Thank you for playing MONSTER CARDS!
With the previous update, the expansion DLC “Plus License” greatly expanded the freedom of card creation.
The cards shared on social media and our Discord server are full of creativity and individuality — seeing them always brings us joy and inspires us every day as developers!
Although Plus License is not a low-priced DLC, we are committed to ensuring that the game continues to offer value beyond its price through future feature expansions and updates. Please look forward to what’s coming next!
And now, in this update, we are introducing a brand-new DLC to celebrate the 3rd anniversary: “Card of Inspiration”, featuring nine skills selected from the Skill Idea Contest.
These unique skills — born from the imagination and creativity of our community — will open up entirely new possibilities in MONSTER CARDS!
Skill Pack DLC
Furthermore, we have added several quality-of-life improvements, such as resolution settings and the ability to switch between fullscreen and borderless window modes.
Enjoy the evolved MONSTER CARDS, along with the brand-new skills!
