Monster Strike (モンスターストライク Monsutā Sutoraiku?) is a mobile physics game with elements of RPGs, strategy games and cooperative multiplayer. It is developed by Mixi for the iOS and Android platforms. The game was co-created by Yoshiki Okamoto. In Japan, its name is often shortened to MonSt (モンスト Monsuto). By June 30, 2015, the game had daily revenues of $4.2 million, and later became the highest-grossing mobile game of 2016, earning $1.3 billion for the year. A more traditional RPG of Monster Strike was released for the Nintendo 3DS in December 2015.
The game can be summed up as a cross between Nintendo's Pokémon and Rovio's Angry Birds; the former in that it centers around monster collecting and the latter in that battles take place using catapult mechanics, similar to an earlier Capcom title called Metal Walker.
An anime film adaptation titled Monster Strike The Movie was released on December 10, 2016.
Monster Strike has been compared to competitor Puzzle & Dragons and other freemium puzzle games in that the player battles waves of monsters to collect them, fuse them, and evolve them and earn gold and other items through gameplay to get stronger monsters, and build a list of friends with monsters to use as well. What sets it apart is that rather than being a tile-matching video game, the player aims and flicks their monsters around on a field, similar to billiards/pool, bumping off of walls and enemies to perform damage. Colliding the currently in play monster with any of the allied monsters activates Bump Combos (友情コンボ Yūjō Konbo, "Friend Combos") that set off explosions, energy beams, or projectiles to perform damage on opponent monsters. Every turn, numerous counters on enemy monsters count down to launch various attacks that deal damage or add hazards to the field. Player monsters often have other unique pasive abilities to counter these hazards, or may have passive abilities that cause greater damage to particular kinds of enemy monsters. Some monsters also have gauges that when it is launched at the right time, it activates a secondary gauge ability as well as slightly increases their attack strength. Each of the player's monsters also has its own counter, which allows the player to activate the monster's Strike Shot (ストライクショット Sutoraiku Shotto) attack to perform more damage. The final battle of each Quest Mission features a Boss monster that has a moving critical hit point. Monster Strike also offers co-operative play for up to 4 players.
