About the game

Inspired by Terraria and Starbound, A Monk's Quest combines the exploration, combat, crafting, and building of a 2D sandbox adventure with living villages where every inhabitant has a life and a dream.

Journey through the world

Explore a vast, procedurally generated world spanning 8 biomes, from underground caverns and deserts to oceans and skies. Each biome has its own village, creatures, resources, and a powerful boss to overcome. Venture into the wild to gather resources and craft weapons, tools, and armor to survive. When you're faced with greater dangers, the friends you make in the villages may be the key to your success.
