Monster Crew: Smash and grab the loot in this endless
platformer!
Finally we’ve found a uniquely stylised game which is fresh and original in
multiple different ways. Keep reading to hear more…

| Top Games android: Monster Crew |
Gameplay: You play as Frankenstein and need to run through
the spooky infested halls whilst destroying pretty much everything (and not
killing yourself in the process!). You’ll keep running forever and one tap the
screen will make you jump. Tap again and you’ll stomp down destroying anything
below. Most likely you’ll find some coins in the process but otherwise you can
pick up a lot of loot just lying around in the stage. But hey… it’s way more
fun to just destroy everything!
In essence this it very much like Jetpack Joyride – for those of you who
haven’t heard of this game: Jetpack Joyride is probably one of the best endless
runner games around and its addition of micro reward missions and upgrade packs
have made it an incredibly addictive game. Monster Crew has adapted this
winning formula and put it into their own platform game. The fundamental game
differences are that Monster Crew is broken up into short levels which go from
right to left as well as the classical left to right, and it is ultimately a
platformer where the enemies are trying to attack you. There’s also an energy
bar instead of the insta-kill style of Jetpack Joyride.
Mini mission fun: Let’s be honest… prancing around endlessly through medieval
hallways can get tedious quite quickly. So sets of mini target missions are
placed into the game to help to break up the monotony. These small objectives
vary from collecting coins to smashing targets and keep you entertained through
the repetitive corridors.
Story Fun: Upon completing a pack of mini missions you’ll get a new story
set as well as more targets. These little comic sketches are pretty damn
awesome – the fab graphics and great stylisation breathes more life into the
game and makes it very entertaining.
Game extras: The upgrades for your character, Frank, are set at quite
expensive levels. But aside from these powerups there are also bonus cards
which you can use to boost your abilities within a level. You can strategically
cast these at the beginning of every level in order to maximise on coin
collection. Unfortunately, like a deck of cards, you’re randomly assigned a
hand and you can’t just stick to the cards you find helpful.
Rating: 4/5 Monster Crew is a great twist on an endless runner game. It has
the game structure of Jetpack Joyride but with more variety and complexity.
It’s got a slight money grabbing feel which tarnishes it’s name and could deter
you from coming back to keep playing.
