The plot itself suffers from a serious case of deja vu, since it shares many similarities with monster movies Pacific Rim and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The story in Dawn of the Monsters is a mixed bag. From a space station orbiting Earth, these heroes deploy to several hot spots below in an attempt to remove the Nephilim threat once and for all.

Included among them are superhuman fighter Aegis Prime, who can swell to 55 meters tall Tempest Galahad, a gun-toting mech guided by a human pilot and two deprogrammed first-generation Nephilim named Megadon and Ganira. To guarantee its continued existence, humanity has erected giant reinforced walls and impossibly huge settlements called "megaliths", and authorized the creation of DAWN (Defense Alliance Worldwide Network), an elite group of Nephilim-fighting champions. For 30 years, rampaging kaiju, or, in this game's parlance, Nephilim, have run amok across the world stage. Well, perhaps the crafty developers at 13AM Games asked themselves the same question, since their latest title is Dawn of the Monsters, which pays loving homage to the world of kaiju, mecha, and Japanese tokusatsu in general.ĭawn of the Monsters takes place in the near future, after a global climate catastrophe.

Even without the renaissance of movie monsters, why not make a game starring giant lizards and mechs running roughshod across the world's metropolises? It's the ultimate power fantasy in a medium known for its power fantasies. With Legendary's "MonsterVerse" in full swing, you'd think more studios would take advantage of the re-emergence of cinematic giants like Godzilla and King Kong. It's strange that there aren't more kaiju, or giant monster, video games out there. By Evan Norris, posted on 25 March 2022 / 1,805 Views
