Indonesian studio Mankibo, in collaboration with publisher Akupara Games, has unveiled Montabi, a game that blends roguelike mechanics with deckbuilding and monster collecting. The gameplay revolves around strategic positioning on a 3×3 grid, where how you use your abilities is just as important as which ones you choose. It will be available for PC via Steam.
You play as the savior of a city, tasked with assembling teams of loyal Montabi creatures. Each creature possesses a unique set of abilities, and the key to victory lies in discovering the perfect synergy between them. As the game progresses, Montabi evolve into more powerful forms, unlocking new ability cards that expand your tactical options.
The game also features a variety of trainers, each with their own distinctive combat style. Every defeat comes at a cost, if your trainer falls in battle, they’re lost as well, adding extra weight to your resource management decisions. The final version of the game is expected to include over 60 different Montabi creatures.
