![]() In the short time of playing the game, we binged this to unlock new skins, but more importantly, to cause absolute mayhem.Īs typical of the genre, destruction is a focal point. GigaBash is a great family game, too, if you don’t mind exposing your kids to comic violence. ![]() Gorogong was a particular highlight as they looked like they were straight from a Toho movie from the 60s, Gigaman, my favourite character, looks like Ultraman, and the beginner-friendly Woolley was very much like Kirby with his sucking power. The character models are brilliant, and though the movesets are oh-so-slightly similar, the design is unique. Presentation-wise, GigaBash is great, aside from a few camera niggles if you head too far off-screen. With that in mind, Passion Republic Games have done an excellent job with their character write-ups and the storylines (beautifully illustrated like comic book panels), you may also be compelled to level up every character. Though I’m a huge fan of Japanese cinema, I’ve never been one for kaiju flicks. Extra skins are unlocked through XP, as well as extra info for your kaiju dossier, should you be interested. Flicking between L1 and R1 will choose a skin, then you can choose one of many dynamic arenas to fight in – some featuring cool weather effects that affect gameplay. There are three modes: free-for-all, two vs two and mayhem (which features minigames), for up to four players locally or online. There are four difficulty modes in the campaign, and it packs a decent challenge (and unlocks loads of extras such as BGM, artwork and the occasional piece of lore), but once you’ve done them all, the real focus is GigaBash’s multiplayer options. Once depleted, three large orbs release into the arena for your opponents to collect and try to do the same S-class damage to you.Īlas, there’s no S-class gauge in GigaBash’s story mode, with the exception of some events, so you have to mix up play with standard attacks, charged attacks, and picking up a building and lobbing it at them. You’ll do more damage, but for a limited time – even more, if you destroy a special move orb. In attacking opponents, destroying buildings or collecting purple orbs or standing on charge areas, you’ll build up a gauge which triggers a gigantic version of you (after pressing L1 and R1). S-class mode sounds pretty badass, and it is. Typically these stages will be about beating another kaiju or giant hero, with numerous challenges and bonuses such as throwing an item in their face, or beating one while they are in S-class mode. You don’t get to play all the characters, just three monsters and a hero robot that resembles Gundam. Upon completion, a new character is available from the selection screen in multiplayer, but also a new story for a further three. Initially, there’ll be only one kaiju to choose from, and you’ll run through a handful of chapters until their narrative path is complete. Let’s jump to the story mode as that’s the quickest one to cover. Also, a review code was supplied before the release date, so it was only fellow reviewers, and we’re ‘busy’ a lot. I tried a few times, but like Elden Ring, no one heard my cries. Just a disclaimer here, I didn’t play any online battles. GigaBash is a no-nonsense brawler, as it should be, offering up a handful of menu selections which can be summarised as a campaign, multiplayer (local or online) and goodies. We all know now what the word of the week is, right? Kaiju. Movesets can be a little limiting, but there’s a Gym mode to practice moves.Optional video filters from the menu (in the style of classic kaiju movies) are actually very good and recommended.Earn player and character XP to unlock character skins, locations, art, BGM and lore. After story completion, there are plenty of extras.Story mode only features four paths, and is relatively brief (but unlocks new characters).Solo players can use bots if they prefer. Online and local play for up to four players.Hell Pie Is A Vulgar Display Of Swinging (It’s Great!)
