If you're a fan of dice-rolling mechanics and have found yourself missing the thrill of games like Monopoly Go, you might want to keep an eye on Monoloot, the latest offering from My.Games, the creators behind titles such as Rush Royale and Left to Survive. Monoloot: Dice and Journey is a fresh take on the dice-based board battler genre, currently in soft launch in the Philippines for Android users.
Unlike Monopoly Go, which sticks closely to the traditional board game format, Monoloot diverges in exciting ways by incorporating elements reminiscent of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). The game introduces RPG-style battles, castle-building, and hero-upgrading, allowing you to build your own formidable army of characters. Its vibrant visuals, blending 3D and 2D graphics, along with clear nods to popular tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), make Monoloot a standout title to watch.

In a recent podcast discussion (which unfortunately wasn't recorded), we touched on the fact that Monopoly Go, despite its massive success over the past year, appears to be losing some of its initial momentum. While it's not becoming unpopular, the explosive growth driven by its extensive marketing campaigns seems to be waning. This makes the timing of Monoloot's soft launch particularly intriguing. The popular dice mechanics from Monopoly Go are a key feature that Monoloot builds upon, adding a new twist to the genre.
