[[caption-width-right:350:Fighting the undead has never been so much fun...and dangerous.]]

''Goonya Monster'' is a 3D party game by MUTAN Inc., the creators of ''VideoGame/GoonyaFighter'', in which a team of three Busters must collect seven Souls to win... But beware! A Monster will be pitted against them to prevent them from doing so with a wide range of powers at their disposal, and they will win if all Busters are defeated or the three-minute timer runs out.

The story mode focuses on four humans, Octo, Toad, Snail, and Pirarucu as they take up the role of Busters along with the half-cat, half-Monster Goonyan.

It is available on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}, UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, UsefulNotes/Playstation5, and UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows.

* KindheartedCatLover: Octo. His encounter with Goonyan is enough reason for him to immediately accept becoming a Buster.
