction game rather than a "find the phone" thing. every member also gains xp per fight rather than it just being your main-party so grinding isn't that much of an issue). after playing lost dimension, going into this game is a lot less grating, cuz you sort of know the combat system well enough to plan around stuff pre-emptively, even like, playing blind. lost dimension is also by furyu and on steam for like 25 euro-ish so it's a lot cheaper as-well
