Is this game dead?

[Death_Knelle]

Can't find any monsters or prisoners, tried all the servers. Kinda disappointing if it is, had this on my wishlist for a while.

There aren't that many players, depending on your region and time it might take a while to find players. I suggest playing the game in the evening GMT on europe servers as there are usually the most people online. Don't really know about the american or asian server.
Another solution would be to ask on the Team Junkfish Discord server if people want to join and to see when some more people are playing. But thats up to you :)

I have the same Problem

What region do i change it to

[DevilNaiden]

You can select the server you want to join when you start Monstrum 2. Usually europe is most active, but it also depends on the time. GMT evenings are pretty good to find people. If you really struggle to find matches you can also join the official Junkfish Discord server where you can ask people if they want to join and play with you :)

Why does it depend on the time? thats ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are europeans ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nocturnal?

[DevilNaiden]

If you are living in the US, the time matters because when its evening for you its almost morning for european. Also yes, the time also matters because most people play in the afternoon or evening.

I don't think the devs even care anymore. They're not trying to add anything big to the game or even make big balance changes, they're not trying to bring in new players in any way, and all of our pleas for single player or an AI mode are going unnoticed even though it would benefit them greatly.

They seem confused honestly. Like they know the game's a flop but they don't know what to do with it now, so they're just pushing out small-scale updates at a snails pace.

Team Junkfish is a small indie studio, you can't expect them to push out big updates in a month. The march update was a bigger one that added loads of things and changed quite a bit in terms of balance. A new roadmap will also be published in some time.
And they do listen to feedback and suggestions, most notably on the Discord but also on the forums. But there are some things that the devs just won't do or won't consider as it isn't what they want the game to be. For example: They do not want to add singleplayer and AI, M2 will be multiplayer only. The devs have stated this multiple times.

The March update was not big at all. It didn't add a ton, it was mostly small tweaks and fixes. They should really be focusing on adding bigger things and making more important balance changes instead of focusing on these tiny barely significant things. I'm not asking for huge updates by the month, I'm just asking that they get their priorities straight and focus on the actually important things.

man that does suck i cant find anyone either... i dont wanna refund the game but it does look and sound Sick! but if i cant play i cant play you know?

i was looking forward to Monstrum 2, but way too early in development as of now

game is empty just like Last Year's asymetrical PvP, unfinished gameplay loop with no carrot

0 players online besides a 4 hour period near primetime EU

not enough content, more updates needed, too much Janky animations

because of the oneshot grabs every killer has, it feels like your playing against T3 Tombstone Myers for all monsters, all monsters feel similar to go against

Monstrum 2 released WAY too early, it has killed all hype for the game

Home Sweet Home Survive is the only competitor that did it right by building a good live service foundation before releasing in Early Access with a varied gameplay loop and carrot to chase and a roadmap with regular quarterly content drops

(edit) Identity V also exists but is mobile only

They are waiting on having lots of people play as if their were their wouldn't be much of anything fun because the game is having issues fixed and they are making sure the game is good before having it all put around for everyone, so just try and go on different servers to find people

The current average player amount is somewhere around 10. Chances are there won't even be that many and instead there'll be 2 or 3. Switching servers does nothing.

The game is quite literally unplayable because they decided not to market the game well and nobody else is playing it. Waiting for the game to be in a better state before advertising it works a lot better with any other genre. With multiplayer it just doesn't work, because for multiplayer games to even be played there needs to be a lot of players.

On the discord their are people who play together privately and they report bugs they see, not everyone does and I get that and that there is also low player count but they need to fix the game and with the low amount of people doing so and the small team that is junkfish, just wait ok
