PixelJunk Monsters was a big success on the PlayStation 3, bringing a unique twist to the tower defense genre, along with the inimitable PixelJunk style. However, as much fun as it still is to sit down and play on the couch, Monsters is a game that definitely lends itself well to handheld play. With PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe, developer Q-Games has not only faithfully transferred the game to PSP, but has also added a plethora of new content. With a brand new island, unlockable challenges and online multiplayer, PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe has enough depth and visual charm to keep you firmly glued to your PSP, despite some frustrating issues with its difficulty.
PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe includes islands from both PixelJunk Monsters and its Encore expansion, as well as a whole new island. Each island contains several maps to play on, and each map has its own twist. For instance, one level contains only a single bridge to gain access to your base, while another contains only four trees with which to build towers.
It's difficult to complete a map on your first try, and though monsters move along a set path, it's only once you've familiarized yourself with that path and with the pattern of enemy waves that you'll know what towers to use and the best placement for them. There are different difficulty levels to select from: Casual and regular are available from the offset, and hardcore is unlocked after completing the game.
PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe is the definitive version of this game, combining previous releases with all-new content and a robust multiplayer mode. If you can see past the occasionally frustrating difficulty, you'll find a surprisingly deep and charismatic strategy game that keeps you entertained for hours--even if you're tempted to throw your PSP at the wall every now and then.
