Reception

VideoGamer.com thought the title was "brilliant", though they felt it could use more variation in its gameplay. GamesMaster called it "cel-shaded 3D take on arcade classic Rampage". GamesRadar+ thought the game was "fresh, fun, and satisfying". felt that "repetitive objectives and frustrating difficulty spikes mean this monster meal is more junk food than solid nutrition." GameZone was disappointed by the game's multiplayer and health system, but appreciated the attention to detail by the developers. 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. GameSpot felt that the stagnancy of the objectives and difficulty held the game back. 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. Edge felt that the U.S. import's core idea was sound, and that "when it works it's undeniable fun".
