Blocking at the right time will lead to a parry of your opponent’s attack. For once, as I mentioned before, you can block. Other than straight fighting, there are side options to keep in mind. This is, again, different for each fighter and can be utilized for tough moments when you are surrounded or to simply help take out the bigger, tougher enemies. This is your Cataclysmic bar and once it is full you will be able to do a super attack. For Megadon, I could use one rage bar to make my character go into Rage mode, increasing his attack temporarily, or utilize two actual attacks costing two bars each explosion and fire breath.Īlong with the rage meter, you will find a purple bar that can be increased near your health bar. While holding block, you will see three special attack options to choose from and the number of rage bars each move costs. These bars are your rage meters and they are used to perform special skill attacks. Right below your health bar, you will see a row of short bars that can be filled up. Utilizing executions and their timing will literally save your life. This will instantly kill that enemy, make you invulnerable during the action, and provide a little bit of health back to you. But once you line up with an enemy and get their health low enough, an icon will pop up over them to complete an execution. You basically are able to move through a full 2.5D walkway through each level and enemies can fill up this space. Just don’t forget to try out their special attacks while testing them.īefore worrying too much about the character choice, make sure you get a feel for the movement style for the game and executions. I, personally, ended up using Megadon, but to each their own here. It is best to spend the first few levels trying out the different characters if you aren’t sure which one you would like to use. Each one is a bit different in their fighting style, speed, and skills. In this game, you have four fighters to choose from. The good news here is that given this game is a beat ‘em up, having a simplistic story can be considered part of the genre. So, points for the turnaround near the end, but everything leading up to it could be guessed if you know anything about stories with a space-based setup. However, there was a twist at the section of the game that I thought was the end that was actually unexpected. There is a lot of work to be done and even more ass to kick, so get ready to be sent down to Earth from the home base in space in order to complete missions and save humanity!Īll-in-all, the plot itself was a bit simplistic and overdone. Somehow in control of two Nephilim themselves and in possession of two ass-kicking fighting machines known as ATOM’s, they set out to destroy the Kaiju nests and hierarchy. The world is overrun with Kaiju known as Nephilim and it is up to a special unit known as DAWN to take mankind’s last stand. While it wasn’t flawless, it provided a very entertaining experience. As a huge fan of the beat ‘em up genre and after playing through the game myself, I have to say that I am impressed with how this title turned out. Their latest title, Dawn of the Monsters, puts players in an apocalyptic world where Kaiju have invaded and mankind must make their last stand. Taking the classic beat ‘em up genre to a new view is developer 13AM Games and publisher WayForward.
