Journey of Monarch takes you on a cel-shaded RPG across a fantasy world, out now

Journey of Monarch, a brand-new open-world MMORPG, is now available on iOS and Android! Explore the medieval fantasy realm of Arden as your customizable monarch. Team up with a vibrant cast of characters, forging friendships and engaging in epic battles.

Having garnered over four million pre-registrations, Journey of Monarch is a significant mobile game release. Players assume the role of a monarch, a highly customizable character embarking on an adventure through the richly detailed world of Arden. Download it now from the iOS App Store and Google Play.

Developed using Unreal Engine 5, Journey of Monarch boasts stunning visuals and dynamic open-world combat. While the graphics are impressive, the long-term success will hinge on the engaging nature of the battles.

Beyond the Butterfly Theme: What truly captivated me during previews wasn't necessarily the gameplay (which is largely predictable within the genre), but the exceptional visuals. The blend of medieval-inspired 2D art, cel-shaded models, and perspective creates a unique aesthetic, resembling a miniature tabletop RPG map.

However, the game's gameplay innovation remains to be seen. While the visuals are impressive, it faces stiff competition from titles like Dragonheir. Its success will depend on whether it offers a sufficiently distinct gameplay experience.
