Inspired by the popular and addictive "tower defense" genre, PixelJunk™ Monsters takes the simple real-time strategy concept of building, researching and base defending and presents it in a uniquely attractive style. With meticulously hand-drawn 2D art, PixelJunk™ Monsters recreates the look of a classic with crisp graphics designed for optimal viewing in Full 1080p HD.

In PixelJunk™ Monsters, the player controls a defender-of-the-forest character in a lush 2D environment. The player's goal is to strategically defend the pathway to his homebase from an onslaught of various threatening monsters. In between waves of monster attacks, the player scrambles to reinforce his defenses by collecting gold coins and jewels from fallen enemies to finance new towers and research deadlier weapons. Eventually, the player can harness the elements throughout the 20 different stages to cast lightning storms across the forest. Gamers can enjoy PixelJunk™ Monsters with a friend in offline co-op mode, which requires careful strategy and communication. Additionally, PixelJunk™ Monsters will support online leaderboards for both 1p and 2p co-op.

My wife and I really enjoyed this game. We played it on Casual difficulty which was hard enough for us. The mechanics of the game are pretty simple and new units are introduced gradually.

One great aspect of PJM is that it really encourages teamwork. To beat some of the more difficult levels you have to come up with a plan and divvy up responsibilities. It was lots of fun and had us high-five'ing each other after finishing a challenging map.

PixelJunk Monsters shines in co-op. It's fun in single player, but add a friend on the couch playing with you and it becomes and addictive blast. My fiance was a bit leery about it when I first downloaded it, but once I got her to play one map with me, she was hooked. The gameplay is simple, but belies a surprisingly deep strategy that two players need to engage in to fight off the swarms of monsters attempting to kill the poor villagers. While many maps are rather easy to "win", attaining a perfect score by saving all the villagers creates a challenge worthy of even the most hardcore gamers. This makes it one of the co-op games that hardcore and casual can both sit down with and enjoy. If you enjoy PJM, go ahead and pick up the expansion "Encore" also. It's just more of everything that made PJM so much fun.

This is a very addictive game. In co-operative mode each player controls a character that can build towers and collect money. The idea is to build towers to kill waves of monsters. The concept and art makes it a very good game for playing with your significant other!

Each time you defeat a special stage you unlock a new power. Defeating the first special stage gives you the ability to run (When you press the 'o' button), Defeating the second special stage give you the ability to place mines (you place them with the square circle, and each of the mines costs 5 gems). Defeating the final special stage gives you the ability to build a powerful tower.


Being a hardcore starcraft and warcraft strategy fan, I am now hoping someone will release a version of DoTa for the consoles!!
