Reception

edit

The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[3]

VideoGamer.com thought the title was "brilliant", though they felt it could use more variation in its gameplay.[12] GamesMaster called it "cel-shaded 3D take on arcade classic Rampage".[6] GamesRadar+ thought the game was "fresh, fun, and satisfying".[8] PlayStation: The Official Magazine felt that "repetitive objectives and frustrating difficulty spikes mean this monster meal is more junk food than solid nutrition."[10] GameZone was disappointed by the game's multiplayer and health system, but appreciated the attention to detail by the developers.[9] IGN thought the game had a "cool" idea, but that it was let down by its repetitive "smash stuff" game mechanics.[1] Eurogamer thought the U.S. import's visual style was reminiscent of beautiful comic books.[5] GameSpot felt that the stagnancy of the objectives and difficulty held the game back.[7] Push Square, however, felt that the game's weak mission design, cumbersome controls and repetitive nature restrict it from being a long-standing source of entertainment.[11] Edge felt that the U.S. import's core idea was sound, and that "when it works it's undeniable fun".[4]
