Monster Monpiece will also have a separate rating for the US and EU. That said, each card that has had its image removed will still have the same number of levels for the player to increase, but the higher level card images will be the same as the lower level, even though they have leveled up and have become more powerful." However, the statement says that this will not effect the length of the game, or any of the game's systems and features.
This means that over 300 cards are left untouched from the original images.
"The number of censored cards is about 40 out of the approximately 350 card images available in the game. Monster Monpiece allows players to power up their cards by getting the girls (in card form) to "expose themselves (take off their clothes) via the level-up features called First Crush Rub and Extreme Love." This specifically involves vigorously rubbing both sides of the Vita (see image below). According the the statement, Both the Japanese and Western versions of the game contain the same total number of cards, but some of the high-level cards were replaced with “less exposed” lower-level versions of the game's Monster Girls due to some "intense sexual imagery." Personally while I don’t agree with censorship such as this, I do believe that this was a wise choice for Idea Factory International to make as not only is this the company’s first release in the West, but it also gives gamers a chance to actually play the title while understanding what is happening with only a few drawbacks as opposed to not receiving an English version at all.Idea Factory, the company behind an upcoming card battle game Monster Monpiece sent out a statement today explaining their decision to censor parts of the game for its Western release. We sincerely apologize for those who do not agree with any level of censorship, but we greatly appreciate your understanding with the decision we have made. The borderline of what is “acceptable” will always be extremely gray and vary from person to person, but as a responsible company working in the U.S., we had to make the difficult decision that we did. However, Western society is not as lenient as that of Japan when sexual images are involved-especially images of humanoids that appear to be younger than a socially acceptable age. This was a very difficult decision since we work very hard to satisfy our fans and want to bring the same content being offered in Japan. We would like to emphasize that the game’s playtime, the game’s system, and the game’s features are all the same as the original Japanese release, and players can level up their Monster Girls to the highest levels as well, again, matching the Japanese release. That said, each card that has had its image removed will still have the same number of levels for the player to increase, but the higher level card images will be the same as the lower level, even though they have leveled up and have become more powerful. The number of censored cards is about 40 out of the approximately 350 card images available in the game. We kept the same number of cards in the game as the original Japanese version, but replaced some of the higher level Monster Girl images with the “less exposed” lower level versions of the corresponding Monster Girls due to some intense sexual imagery. These cards-meaning the “Monster Girls”-are able to be powered up by exposing themselves (taking off their clothes) via the level-up features called First Crush Rub and Extreme Love. Monster Monpiece is a card battle game, in which players summon various “Monster Girls” onto the game’s battlefields and then fight their opponents. Idea Factory International is fully aware of the concerns expressed by fans, so we would like to inform everyone about the censored images in greater detail.
