    • “The new mechanics really shake up the gameplay while keeping the original's awesome sense of humor.”

    • “Where is the actual gameplay in any of this?”
    • “New players simply won't understand certain mechanics - such as choosing the option that is associated with whichever of your stats is highest in order to succeed in an event - because they aren't explained.”
  • graphics123 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim for their beautiful and charming art style, which enhances the overall experience with vibrant colors and well-designed characters. Many players appreciate the unique and whimsical visuals, noting that the artwork contributes significantly to the game's humor and appeal.

    • “The graphics and art are gorgeous and unique, the stories are hilarious, and the game is incredibly unique.”
    • “The art style is subpar by my standards, with the art direction falling fully down the 'women are curvy, and men are only made of squares and rectangles' hole.”
    • “During gameplay, you are assigned a love interest based on a 'quiz', play through each 'day' of 'camp' (that doesn't really immerse you into the setting rather than mentions or visuals of campgrounds) which is just a discussion between you and your assigned love interest you have to navigate through, and try and choose random responses to win them over.”
    • “It's much more crass and graphic, where a lot of the time it felt as though Monster Prom needed to be more coy and while the previous game was zany and whacky and generally quite horny by the time of the endings, this game is just out there.”
  • story122 mentions

    The game's story is praised for its humor, depth, and replayability, featuring well-developed characters and multiple branching storylines that keep players engaged.

Overall, the storytelling is described as both hilarious and touching, with beautiful art that enhances the experience.

    • “Each character's storylines are really well thought out and there's always a new outcome to be explored.”
    • “Under the sweet (and/or violent and/or ridiculous) monster dates and surprisingly deep lore is a story about friendship, growth, and embracing yourself while also working towards becoming a better person.”
    • “The writing is clever, the story is unexpected, the replay value is high, and the art is beautiful.”
    • “It didn't feel like a game at all, but rather a visual, interactive story with what feels like a very linear, two-dimensional storyline.”
    • “The first game felt like real people in a school doing random things every hour of every day, where Monster Camp makes each love interest have an obvious story arc to follow, and that ruins it.”
    • “This probably allows for longer, more cohesive plot lines, but kind of makes the whole choice at the end of who you'll ask out feel a little pointless, as there's not much reason to choose anyone but the character who has appeared at every single encounter in the game.”
  • music117 mentions

    The music in the game has received widespread praise for its upbeat and engaging soundtrack, which enhances the overall experience and atmosphere. Many players highlighted the memorable ending credit song and animations, describing them as delightful and emotionally impactful.

    • “The soundtrack does a great job of making the game even more enjoyable.”
    • “The music gets quite repetitive.”
    • “Just a warning though that the music in the post-game credits is really loud, and from what I can see, the in-game volume settings don't work on it.”
    • “Plus, the title screen music is the normal Monster Prom music and the 'pick your date' screen still says the words 'prom' on it, even though this game has nothing to do with prom, so this leads me to believe that a lot of it was just cut and pasted over.”

    • “My biggest gripe is that the character development seems more stunted than it did in the first game. I suspect this is because they used a lot of the same characters, making it hard to continue character development in a sequel when it was done so well in the original. This makes it harder to feel connected with the characters.”
    • “Monster Camp is a delightful game which breathes life into the dating sim genre with a mix of over-the-top humor and poignant character development.”
    • “The character development feels lacking compared to the first game, which diminishes the emotional connection I had with the characters.”

Overall, the combination of clever writing, unique mechanics, and rich content ensures that players find new surprises and enjoyment in each run.

    • “My favorite mechanic is the inclusion of special events that are basically like mini secret endings that add a lot of replay value.”
    • “The special stuff hidden throughout the game ups the replay value and makes it feel almost like a treasure hunt at times, so that even on the 120th run you're still finding new surprises.”
    • “This game is really fun, very replayable, and extremely hilarious!!”
    • “But the game weaves in stats, choices, and game mechanics designed to turn what would be an otherwise simple but charming experience into a replayable delight.”
    • “The replay value is huge also with so many different secret endings.”
    • “Game has ample quality of life considerations, including couch co-op, online play, and remote play together, separate or shared controller play, save features, fairly extreme replay value, very inclusive (freeform sexuality, pronouns, etc).”
  • grinding8 mentions

    Reviews indicate that the grinding aspect of the game can be tedious and lengthy, particularly due to excessive dialogue and repetitive tasks, making solo play feel laborious.

Overall, the experience is marked by a mix of fun and frustration, with some players appreciating the new elements despite the grind.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “This game is very fun with others, but not as much by yourself because when playing alone, it's a very grindy game.”
    • “Only played it through once so far; not as good as the first dialogue-wise. The camp felt tedious, with each dialogue scene really needing to be cut in half as they're way too long.”
  • atmosphere7 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is described as whimsical, fun, and cozy, enhanced by charming art and music that foster a playful environment.

Overall, players appreciate the game's ability to create a unique and engaging atmosphere that invites social interaction and laughter.

    • “Despite the cruel, twisted, and sexual themes the game series plays around with, it still manages to create a very wholesome and cozy atmosphere while also having some of the most hilarious writing I've ever come to witness and some of the most oddly comforting characters I've seen in a game.”
    • “It has the same friendly atmosphere that enamored me with Monster Prom, while having its own distinct style.”
    • “The sequel introduces new, lovable romance options that feel fully formed in their characterizations, the artwork (while already wonderful in the first game) simultaneously maintains and elevates the whimsical atmosphere, and I appreciate that the characters (both old and new) feel like they have more depth to them.”
