So, this is available on Steam now, as a full release not. Not EA.
Signs are pointing to it being a rush job. There's 1 Kaiju to play with now, the other two coming as DLC. Just going on the negative reviews (which there are few of but they're decently high detail) so far, it's got its fair amount of bugs and handles pretty clunky. There's apparently long times to build stuff, travel to cities with your monster, I saw images of a Kaiju razing a park in a city to build something....not quite sure where this game headed but it seems short of what was hoped for. Someone said it feels like a tablet/FB game with the obligatory time wasters, and it looks true from the videos. Whatever was supposed to be XCOM-y about this doesn't seem to have made it due to time constraints/budget/what have you. Seems like you were intended to juggle multiple monsters and fights and yadda yadda, but with 1 monster it's not a lot to juggle and do, just wait for timers to count down.
For me though, it's the graphics. Even accepting the art, there's something subtly...fake looking about the game. Effects don't match the art style in many places, looking kinda copy/pasted in there. Even the environmental and city art, which should be the most consistent, looks like it was made by different people. Here you have razor sharp, clean lined-looking cell shaded stuff. Here, you have a blurry pixelated mess. Same story for the choppers and tanks and what not. The game varies wildly in terms of what things look like, how some parts look crisp and stylized, while others look like a blown up sprite. The Kaiju being made of several sprites looks jiggly, almost like it's for intentional comedic effect.
I was kinda excited to pick this up when it came out, but even releasing with a 10% discount and coming in just over $10...it's already scared me away by looking at it.
Anyone that backed this wanna chip in their review? Apparently the devs have stuff and reasons and things they've communicated.
