Tactical monster collecting with a deck-building twist

Montabi combines deckbuilding with monster collecting in a charming cartoon style adventure. This roguelike, turn-based deckbuilder centers around taming montabi to build your army. Each creature has unique cards, unlocking extra abilities as they level up. Players go through branching paths a standard of roguelike adventures.

Collecting creatures and building decks

Along your journey, you’ll come across shops, boss battles, and rest stops. Both you and your montabi companions fight through various encounters to rescue your special montabi that was kidnapped, he doesn’t have a name, so it gets confusing. The story drives players forward while holding the classic deckbuilder structure.

Combat follows familiar deckbuilder practices: opposing playfields and action point management. Each montabi’s unique card set allows for different strategies using AP for movement, attacks, and defense. Successfully defeated enemies can be tamed using treats, expanding your collection. While battlefield space is limited based off active montabi, players can swap over creatures using character specific cards. Strategic positioning remains central since your main character can be defeated, ending the run.

The future of Montabi

The complete version promises over 60 collectible montabis. A demo is currently available on Steam, though no official release date has been announced. Fans of cartoon aesthetics and strategic deckbuilding should definitely keep this one on their radar!
