PlayStation Vita is a great device for a card-battling game like Monster Monpiece. The handheld's pick-up-and-play nature means that you can easily progress a fight at a time in Monster Monpiece, and its touch screen makes for intuitive and tactile interfacing when customizing your deck or facing down a digital foe. Unfortunately, Monster Monpiece falls far short of taking advantage of its own inherent potential -- and that of its native hardware -- leaving Uncharted: Fight For Fortune as the uncontested king of Vita card battlers (not that that's saying much).
I tip my hat to publisher Idea Factory for keeping the Japanese voice acting intact, but developer Compile Heart hasn't exactly been known for its great storytelling, and Monster Monpiece isn't about to break the trend. Its plot is about as nonsensical as they come, even by the distressingly low bar set by many of its niche peers. You take on the role of a young girl named May and her "Monster Girl" companion Fia, and pretty much from the beginning, its story does nothing but stand in the way of actually playing the game. Dialogue is boring and often drones on and on, characters are totally uninteresting and all-too-often indistinguishable from one another, and environments in which these interactions take place are pretty much all the same.
