by Liam Doolan Wed 10th Jul 2019

Canadian developer 13AM Games has announced its third game, Dawn of the Monsters. This title follows on from Double Cross (2019) and Runbow (2015).

It's described as a couch co-op "brawling action" game that takes up to four players on a worldwide tour of destruction. Players select from an all-new cast of kaiju and must work together to defeat the "Nephilim" – a horde of monsters destroying the planet.

There'll be four unique worlds to unlock, The Maw and fully destructible environments. The game features "beautiful" 2.5 graphics and combat inspired by classic action and fighting game genres.

If it's "co-op" why are the only screenshots of monsters fighting each other?

Sounds a lot like Rampage, but if it has a Pacific Rim vibe it could be cool. I haven't' played a good Godzilla game since DAMM on the Gamecube and STE on PS2. Unleashed had a stupid motion mechanic and Destoroyah had a broken spam horn attack. Well I've played War of the Monsters a few times, I have to keep rebuying it for the itch.

I wish them luck.
