Monoloot: A Fresh Take on Dice-Rolling Board Battlers
My.Games, the studio behind hits like Rush Royale and Left to Survive, has launched a new dice-based board game, Monoloot. Currently in soft launch in the Philippines and Brazil (Android only), Monoloot: Dice and Journey blends the dice-rolling mechanics reminiscent of Monopoly Go with the depth and flavor of Dungeons & Dragons.
Unlike its inspiration, Monoloot significantly departs from the established Monopoly formula. It introduces RPG-style battles, castle-building, and hero upgrades, allowing players to cultivate their own unique army of powerful characters. The game boasts vibrant visuals, a compelling mix of 2D and 3D graphics, and clear nods to popular tabletop RPGs.
The Waning Popularity of Monopoly Go
The recent decline in the popularity of Monopoly Go, despite its initial success, presents an interesting backdrop for Monoloot's launch. While not necessarily losing players, its explosive growth, fueled by a significant marketing campaign, appears to be slowing. This timing suggests a strategic move by My.Games to capitalize on the enduring appeal of dice-rolling mechanics, a key element praised in Monopoly Go.
However, if Monoloot's soft launch region isn't accessible to you, consider exploring other exciting new mobile games. Check out our list of top five new mobile games for alternative options!
