Early Access Review
Already have every achievement, despite my playtime. Not really a game yet, just a tech demo/screenshot booth.

You can use the free camera in some fun ways for sure and get some wicked screenshots that make people like me want to play the game.

The game itself is just 3 sandbox maps with 2.5 playable characters. You have to spawn enemies yourself, with a menu and there are no objectives of any kind, just a highscore. It seems the only way to save your 'highscore' is to spawn enemies until you die. If you quit to the main menu it doesn't save your score.

If there was a game to play here, I would probably like it. As it stands I feel I was ripped off by the crossover skins and screenshots.

Why are they doing crossover skins when there is literally no game here? If you come from Terror of Hemasaurus or Dawn of the Monsters to this, it will just feel like you are playing an unfinished tech demo in comparison. I don't see why any fans of those properties would buy this for the game that it is in its current state. You are literally asking fans of other games that you had nothing to do with to support your early early early access tech demo.

The store page here even says, "You can easily sink many hours into the game as it is." but even if you are spending time lining up tons of perfect screenshots, this game doesn't even come close to 'many hours'. It's frankly absurd to me, both the price and what is available for playing when there is not one but two crossover skins. You can't even spawn an enemy Excidio, only Raijin or Stone Titan/golem and only the Stone guys can be respawned on the same map after you beat them. If you play as Raijin nothing changes and you are forced to fight yourself or the frankly pathetic Stone Titan/golems. (If you play as the Stone Titan, you realise why he is so pathetic. . . he can only roar and basic attack.)

In conclusion the only reason I could even think of buying this game is if you think these Canadian developers who have no other games except for the even earlier version of this game on itch, are worth of your money and support. Unless something massive changes with what is on offer here, this should cost $5 not $16.99.

Hi there! First of all thank you for the feedback, I see you found a few bugs here and we will address them in an upcoming patch. Some of the features you requested are planned for upcoming updates, like being able to fight Excidio and making Stone Titan more of a proper playable character, so I do hope you will check back in on us once the game comes out of early access. As for other modes that is uncertain, I know it would bring a lot of value to the game but they would take a lot of work to add. But we will keep it on our radar! Again thank you for the feedback!
