About the Game

This is my first game, created in within a limited timeframe and minimal budget, which is why it is not fully polished and uses many free assets. Every aspect of this game reflects a labor of love. It is my hope that you will enjoy it for what it is, and be able to see my vision and the potential of what it could be.

Welcome to The Monster War

This game combines 3 game modes into 1 exciting and unique experience, bringing to life the heroic exploits of Lyonel Cooper, a valiant knight from the pages of "A Tale of Destiny" (my first book). Play as our hero on a quest to protect the kingdom from a relentless onslaught of monstrous invaders.

Starting in the Side Scroller mode, immersive yourself in adventure across a landscape filled with danger. Push back the monstrous threat with combat and exploration, but beware—run out of time and the monster war will come to your front door.

If you do not win the Side Scroller mode, you are sent to the front lines of Tower Defense mode. Lead the battle against waves of enemies as you fortify the castle's defenses and thwart the advancing horde of goblins, orcs and trolls.

If you do manage to locate the monster's base in the side scroller mode, you must win the Casual Puzzle mode, to determine the fate of the kingdom. Launch catapults and dismantle their base piece by piece. Failure here will bring you back to the Side Scroller mode, requiring you to locate their nearest stronghold again, but victory will bring an end to the war!

Join the battle in The Monster War to become a part of this epic tale!
