So, since it looks like we're going to get the chance to play this in the West at some point in the future, let's at least attempt to redress that balance by looking a little at how it actually plays.Įssentially, it's a card-battling game that unfolds on a 7x3 board. In line with a lot of other coverage of the more seemingly "out there" Japanese titles, though, there wasn't a lot of attention paid to the actual game side of things. Kotaku branded the Japanese version "the most inappropriate PlayStation Vita game yet" while Destructoid's report on the game's existence focused entirely on the fact that one particular aspect of the game made you look a bit like, perhaps, possibly, you might be, uh, pleasuring your Vita. If you've heard of Monster Monpiece at all, it's probably for negative reasons. The character art's got a bit of an Atelier vibe to it. Idea Factory International, in case you haven't been following, is a North American-based branch of the Japanese developer-publisher behind titles such as the Agarest and Neptunia series, and its site aims to offer information on both localized releases of Idea Factory and Compile Heart games as well as those which are, to date, only available in Japan.įurther evidence that the game is being localized comes in the form of a PEGI rating - the European equivalent of the ESRB - that rates the game as suitable for players 12 and older, and warns of "non-realistic looking violence towards human characters, sexual images and/or sexual innuendo" as well as the fact the game features online play. I must confess I never thought I'd see a day when notorious Vita-rubbing game Monster Monpiece would be available in English, but it looks like that day is coming.Īn official announcement is yet to be emerge, but eagle-eyed fans recently spotted English language screenshots of the game over on Idea Factory International's website. ![]() Some content, such as this article, has been migrated to VG247 for posterity after USgamer's closure - but it has not been edited or further vetted by the VG247 team. ![]() This article first appeared on USgamer, a partner publication of VG247.
