Reception

Ronald Pehr reviewed Monsters! Monsters! in The Space Gamer No. 34.[4] Pehr commented that "Monsters! Monsters! is a good game for beginners, or anyone who wants to be a troll, but experienced gamers who enjoy complex campaign games offering more than bloodlust won't find anything they want here."[4]

John ONeill of Black Gate commented that "The game is well written, with plenty of delightful Liz Danforth art, and my games library is no longer missing an important piece of gaming history."[5]
