  • Steam 14 December 2015

Latest Steam announcements

  • Fixed non-smooth monster speeds after 60fps patch - 27 August 2026

    And also fixed some input lag. A little bit.

  • Now runs at 60fps instead of 30fps - 24 August 2026

    That's about it!

  • Hopefully fixed a GPU startup crash - 2 March 2026

    Game crashes on startup on some GPUs. This is an attempt to fix it.

  • ASCII renderer made prettier - 20 April 2025

    also ASCII renderer is now default.

  • Renderer update - 23 November 2024

    1. walls will have appearance of depth 2. power-up glow effect enhanced, tank has a shadow suggesting height 3. this is a huge performance hit, hopefully not felt on modern gaming systems

  • Game has been renamed to "Mutant Gate". - 22 November 2024

    I'm working on an RPG which takes place after the events of this game, which involves some retconning of Monsterland's setting in order to fit it, and I've been unhappy with Monsterland's very generic name for a long time. Now Monsterland is "Mutant Gate". It's more unique and has more of a punch. Now I'm working on renaming the actual application in Steam store.

  • Optional intro level is back - 14 November 2024

    Also, minor narrative changes in prison and last level. Now forces SDL into D3D mode just in case SDL would misbehave on Steam Deck.

  • Brightness option added - 7 November 2024

    Monsterland now has an option to alter in-game brightness in "Game/Video options".

  • another retcon - 3 November 2024

    slightly changed game ending screen to alter location of the events

  • Minor story retcon... - 2 November 2024

    ... in case I reuse this universe in my new game. Basically location of protagonist's daughter moved back to Sarang-2 instead of Earth.

  • Bugfix in final boss map - 21 October 2024

    On final boss map, the "exit portal" may become inactive, so the player can't go to epilogue maps. The issue could be remedied by saving and loading the savegame. Now the issue has been fixed in code.

  • Full support for Steam Deck controls - 16 November 2022

    Monsterland is now fully controllable via Steam Deck with zero configuration required.

  • Hybrid graphics and streamlined gameplay - 7 January 2022

    The full-graphics mode was a mixed bag. Characters looked particularly bad. Monsterland is now using a hybrid mode which preserves its ASCII personality while retaining the most often encountered/boring ASCII - walls, floors and doors - as being replaced by graphical textures. Most of the effects are back to being ASCII - explosions, portals, blood, water. Player and other human and semi-human characters are back to the letter "P", monsters are "M", etc. There's no FULL ASCII mode option yet, but that may be implemented in the future. Since inventory and certain item mechanics were perfunctory/experimental, they're switched off by default, returning the game to pure shooter identity. The intro story level has been removed as well, as it doesn't have monster-killing. OTHER STUFF: I'm experimenting with random map generation again. If I can get it to make interesting maps, it will be poss…

  • Switching from ASCII to tiled bitmaps. - 5 September 2020

    What's New: Permanently switched graphics from ASCII to tiles, replicating most ASCII effects in tile form (damage splash, blood). Renderer migrated from SDL1 to SDL2, no longer using unstable custom OpenGL code New intro level Enhanced ending level providing proper closure to the story Improved music in several places More responsive movement when rapidly changing direction Small level changes (lighting, tweaks to story) Primitive inventory system (mostly to make Torches for dark places at this time) Ability to travel back and forth between levels a la Hexen hubs - useful to grab health or scrap Beta option to use mouse aiming (still limited to 8 directions, obviously) Game no longer pauses on player thoughts or NPC quips; other minor cosmetic improvements Known Issues: Inability to switch back to ASCII mode at this time (too many rendering pipeline changes). NOTE: old ASCII version is…

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

Monsterland's USD price history spans from Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Monsterland's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Oct 6, 2026 through Oct 6, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Monsterland at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
