    953 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in "Monster Camp" is widely praised for its absurdity, wit, and charm, maintaining the playful tone established in the original "Monster Prom." Players appreciate the clever dialogue, quirky characters, and the game's ability to evoke laughter through both silly and dark humor, often enhanced by multiplayer interactions.

    • “The humor is fantastic, and the multiple ending possibilities give this game a ton of replayability.”
    • “It's a hilarious, inclusive, and endlessly replayable party game disguised as a visual novel.”
    • “The writing is witty as in the previous game, I love this humor, please never change.”
    • “Tl;dr: Monster Camp attempts to expand on the mechanics of Monster Prom, but the game ends up being a long, unfunny mess that at worst feels boring, and at best is maybe as engaging as Monster Prom... maybe.”
    • “They also extended the events of this game so they're now nearly twice as long compared to Prom's events, which, considering the writing took a dive, makes traversing the game a boring slog at worst, and genuinely funny at best, although the unfunny moments heavily outweigh the funny moments.”
    • “I've unironically never experienced anything as criminally unfunny and cringe as the writing in this game.”

    • “The gameplay loop is still fun enough to make us want to try another round.”

    • “The writing returns with even more wacky and funny storylines to explore.”
    • “Conversations drag, and the story events lack any tight comedic relief.”
    • “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.”
    • “Fun game but really wish certain endings weren't determined by vague choices in the storyline you're trying to do.”

    168 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The artwork is gorgeous, and the new ending credits really are amazing.”
    • “The art style, writing, and overall pace of the game is almost identical to Monster Prom except a bit more refined and polished.”
    • “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.”
    • “The artwork here is terrible; it's a hodge-podge of amateurish 'my first Wacom tablet' style drawings used instead of professional-looking game assets.”
    • “It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to arrange someone who can create graphical assets properly, or a lack of talent; regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low, enough on its own to deter gamers.”
  • music
    149 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The music is really good, and I really appreciate the creators implementing the options to take out certain words or references.”
    • “The music can get a bit bleh at times due to repetitiveness, but there is at least one in-game way I know of to shake up the music.”
    • “The usual Monster Prom surf rock bops in the background; solo players will likely want to supply their own music after a few runs to stay sane.”
    • “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.”

    • “Monster Camp is a delightful game that breathes life into the dating sim genre with a mix of over-the-top humor and poignant character development.”
    • “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 harder 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.”
    • “The character development feels lacking compared to the first game, which is disappointing since the original did such a great job of building connections with the characters.”

    • “This game is a highly replayable masterpiece built with love, sweat, and the audience in mind.”
    • “Maybe the choices need some traits to succeed; the rules are unclear and obfuscated, and with only so little to do other than to read, I assume replayability will be as boring as the monotonous voice of your geography teacher.”
    • “Game has ample quality of life considerations, including couch co-op, online play, and remote play together, separate or shared controller play, save features, and fairly extreme replay value. However, the game is presently in a fairly aggressive state of early access, with many subgames not yet present and certain features still in development.”

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The combination of strategy, role-playing, and deck-building mechanics creates a unique gameplay experience, and the game's striking visuals and atmospheric music help to immerse players in its dark and gothic world.”
    • “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.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp has the completely unrealistic cash grab price of $12 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games.”

    • “I consider this to be a slightly more optimized version of its predecessor.”
    • “There are some features currently missing, but there are promises to update the game to include them.
