A free city destruction combat game

Monster City Smash is a casual game for people who want to smash up a cartoon city with a giant monster tentacle. Cause enough damage in order to progress while trying to keep your own damage to a minimum as the humans retaliate.

The city destruction elements will remind many people of the old Sim City games when you set monsters and disasters on your own cities. It has wobbly physics like the Surgeon Simulator games. Once you cause enough damage and/or collect enough money, you can move to a new area.

Cartoon simulation destruction

This city destruction simulation game doesn’t aim for realism. The buildings fall apart like they are made of cardboard, there is no blood, and the humans are barely visible. The army retaliates against your attacks, but if you target them first, then you can get through each area pretty easily.

Not very well optimized

The game crams in adverts at random intervals, and they create a lag because they have to download and then load into the game. The game’s lag also means you may have destroyed a building already, but it looks like you missed it because the tentacle is still moving. Still, the destruction animation hasn’t started yet, which breaks the immersion a little.

Rinse, repeat, and it is over

The biggest problem with this game is its length and content level. Many of the areas are just expanded and reconfigured copies of the last. Plus, you can brute force your way through the early areas and complete the game very quickly.

Maybe the controls are bad on purpose

Maneuvering the giant tentacle in this city destruction game is pretty imprecise and subject to physics. However, this may have been an intentional design decision to make the game more difficult and less clinical in its execution.
