Description from Steam STEAM

Deeply Tactical ASCII Roguelike

Monster Lily is a darkly comic, deeply tactical dungeon crawler where survival matters more than winning.

A traditional roguelike packed with unique, often surprising mechanics.
Built around tactical combat, item synergy, and positioning.
Procedural dungeons that feel hand-crafted.
Enemies defined by their distinctive abilities.
Animations & soundtrack that push ASCII to its limits.

Tactical Survival

Monster Lily rewards creativity. Mix weapons, items, and strange powers - even the less dignified kind - to survive impossible odds. Here's just a brief example of nearly 100 unique items & abilities:

Use a Door Toy to create a locked door, useful for escaping or trapping a horde of monsters.
Drink fluids that impart special powers, such as Ogre, Faerie, and Shadow.
Wield a Battle Fan, dealing more damage as you dance around your enemies.
Try the Claw, which multiplies damage with sustained hits.
Or, if all else fails… unleash your bladder.

Combat

Combat, like the rest of Monster Lily, is all about tactics. Success in battle depends on positioning, instincts, and seizing every chance for critical damage.

Checkpoints / Scoring

Monster Lily is hard, especially early game when there aren't many resources available. Don't give up! Every 8 levels offers a checkpoint, along with a scoring system that rewards skillful play. To see the true ending, you’ll have to make it to the end without a single death.

Keyboard Controls

Monster Lily is built for keyboard-only play in the classic roguelike style. If you haven’t played this way before, there’s a brief learning curve, but it becomes second nature fast. The Smooth Walk System makes movement easy and natural: just hold a movement key in the direction you want to go.
