PixelJunk Monsters Demo

Here is PixelJunk Monsters from the Japan PSN Store. Hopefully you already have a Japan PSN account, if not follow this guide. We're guessing that it will be released in North America this week.




The object of the game, similar to other Tower Defense games, protect your citizens. You set up offensive towers (Canon, Arrow, Ground to Air, and Fire Towers in the demo) in order to kill the monsters before they get to your base and kill your citizens. You collect coins, in order to build towers, and gems, in order to research new towers.

Here's our old post with a Tower Defense game. As you can see PixelJunk has added minor differences that makes it feel like a new game. They also chose a great soundtrack.

  • New female characters?
  • Worldwide ranking or organized online tournaments?
  • Chun Li's thigh's unknown.

Here are 5 videos including the Hadouken and the Dragon Punch.
