Co-op

Supporting both online and local co-op, Monster Outbreak becomes significantly more engaging when played with others.

Visually, the game adopts a charming pixel-art style that balances clarity with personality.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I thought of writing up an exhaustive list of things this game needs to fix before it feels like a proper, fully-released game (as it has been released as such and not an early access one as it seems it should have), but then I considered what the point of that would even be.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
It's a different take on tower defense, and you unlock more stuff by playing, the game also has multiplayer so you get to play with a friend which is even more fun
