“Because devs promise me music will be updated very soon.”

The gameplay is generally fast-paced and enjoyable, particularly in the shooter genre, with solid mechanics that become more challenging as players progress. However, there is a noted lack of initial explanation for these mechanics, which may hinder new players, though they can quickly adapt in single-player mode. Overall, titles like Super Kaiju showcase polished gameplay and consistent updates, indicating strong potential.
“Super Kaiju is definitely worth a look as it's already very polished with solid gameplay and consistent updates.”
“Fast and fun gameplay is a shooter.”
“Because gameplay has potential, it is quite cool.”
“It suffers from a lack of explanation as to these mechanics, but you'll learn fast playing in single player.”
