If you are tired of predictable shooters and want to smash a city to absolute pieces, Dawn of the Monsters is exactly what you need. As far as modern PC games go, it is hard to find something that captures the pure, chaotic fun of classic kaiju movies quite like this. Whether you are taking a break from the daily grind or just looking for a stress-relieving brawler to add to your library, this co-op beat-'em-up delivers massive scale and destruction right to your desktop. It is big, loud, and incredibly satisfying.
Storyline
The plot drops you into a futuristic world completely overrun by terrifying, world-ending beasts known as the Nephilim. To fight back, a global defense network called DAWN unleashes their own giant monsters and towering mechs to level the playing field. You are essentially playing through a beautiful, interactive comic book. It gives you exactly enough awesome lore and Saturday-morning cartoon vibes to make you genuinely excited to step into the shoes of a giant radioactive dinosaur or a sleek, heavily armed robot to save the planet.
Gaming experience
When it comes to the gaming experience, this title absolutely nails the heavy, earth-shaking feel of giant monster combat. Unlike some action PC games where you just button-mash to win, here you actually have to manage your spacing, parries, and brutal execution moves. Every punch feels like it carries thousands of tons of weight behind it. You can even customize your kaiju with different DNA augments to fit your exact playstyle. Grab a friend for the local co-op, and you will easily lose hours just completely wrecking cityscapes together.
