Monster Strike, one of those monster collecting game franchises that have become so popular in Japan (*cough* Pokemon, Digimon *cough*), has arrived for North American Android users as well after being one of the top games in Japan for so long now. It is being pushed by social networking outfit mixi and is now being made available for Android (and iOS) users.
Created by Yoshiki Okamoto, creator of classics such as Street Fighter 2 and Final Fight, Monster Strike combines the familiar monster/card collecting gameplay with tight action elements and a great fight system. Then you add in your RPG levelling element and you have a hit game.
Users can utilize a very simple tap, pull back and release mechanism for flinging your monsters around the play area. Slam into enemies for damage, slam into friends to trigger nice “Bump Combos” and special moves. Plus, the play area is usually littered with obstacles, forcing users to strategically aim their releases to take down those tough bosses.
But wait, there’s more! The game also has a social element where a quest can support 3 more of your friends (4 members in total). Play locally – that is, if you’re sitting just meters from each other – or play online via Facebook connections. We’re seriously thinking of trying this game out now. It’s available as a free download with IAP at the Google Play Store. Check out the source link.
