#DAWN OF THE MONSTERS GAME UPGRADE#

It’s a shame, because the desire for kaiju-battling games is strong. Worse, just about every one of its three dozen missions feels as same as one another. Rage Attacks are fun when you can implement them, but it’s hard to reach that level when you’re doing everything you can to fend off against multiple enemies. Weak, strong, and dash attacks can be implemented, but I honestly cannot tell the difference between any of them. Melee attacks are easy to initiate in Dawn of the Monsters, but it’s all one can really do here. Unfortunately, going fast isn’t something you’ll be able to do here. While it’s easy to keep your kill combo high with enough enemies on-screen, taking out some of the bigger fish requires plenty of fast movement on your part. Evading attacks and throwing one of your own takes time for it to happen, especially when one can’t judge if you’re in their peripheral due to the 2D aspect of the game. The movement these monsters have is slow and sluggish. Instead, the game softens its chaos with the amount of limitations that makes a good time just a so-so one. Alas, Dawn of the Monsters doesn’t quite deliver a true Godzilla/Pacific Rim experience, despite its decent story and characters. Of course, the key phrase in that last sentence is “should be”. It’s all wraps up nicely in what should be a terrific time creating wanton destruction! These multicolored worlds and creatures bring forth plenty of firepower in these battles, both literally and figuratively. Although you are trying to protect what’s left of the city, having the ability to pull out skyscrapers and use them as weapons is a delight. Said destruction is a blast to watch unfold here, especially in co-op mode. When you witness buildings being knocked down, the 2D world comes to life in a smattering of beautiful chaos. Its comic book-like visuals bring out some terrific details on its monsters and cities.

There’s some good to be found in Dawn of the Monsters. These will aid in bettering your speed, overall power, and even the occasional health boost (something you’ll definitely need later on in the game).

As you work through the levels, you’ll be given the chance to upgrade your monsters will DNA Augments. With enough power, you’ll also be able to unleash Rage Attacks and Cataclysm Attacks that make wiping the map of enemies easier. As you make your way through the four different war zones, you’ll find some interesting folks that are pulling the strings on this whole operation.īattling other monsters takes a more arcade beat-em up route, as you punch and slash your way through the levels. Formerly creatures bent on vaporizing the planet, they are now in control of the organization D.A.W.N., who aim to use them to fight against their own kind. Inspired by classic tokusatsu series, Dawn of the Monsters has you taking control of four massive behemoths. Unfortunately, you can also place 13AM Games and WayForward’s latest Dawn of the Monsters on this list. Yet from the PS3’s Eat Them! to the recent Godzilla title, almost no game has ever captured the fun and excitement of creating chaos all around you. It shouldn’t be rocket science to make a game where you play as a behemoth and wreck everything around you. I don’t know why, but games where you play as monsters destroying cities aren’t executed well. GAME REVIEW | Feeling Massively Sluggish in 'Dawn of the Monsters'
