Gameplay has received mixed reviews, with players noting significant bugs and awkward hit detection as major issues. While the combat mechanics and animations show promise, many key features are still under development, leading to a need for polish and balance patches. Despite these flaws, players express enjoyment and appreciation for the nostalgic elements reminiscent of previous monster fighting games.
“The gameplay around this, as mentioned previously, may cause some situations to look odd, but the animations and concepts for the attacks aren't to blame at all, and deserve some praise.”
“I think gameplay should be a priority and it needs some fixes, but I'm definitely still spending plenty of time playing the game and enjoying it.”
“It's nice to be larger-than-life monsters again; if you liked the old Godzilla games, this shares a lot of the same mechanics, and all the workshop skins are nice too.”
“Gameplay: 1/10”
“Gameplay-wise, cases of awkward hit detection (missing an enemy with an attack you thought should have hit them) are probably the biggest downfalls.”
“Some key features have yet to be fully implemented, and the gameplay mechanics have pretty significant flaws.”
