"A story of solitary people going with endless strategy."Monads twists the typical hero-focused fantasy storyline to highlight other characters as well. Instead of adversaries being merely an obstacle to overcome they gain more agency. Even unnamed soldiers are not merely pawns for fighting a battle. Combat is not just a rote action but it is hard and painful each time. Monads introduces a unique parameter called Will. As the battle wears on characters become fatigued and lose focus. Their stats drop and theres an opportunity to make enemies retreat without even needing to kill them.Test your ability to think on a prepared stage.Diverse viewNo single protagonist but every chapter has own protagonist as different character.You can escape from a dangerous trap on a fugitives view then search the fugitives azit on a chasers view.This presentation will provide satisfaction that you are looking at the events comprehensively.20 main characters who work together and become hostile to each other for their own purposes whom will you like the most?Mercy & WillTheres not only a way to fight against an enemy that kills its purpose. Enemy runs away when it is in danger.Going through a mental breakdown such as killing an enemy or getting hurt in battle will make a cut at its will and the character will become obtuse.Depending on the characters nature the effects of certain factors may be greater or less.More sophisticated planning will be needed to minimize both sides sacrifices and maintain the characters mental capacity.Never do grindingIts a fascinating experience to have stronger powers than before but its not only too boring but meaningless to repeat the same battles dozens of times.Rewards will only be given if you open up a new story or break a new record.DifficultiesTactics is an important part of Monads but you can play it the way you want even if you dont want to use your head in the game.It offers a wide range of difficulties from Intro for who wants only to enjoy the story to Legend for who loves hardcore tactical games.
