What went wrong? And why did it get so much hype?

Sounded good on paper until people realised that the optimal way to play is to hide like a bitch until they reached stage 3

The reason for the hype was mainly due to the devs of L4D being behind the game's creation and the idea of being this big scary monster hunting down people was pretty neato.
This was a time before games like Dead by Daylight came around to so it was a relatively new thing. But then the marketing for some reason try to push it as a new wave of e-sports which was fucking retarded. The fact the game came out as full price with very little content and micro-transactions just being skins for your guns/monsters didn't help.
It's a fucking shame, because I joined in when they made the game f2p but it didn't save it. I liked the character interactions and the monsters, particularly the Gorgon I fucking love her RIP. Now Dead by Daylight holds the asymmetrical crown and nobody has been able to contest it for years despite the game's various shortcomings.

That's literally the fucking point. The entire flow of the game was supposed to be the Hunters trying to kill the monster before it manages to fully evolve, because that's when it could conceivably smash them.
In practice though, Hunters were extremely OP, and it was basically impossible for a monster to beat an organized premade hunter team; but even a half decent monster could EASILY pubstomp random hunters.
Especially with Goliath. God I loved Goliath.

Did they ever make a monster v monster mode?

Ignoring the DLC fiasco, it's extremely difficult to balance asymmetrical games when both sides have the goal of killing each other. Successful asymmetrical games like Dead by Daylight have both sides having different objectives to make balance easier

They turned a fun side min game mode into a full fleshed game.

Same devs as the ones from Left 4 Dead 1/2 while that franchise's success was still fresh in people's minds.
