The game is designed after 2D animes that we love and cherish. The colors are not too vibrant, but not too dull. While you can see the inspirations from other anime-based games, MONPIC has its own unique characteristics and features, giving a bit of flare to the game.
In the trailers, we can see that the developers have put enough thought into the world-building. It doesn’t look like a generic design borrowed straight from another anime. The characters look really cute, and you cannot help but fall in love with the dragon hatchling you meet in the game. However, you cannot freely explore the world, in fact, and if you are into open-world battle games, MONPIC might not be what you are looking for.
