About

The Last Monster

Features
Read full description

Build a deck as the Vampire or the Werewolf and fight your way out of a three-act prison, one turn-based card battle at a time. The heroes already won. You are the last monster they left in the cells. Each monster plays by its own rule. The Vampire fills his Blood as he fights; when it's full, Blood Echo plays your next card twice, the second time without spending mana. The Werewolf builds Fury, and at 3 he becomes the Beast and stays that way: every attack deals double damage, until you play a Defense card, which costs 1 more mana and turns him back. Every run is a new escape: a new map, new card rewards, new relics, new events. Enemies show their intent before they act, so every turn is a question you can read. And every night brings a Night Shift: one prison, the same for everyone, with its own task and a twist to the rules. Finished tasks unlock new cards and relics, and every 30 tasks you choose a legendary card that joins your escapes. • 131 cards, most of them unique to one of the two monsters, including 6 legendaries. The Vault keeps every card and relic you find. • 28 relics, 30 enemies, 25 events, and a pool of three bosses at the end of each act • Three acts of 15 floors each, then 10 Ascension levels once you get out • Act 1 is yours in full. Acts 2 and 3 are ad-supported: watch one short ad at each act transition, or open them for good with a single purchase, Full Escape, which also removes ads. No subscription. • Plays offline, and your progress is backed up to iCloud • Game Center leaderboard and achievements App languages: English. Get out before the last door closes.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Wickbound at none against The Last Monster's shown. The Last Monster's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
