MONSTER MONPIECE VITA BANNED CARDS UPGRADE
There are some interesting items like the one that lets you upgrade a card without having to do the rubbing minigame, but at 50 cents a pop, it's not worth it. The in-battle items (like the one that says it moves your units forward 1 square) are just a money grab, the game is not difficult. They're probably not worth buying because you still need enough points to upgrade cards, and the game isn't so hard that you need a bunch of top level cards.ĭon't buy the rub points, you earn plenty through normal gameplay. You can obtain seal stones in normal gameplay but they are somewhat rare, you can also earn them from online battles. This is what I remember from playing the game last year: The + packs contain the same type of card as the non + packs, but they come already upgraded.

That leads me to believe the subsequent packs might be entirely new cards. We appreciate your understanding with these rating differences.ĭid some searching and it seems like the cards you can get from "Pack 1" are available in the post-game normally. We received a Mature rating for Monster Monpiece from the ESRB with the censored material we submitted.However, for PEGI, and with the same material assets for their review, they rated it 12+ because of the minimal amount of violence shown in the game. The reason for the difference in these ratings is simply the difference in the rating system between ESRB and PEGI. We sincerely apologize for those who do not agree with any level of censorship, but we greatly appreciate your understanding with the decision we have made.Ībout the rating differences between North America (ESRB, Mature) and Europe (PEGI, 12): The borderline of what is “acceptable” will always be extremely gray and vary from person to person, but as a responsible company working in the U.S., we had to make the difficult decision that we did. This was a very difficult decision since we work very hard to satisfy our fans and want to bring the same content being offered in Japan.However, Western society is not as lenient as that of Japan when sexual images are involved-especially images of humanoids that appear to be younger than a socially acceptable age. We would like to emphasize that the game’s playtime, the game’s system, and the game’s features are all the same as the original Japanese release, and players can level up their Monster Girls to the highest levels as well, again, matching the Japanese release. That said, each card that has had its image removed will still have the same number of levels for the player to increase, but the higher level card images will be the same as the lower level, even though they have leveled up and have become more powerful. This means that over 300 cards are left untouched from the original images. The number of censored cards is about 40 out of the approximately 350 card images available in the game. We kept the same number of cards in the game as the original Japanese version, but replaced some of the higher level Monster Girl images with the “less exposed” lower level versions of the corresponding Monster Girls due to some intense sexual imagery. These cards-meaning the “Monster Girls”-are able to be powered up by exposing themselves (taking off their clothes) via the level-up features called First Crush Rub and Extreme Love.

Monster Monpiece is a card battle game, in which players summon various “Monster Girls” onto the game’s battlefields and then fight their opponents. Idea Factory International is fully aware of the concerns expressed by fans, so we would like to inform everyone about the censored images in greater detail.
