PixelJunk Monsters 2 (PS4) – Review | SquareXO

Rob Pitt writes: PixelJunk Monsters on PS3 came out in 2007 to great reviews and the ‘deluxe’ edition on PSP received scores in the 90’s. The game was simple, it was a Tower Defence game where you would build towers in order to stop the evil creatures getting to your hut and killing the people who are surrounded there. The difference between this game and other Tower Defence games at the time was that you controlled a movable character around the screen, rather than playing a god-like being who can summon towers out of the sky. It was deemed a successful game for Q-Games and Double Eleven, so why has it taken ten years to get a sequel? Let’s take a look and see if the strategy has changed or if they have stuck to the tried-and-tested mechanics of the original game.
