An asymmetric 4v1 Dead By Daylight-style game called Monstrum 2 is coming to Steam Early Access on January 28th. There will be an open 𝕴beta weekend just before launch, on January 23-24.
Monstrum 2 looks to be a major departure from the original Monstrum, which released on Steam in May 2015. Though both games involve sneaking around monsters and solving puzzles to🎐 eventually escape before you're captured and killed, Monstrum was a single-player game with procedurally generated maps and AI monsters. Monstrum 2 will introduce multiplayer 4v1 asymmetric gameplay, drawing much inspiration from Dead by Daylight.
There are some major differences between Monstrum 2 and Dead By Da🌞ylight. Unlike Dead By Daylight, all five players are locked in first-person mode. Though it doesn't seem like the monster has the same kind of limited POV that DBD monsters typically have.
Each rou🦩nd of Monstrum 2 takes place on a remote off-shore rig called the Sparrow Lock. The human characters are all prisoners on this abandoned research facility a♓nd must work together to solve puzzles, avoid the monster, and escape.
When early access begins, players will be able to choose from three monsters, including the newly revealed the Malacosm; a molluscan, Lovecraftian nightmare. The monsters seem to have very different playstyles. While the Brute can smash through walls and rush down the prisoners, Malacosm can teleport across the map, phase through walls, and use clairꦬvoyance to see where they're hiding.
Before launch 🧸on January 28, there will be a free beta weekend so that those who are new to Monstrum can try out the game before they buy. If you , you'll𓂃 be able to track when the beta goes live on January 23.
Dead By Daylight has dominated the 4v🌃1 market for years, and even though other 🐲asymmetric games have come along like Predator: Hunting Ground, it's great to see the genre continue to grow with new games like Monstrum 2.
