    Game 236: Dawn of the Monsters Beat 'em ups are awesome. Kaijus are awesome. So, guess what my opinion is on a Kaiju beat 'em up? With slower but super impactful combat, stylish graphics and a very engaging combo system, this is one of the finest, most unique modern takes on the genre.

    244) Dawn of the Monsters I’ve heard about this game for a while now so I decided to finally try it. This ended up being a really cool beat’em up with its concept of controlling giant Kaijus. The game does start to get pretty tough near the end though. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

    I need to buy the Gamera DLC they released. Giga Bash fucking rules. Awesome, ass-kicking kaiju action. Dawn of the Monsters is another really good one. That game also has an Ultraman in the form of Aegis Prime.

    People ask me "Alex, as a game developer what is one of your proudest achievements?" And working with a ramen chain to make a dish based off of the lead character in Dawn of the Monsters is up there. Like, way up there.

    Dawn of the Monsters is a great spin on the classic beat ‘em up sidescroller formula, but I can’t abide a game that asks me to save Toronto.

    Side note, your style makes me think a bit of Dawn of the Monsters--it could have something like that jagged look. That and the pure blacks and all, really reminds me of that game.

    Dawn of the Monsters. Didn’t think I’d have a Platinum this early in the new year, but here we are. The game is pretty good, slightly repetitive. Augment system was strange. Could have been like half the length and still worked well.

    Oh, and when I did get that collector's edition for Dawn of the Monsters? I had long since lost interest in the game and to this day I haven't even taken it out of its packaging.

    Welp, Dawn of the Monsters has been quit now. It got to the point where it just did not feel like a well-balanced game, one that was hard for all the wrong reasons. I'm willing to concede that I may just suck at it, but I just find it too annoying to stick with now.
