Kodansha Creators Lab's Looter-Strategy Game MissMon Launches on Steam
Kodansha Creators Lab released MissMon, a looter-strategy game for PC via Steam, on September 8, 2026. The game, developed solo by Mach Habanero, tasks players with forming parties of five mythic monsters, called MissMon, to defeat the Demon King. Battles are automatic, and success hinges on pre-battle decisions about equipment and formation placement. There are 30 types of MissMon, each with a role such as tank, attacker, healer, buffer, or debuffer, and monsters can learn new abilities at certain levels, allowing for varied builds of the same type. The game features four weapon types (sword, shield, staff, great sword), nine attributes like fire and lightning, and over 140 equipment items with random skills and options. Equipment affects stats and attributes can trigger status ailments that, if chained, may wipe out enemies. A unique mechanic involves the 'struggle for equipment,' where winning battles lets players take enemy weapons, while losing risks their own weapons being taken by the Demon King's army. After defeating the final boss, endgame content unlocks with progressively stronger enemies and powerful weapons obtainable only post-story. MissMon is priced at 980 yen, with a 10% launch discount to 882 yen until September 21.
