Kaiju fighting games are seeing a resurgence, and that’s great. PS2 efforts like War of the Monsters set the scene, and through recent efforts like Override: Mech City Brawl, the legacy has been kept alive. increase. With no secret of its inspiration, here comes Passion Republic Games’ GigaBash. This is a colorful new Kaiju Brawler. There isn’t much for solo players here, but GigaBash is a great way to have a good time with friends.
It offers 10 characters (including, amazingly, a living building called Kongkrete) and is a deathmatch within a destructible 3D arena. Each Titan’s pack’s light and heavy attacks can throw enemies and objects, as well as dodge attacks by blocking and dashing. Over time, your Giga Energy Meter charges up, transforming you into an S-Class Titan that deals increased damage when active. As standard as it gets, GigaBash keeps the fights interesting with its inventive arena design.
If you choose to play solo, GigaBash has four different story campaigns, each based on a specific Titan. There are five stages each, and most of the missions consist of fighting other Titans and watching cutscenes. Other challenges may occur, such as destroying barriers or collecting creatures, but they are few and far between. Lacking variety, these campaigns also don’t last particularly long. Got my credit within 2 hours.
Multiplayer is definitely the main draw of this game. Supports up to 4 players and enjoys open-ended 2v2 team battles. Meanwhile, Mayhem Mode, which unfortunately isn’t available online, introduces mini-games including classics like The Floor is Lava and boss fights. Our personal favorite is Rampage. This is a race where players destroy as many buildings as possible to score points, but there are plenty of other options. This adds the versatility you need, and if you can gather the other three players of his, I’d recommend GigaBash.
