Battle Overview

The game uses a traditional turn-based JRPG battle system but instead of playing the 'hero', players will be playing as Gob, a random monster that heroes normally fight to gain experience.

When heroes face these regular monsters, they are oblivious to the amount of work and effort these monsters put in to give them a good experience (and experience points).

The goal of the monster is to eventually pretend to die as the hero strikes a killing blow. There are a lot of tasks to be done, however, before your HP reaches 0. As Gob rises up the ranks, and faces higher level heroes with higher level abilities, more complicated rules are introduced. These include preparing for taunts, dropping the correct items, reacting correctly to elemental weaknesses, and others.

Gob must perform all his tasks correctly and eventually give the heroes their satisfying victory. Gob is then paid a weekly salary dependent on his job performance. As more mistakes are committed, more deductions are taken from his salary. Gob can then spend his money around town for training, skills, items, town upgrades, house improvements, and new buildings. Eventually, Gob meets other monsters who he can join in work teams.

Career opportunities abound in the random monster industry! Promotions are in store for monsters who do their job right! Benefits for higher positions include higher pay grades, more exotic work locations (everyone's tired of the forest), new skills and equipment, wider range of clients, and even body transforming palette swaps! As an RPG monster working in the forest, Gob's main task is to "level-up" heroes to prepare them for higher level areas. This entails giving them good battle experiences (and thus, "experience points") and dropping items that will help them in their adventures. Heroes also have a happiness score which is determined by battle satisfaction and fulfilling their wants. (These can include receiving rare loot, not getting hit, activating their limit break, and so on.)

Although monsters can face heroes from different parties and adventures, they are assigned a "main hero party" which they are especially responsible for.

Once Gob has successfully leveled up the required number of heroes, including his assigned hero party, he is then eligible for promotion, which will enable him to work in different areas and environments.

Work-life balance is very important in a random monster career. When Gob isn't busy facing heroes, he spends the rest of his day in town, where he can interact with fellow monsters.
