Relation to Monster Castle Defense

Main article: Differences between Monster Castle versions

There are several similarities between Monster Castle: Level Pack and Monster Castle Defense. The art of both games is very similar but with a few colour differences. The goal of each level is still the same, that is to say protect the demon queen from enemies, but there are different game mechanics.

Unusually both games are titled Monster Castle but Monster Castle: Level Pack is on both Fliptic.com and Kongregregate.com while Monster Castle Defense is only on Kongregate. Also Monster Castle Defense has less levels then Monster Castle: Level Pack.

Levels

Monster Castle Defense has 16 levels with each four levels being part of a separate castle. There are four castles with the first level of each castle having a easy difficulty, the second having a normal difficulty, the third having hard, and the fourth being extreme. To complete a level the player must defeat all enemies. If the demon queen comes into contact with five enemies, the demon queen will consume the fifth and explode which instantly ends the level.

In easy mode there are least amount of waves with generally weak enemies contained in those waves and the player starts out with 300 bones. In normal mode there are slightly more waves than easy mode, enemies within the waves are organized to be more difficult to defeat than easy mode, and the player starts out with 200 bones. In hard mode there are more waves then normal mode as well as the enemies arranged more strategically and the player starts out with 100 bones. Extreme mode is the most difficult mode of all having more waves then all other difficulties, the enemies contained within these waves are more dangerous and strategically placed, and the player starts out with 40 bones.

At the start of the game only the first two levels of the first castle are unlocked. If the player completes a level of one difficulty and the next castle does not have that difficulty unlocked, the level of that difficulty for the next castle will be unlocked as well as a higher difficulty for the castle the player has beaten the level on.
