Play Master of Monsters Online
Pick a wizard, summon monsters, and fight for towers on hex maps—terrain matters, so your flying dragons and swamp-loving lizards actually feel different. One wrong move and you’re stuck summoning skeletons while the enemy overruns you.

Master of Monsters came out for the Sega Genesis in 1991, developed by SystemSoft and published by Hudson Soft. It was part of that wave of early 90s strategy games that felt like a natural fit for home consoles, offering a deeper, turn based alternative to the action heavy titles dominating the shelves at the time.
You control a wizard vying for control of a fantasy realm, summoning various monsters from different elemental schools to capture towers and eliminate rival sorcerers. The core gameplay involves moving your units across hex based maps, with terrain types directly impacting each monster's movement and combat effectiveness. Capturing towers is essential, as it increases your mana pool for summoning more powerful creatures. The pacing is deliberate and the difficulty is steep; a single misstep in unit placement or a poor summoning choice can lead to a swift defeat. It feels like a tense game of magical chess where every decision carries weight.
