Which side do you play in Monsters.io?
Either side works in Monsters.io. You can try to survive in a world of horrible monsters, or become one of them and start hunting instead. Both are presented as legitimate ways to play rather than a progression from one to the other.
Do the sides play differently in Monsters.io?
Yes — each side in Monsters.io has its own abilities and power. That asymmetry is the point of the choice, since surviving and hunting demand very different things from you even when both are happening on the same map.
What does Monsters.io recommend players do?
Monsters.io recommends trying everyone. Because the sides carry distinct abilities and power, working through them rather than settling on one is also the fastest way to learn exactly what you are up against in the arena.
