Demons have conquered the USA.
Your battlefield is a 25-square grid.
This unit buffs nearby units of a certain key in.
This one destroys certain other units to boost itself.
This unit self-replicates and slowly fills your deck.
This unit huge damage if it’s in the back row.
This power-up temporarily replaces your militia with a full field of random units.
This unit will heal you for 1 then destroy itself.
I really like the Monster Hunter, a pompom-waving cheerleader.
Here’s one example of a build I like.
Paladins will feed off Undead anywhere on the grid, dramatically boosting their scaling.
From there, stock your deck with a mix of Paladins and Undead units to feed them.
I like Ghosts because they resist the Paladins' destruction effect while still triggering the damage bonus.
Eventually, big numbers happen.
As a powerful deck built mostly of easy-to-find pieces, this carried me through the higher difficulty levels.
I’m not thrilled about being uninventive but Million Monster Militia rewards and encourages it.
Too many runs feel doomed.
And it’s often difficult to pivot to another build even if you luck into strong pieces.
It can feel weirdly stingy too.
It all makes winning harder in an unsatisfying way, encouraging you to rely on known strong builds.
Million Monster Militia does have lots of interesting-sounding units but it discourages experimentation.
Lots of combos do scale but you’ll eventually discover they do it too slowly to go the distance.
Exciting-sounding units might also turn out to be rubbish.
The lovely Luck Be A Landlord felt rough at the start of its own early access journey.
I like enough parts of Million Monster Militia to hope it undergoes a similar journey.
Million Monster Militia is availableon Steam Early Accessfor 4.29/4.99/$4.99.
It’s co-developed and co-published by Dejobaan Games and Space Capsule Games.
