Our game: a spooky town where monsters run the shops, with a comic-strip story.
Our game. Monster Country puts a haunted town to work. Rory Thompson is the town’s mayor and, after one unlucky jog past a portal, a werewolf. Mamba is a medusa hair stylist. Morgan is a witch who traded broom-riding for baking. Their story arrives in comic strips as you move through the town’s episodes.
You open businesses, buy customers and upgrade the characters who run them. From the second episode, a business can be automated once a named character reaches a set level, and it keeps earning while the app is closed. Events run alongside the main game with their own goals and leaderboards. It is free on iPhone and Android, with optional in-app purchases and rewarded ads you choose to watch.
The shared appeal is a funny supernatural cast with a story to follow. The difference is what you do: you choose which business and character to upgrade next, rather than furnish a house.
Best forMystery Mansion players who came for the spooky humour and the cast, and want progress that continues between visits.
Weak spotYou do not decorate freely: shops follow a set layout, and customers and cash reset at the end of each episode. Characters and cards carry forward.
Verdict: The pick for a spooky cast and story in an idle game.
