Plan your next Monsters are Coming! session
Our independent guide breaks down Monsters are Coming! into five core pillars—Fortify, Forage, Fight, Progression, and Controller Support—so you can build resilient cities, gather efficiently, survive bosses, and keep your runs synced across devices.
01 / THE GUIDE
Tower Synergy
Compare archery outposts with necromancer towers in early versus late stages. Note which combinations handle wave density better and adjust your build accordingly.
- Test different tower mixes to see which handle early and late waves best.
- Upgrade towers that improve efficiency when resources are limited.
02 / THE GUIDE
Resource Route Planning
Map a direct southward path versus detours to hidden shelters. Record resource yields and survival time to decide which route fits your playstyle.
- Collect compasses at the end of each run to ease future navigation.
- Prioritise wood early to keep engine burn rates high.
03 / THE GUIDE
Boss Pattern Study
Select a Bad‑Ass boss and watch its attack cycles. Practice timing special weapon activation to maximise damage while staying safe.
- Observe each boss’s pattern to time special weapon usage.
- Upgrade abilities that complement your chosen tower layout.
04 / THE GUIDE
District Investment
Allocate city shop purchases between resource‑boosting districts and defensive upgrades. Track which allocation extends run length the most.
- Invest in districts that boost resource generation for longer runs.
- Explore hidden shelters for rarer rewards that accelerate progression.
05 / THE GUIDE
Controller Optimization
Play using DualShock or DualSense and note comfort or precision differences. Choose the layout that feels most natural for combat.
- Use Steam Cloud to keep runs backed up automatically.
- Choose the controller layout you find most comfortable for combat.
