Dawn of the monsters game1/3/2023 ![]() ![]() Enemies will telegraph attacks, and some can't be blocked, so perfect dodges are your only option there. However, all the Augments in the world aren’t going to help much if your defensive game is weak, so I encourage you to try and perfect it. You can sell unused Augments or "reroll" the ones you earn to try and get fresh sets. There are a lot of Augments to mess with, and you’re encouraged to replay stages to get a better grade, which may result in a better choice of Augments. They usually result in a slight remixing of your monster’s stats as well as an added effect, like increasing your monster’s speed for a few seconds after a heavy attack or allowing executions (see below) to fill up your Cataclysm meter. Just because it’s a convenient analogy, I’d compare them to the various Coils & Weaves in Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West. Each monster can use three Augments at a time, and each Augment has multiple tiers of power. In fact, I found all these defensive maneuvers hard to wrap my head around I’m just not used to thinking about blocking or dashing in the context of a brawler, but it’s absolutely imperative that you learn this stuff because starting around the third level, the difficulty steps up considerably.Ĭompleting a stage will reward you with DNA Augments, which are essentially equipment that modify your monsters' stats. ![]() Perfect dashes will negate damage entirely but I found them difficult to rely on when facing an onslaught of angry monsters. You can block, parry (by blocking just as a hit lands), or perform a short-range dash. Unlike Streets of Rage, though, DOTM offers some defensive capabilities as well. RAGE attacks have a variety of effects both offensive and defensive, and thus giving an air of strategy to the gameplay. You’ll want to save the latter for boss fights or to keep yourself from being completely mobbed by enemies. In addition to walloping monsters with office buildings (always supremely satisfying), the DAWNsters can unleash a variety of light and heavy attacks, a charging attack, and super moves-RAGE attack energy builds up over time, and unleashing them slowly fills up a secondary bar for your Cataclysm attack-an ultra technique that tends to occupy most of the screen. Each level, which is made up of several stages, takes place in a certain geographic area (like Canada or Egypt), with your ultimate goal being to destroy the Nephilim “nest” and guardian boss. You’ll choose a character for each mission and then take them to pound town, stomping through cities and smashing in kaiju skulls. The game plays like an atypical brawler-think Streets of Rage- where discarded monster heads and buildings are your pickup weapons. In each mission, you’ll uncover new Nephilim and learn more about their rise to power, as well as the structure of DAWN itself. On the story side of things, DOTM takes place a few decades in the future where rampant climate change has awoken giant kaiju called “Nephilim.” Humanity creates the Defense Alliance Worldwide Network (“DAWN”) to combat the threat using two controllable Nephilim, Megadon and Ganira, and two humans- Ultraman-like hero Eiji Murasme, who can transform into the giant warrior Aegis Prime, and Jamila Senai, who pilots the colossal mech Tempest Galahad. ![]()
