The game's premise is pretty simple; monsters of all shapes and sizes are rampaging through a town and its up to four different characters to cleanse the streets of the creatures. Unlike Hunter: The Reckoning, the monster hunters are not super dark. The four hunters are a nerd, a cheerleader, the goth chick and a skater/stoner. All can use one melee weapon and a ton of ranged weapons from machine guns to flame throwers to rocket launchers. This PC alpha demo does support the typical mouse and keyboard for its controllers but it became clear while playing the build that Monster Madness that it needs a console style controller to really get a handle on controlling your playable characters (the game is being targeted for both PC and next-gen consoles).

The creatures themselves are varied and numerous, especially when you enter sections of the game where "Monster Fest' increases the amount of creatures on screen dramatically. You have the standard slow moving zombies to fight along with vampires, teleporting demons, werewolves and more to take out. Thankfully you will have access to upgrades to your weapons. When you take out creatures they leave crystals which you can trade to the friendly weapon salesman Larry for more ammo, weapons and more. In addition to single player, Monster Madness is currently planned to have co-op multiplayer support.
