    Good game, kokoro best girl.
    The ones who voted negative are unloved by their parents and never had a girlfriend.

    Monark is a Great game. It has a good story, good characters, great puzzles, and a solid gameplay. The two things that are bad about the game is that the graphics are a bit outdated, and the whole story can get a bit repetitive just like the gameplay. But if you don't mind games where you have to grind a lot, then the repetitive gameplay won't be that bad. The story also takes a lot ofMonark is a Great game.

The story also takes a lot of inspiration from "Shin Megami Tensei" and "Persona" so you will see a lot of similarities if you don't mind. But what I really, really, like is the psychologies test the game has in it. But I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't do almost anything with this psychologies tests that only make you stronger in battle instead of affecting the story, or even more. I already got the platinum trophy, and put in a hundred of hours in this game, because I genuinely liked this game. I highly recommend this game if you like JRPG's or if you are new into this genre and want to try it.… Expand

    Monark can be seen as a good opportunity to try something new in an ocean of stale JRPG tropes, especially for the players who enjoy tactical thinking and resource management gameplay.

    Despite uneven patches in overall presentation, combat is superb. Easily understandable yet laden with depth, gripping enemy encounters elevate Monark. [Issue#12, p.89]

    The story and the philosophical themes give Monark a reason to play and that also counts for the tactical combat. However, visually the game is not that good and the level design could also be a lot better. Monark introduces a lot of original ideas and styles, but fails in the execution which is a shame. Don’t get it wrong, it’s a fine game, but it has so much more potential.
