Monoloot: A Fresh Take on Dice-Rolling Board Battlers
My.Games, the studio behind hits like Rush Royale and Left to Survive, has launched a new dice-based board game, Monoloot. Currently in soft launch in the Philippines and Brazil (Android only), Monoloot: Dice and Journey blends the dice-rolling mechanics of games like Monopoly Go with the fantasy elements of Dungeons & Dragons.
Unlike Monopoly Go's close adherence to its namesake, Monoloot significantly diverges, introducing fresh gameplay mechanics. Expect RPG-style battles, castle building, and hero upgrades as you cultivate your own army of unique characters. The game's vibrant visuals, blending 2D and 3D graphics, and clear nods to tabletop RPGs make it a promising title.
The Waning Popularity of Monopoly Go
The recent decline in Monopoly Go's explosive growth, while not necessarily a drop in popularity, presents an interesting backdrop for Monoloot's launch. The success of Monopoly Go's dice mechanics clearly inspired My.Games' approach.
