How it feels

You control giant monsters in a cartoonish, brawling rampage through destructible cities, smashing everything with gleeful abandon.

What players say

Players praise this as a rare kaiju beat 'em up that captures the feel of controlling a giant monster, with slow, weighty movement and no jump button. Fans of the genre love the art and references, but many note the combat gets repetitive, the soundtrack is dull, and the content feels limited, especially with DLC sold separately.
