Skytear Horde: Monoliths is a standalone cooperative card battler for one to three players. Each player commands an asymmetric alliance deck while an automated horde sends minions through three lanes, summons outsiders, and pressures the shared castle. Heroes, attachments, spells, and tactical card play must be timed against the enemy’s predictable but escalating behavior. Defeating monsters yields rewards, yet every resource spent on the current wave may leave the defense exposed later. The set introduces monoliths and additional factions while remaining compatible with Skytear Horde and Skytear Horde: Campaigns. Deck construction, varied enemy decks, and adjustable difficulty create a demanding puzzle with enough control to reward careful sequencing rather than lucky survival.
