- Moshi Monsters is making a comeback – well, in a way.
- Mind Candy's new Kickstarter campaign might revive this classic MMORPG
- The mobile version promises a stronger narrative while retaining beloved original features
Few franchises stir up nostalgia for British gamers quite like Moshi Monsters. These charmingly odd creatures once dominated TV ads, magazines, and computer screens everywhere. Now original developer Mind Candy may bring them back.
The studio's new Kickstarter aims to modernize the hit Flash MMORPG for today's mobile gaming era. The storyline follows players returning to a devastated Monstro City after a mysterious asteroid impact, tasked with rebuilding their home.
Players will choose from the original six Moshi Monsters and care for virtual pets as before. This story-driven adventure combines new minigames with classic MMORPG elements while reconstructing the legendary Monstro City.
Monstrous!Mobile gaming owes much to Flash platforms. Sites like Newgrounds and Miniclip introduced younger generations to gaming, with many Flash innovations becoming mobile standards today.
Moshi Monsters now serves as a test case for whether nostalgia alone can revive retired franchises, no matter their legacy. Supporters can visit Mind Candy's Kickstarter (closing August 15) to help bring back these iconic creatures.
