Two major new game mechanics have been added to Monstermonger - contracts from wealthy dungeon owners to capture specific monsters, and swapping starting skills for extra gold. Both of these add new tactical options in the game, forcing players to think more carefully about how they balance their short and long term priorities. Also included are a ton of minor tweaks and improvements, generally adding extra layers of polish as the game rapidly approaches the end of Early Access and its final release.
