With a number of melee and ranged variants to contend with, there's plenty of room for players to make use of Monkey's full arsenal and moveset.

This symbiotic relationship being made tangible through gameplay plays a huge part in immersing the player in the two characters' relationship, and it quickly became one of my favourite features.
