Monolith: After The End Wiki



The Game
"'Monolith is a top down action shooter with procedurally generated elements. Explore a progression of floors as you make your way into the depths of the facility, encountering deadly enemies, fantastic weapons, upgrades, choices and revelations as you venture deeper towards a great and calamitous power.' - Description from Steam"Monolith is a Bullet Hell-Roguelike game developed and published by team D-13, where you explore random generated floors, while fighting any enemie and boss that stand in your way, searching for the "great and calamitous power", your first ship is Null, the Twelfth Visitor, also while in the tutorial, you encounter D-13, the Thirteenth Visitor, and then you get to the game's hub, and then the game really start.

Multiplier
"'Try to keep your Multiplier high for the big money. It goes up while you're scrapping fools. And takes a hit when you do.' - Kleines"The Multiplier is shown on the top-right cornor of the screen, next to the minimap, starts at x1.0 and while killing enemies it goes up and consequently increases the amount of scrap you gain, to a maximum of x2.5 (x3.0 on Relics of the Past DLC), if you take damage it will go down x1.0 at a time (if damage is negated by the Autobomb Upgrade, it will go down x0.5 instead, also you dont lose multiplier if you take damage while having a shield)

Dashing
Dashing is a fundamental mechanic of the game, you can dash by pressing RMB, R1 on controller (if not reassigned to another button). While dashing you gain a speed boost that you can use to cover large portions of the rooms or to get out of danger (Like a bunch of enemies trapping you next to the wall). The Blink upgrade make you invulnerable to bullets and contact damage while dashing, but it does not give you a speed boost.

Bomb Regeneration
Bombs are crucial parts of the gameplay of Monolith, being able to make all bullets disapear and push enemies near you back is very helpful, thanks to the game mechanics after 1 room you recieve half of a bomb, and if you complete another room, you'll recieve a bomb, only if you're below the bomb cap (normally 2 bombs and you can increase the max capacity with the Extra Pow upgrade).
