Godbeast Mk.II

If games were deemed good or bad simply based on if its literally the coolest ♥♥♥♥ ever, then Godbeast Mk. II : Howl in the Moonlight is one of the greats. Unfortunately there's more to a game than aurafarming, and The Godbeast 2 is not one of the greats. I'd still recommend it to anyone since it's cheap and there's decent playtime to get out of it, but there is quite a bit of jank and the opening levels are pretty dry, just punch the guys until they die for a good couple hours. It only really starts to catch the player after you beat the first area and the story begins to unfold. The game keeps a 360/ps3 era hack n slash formula throughout, but has some fun little abilities and mechanics to discover. Some of the bosses have fun attack patterns, and the game is in that goldilocks zone of just punishing enough where it can really throw some curveballs at you to keep you on your toes in a fight without boiling down to being unscripted QTE's. The art direction of the game is the star of course, every battle is framed from dramatic angles and the game leans into a fixed camera perspective, yet never commits to a degree where angles would interrupt the flow of movement. There's a lot of…

I do feel that the charm of the first game is lost with the removal of the open world. As it stands, I thought the game was... [i]all right.[/i] Stylish, but clearly janky, and not terribly interesting in any regard. Still, I'd recommend giving it a shot if it looks neat :)

Pretty good action beat'em up gameplay, there's definitely a learning curve when it comes to movement and patterns while also keeping simple controls. Cool atmosphere too and definitely very Suda-inspired 👍

cool art style, cool vibes, i like that i hit a car in the first level and permanently turned on big head mode

Fun game, slightly difficult but greatly reminds me of XIII with the art style! Check out full review here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jOKL0pGK-M
