I'm surprised this game hasn't had a thread made by now, but with GigaBash and Dawn of the Monsters, I'd say it's a great time for kaiju video games.
Here's a full panel from Kaiju Con-Line on the game:

Here is high quality version of the gameplay clip:

The game will be released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch!
1-4 players local co-op with no current announcement for online play. 4 playable kaiju at launch with 75 levels across 5 environments.
Imo, this looks amazing. The combo system has me hyped as a fighting game fan, and visually I'm into it. Definitely some KotM2 vibes as it's a kaiju beat-em-up, but it has its own identity.
What do you all think?

Re: Dawn of the Monsters
While I'm much more excited for GigaBash, Dawn of the Monsters looks very good and I'm excited to know that Tohl Narita (creature designer for War of the Gargantuas and the first three Ultraman shows) was a major influece for the designs of the Nephilim.

I'm in the same boat with excitement, but I'm definitely very hyped for both & so glad we're getting some amazing looking kaiju games next year.Cryptid_Liker wrote:While I'm much more excited for GigaBash, Dawn of the Monsters looks very good and I'm excited to know that Tohl Narita (creature designer for War of the Gargantuas and the first three Ultraman shows) was a major influece for the designs of the Nephilim.
Yeah the game is very inspired but has a distinct art style, the red background theme sorta reminds me of the Godzilla Unleashed box haha.
Hopefully kaiju games get the love they deserve!

Re: Dawn of the Monsters
I'm loving the designs of the Super Heavy and the Light Nephilims. That bull-horned one looks like Gorogong, now that I think about it.
Added in 30 days 15 hours 42 minutes 7 seconds:
I used to think that Ganira's body shape hindered her design and was a copy-paste of Megadon. However, looking at this art changed my mind. I'm still not a fan of how "tank-y" she looks but at least, I can stand it now.

Re: Dawn of the Monsters
I legitimately thought this was a prequel to War of the Monsters for a second

Re: Dawn of the Monsters
Just bought and played the game since yesterday. It's a fun brawler and has nice visuals. The combos are good, I love the executions aspect of regaining health, and I love that the characters are distinct gameplay wise. Cons are that it's a bit clunky and the dodge and parry are hard to make use of.
I give it a 7 out of a ten for a $30 game.

GVK: TNE is a modern day 70s Showa Godzilla movie. Being a massive budget modern blockbuster CGI film instead of traditional 70s tokusatsu techniques doesn't change that.
Monsterverse is not similar to either MCU nor Bayformers just because all three are big budget CGI blockbuster franchises.

Re: Dawn of the Monsters
Recently 100%ed the game, I was surprised with how fun it was and while the story you play was kinda meh, the actual lore of the universe had me reading all the in game unlockables. The Ultraman knock off was probably the best character in the game.
