Monark: A Unique RPG Experience
Monark is a new school RPG that immerses players in a school setting filled with supernatural challenges. Developed by a team with experience from the Megami Tensei series, this game offers a compelling narrative centered around the True Student Council, tasked with addressing bizarre occurrences within the school. Players assume the role of the deputy head of the council, selecting a companion from four distinct characters to navigate various story routes, each leading to different endings. The ability to skip shared routes enhances replayability, encouraging exploration of all character arcs.
The combat system in Monark is command-based, featuring a unique free move turn mechanic that adds strategic depth. Players can harness increased madness to unlock powerful skills, but caution is needed, as excessive madness may lead to uncontrollable rampages. Furthermore, the game introduces an “EGO” system that reflects the player's desires, influencing choices and the demons that can be summoned as allies. This multifaceted approach to gameplay makes Monark a noteworthy addition to the role-playing genre.
