There aren't a lot of western developed games out there that manage to scratch that Tokusatsu itch. This is definitely one of the few that succeeds and then some! A 2D brawler with some depth wrapped up in gorgeous art/animation with a delicious color palette and a theme I personally love. You also get to trash Toronto, so that's an added bonus.
So if you enjoy non-basic 2D beat'em ups, vintage tokusatsu and 70's/80's super robot mecha anime, then you owe it to yourself to grab this along with it's DLC.
The only negative I can think of is the rather dull soundtrack.

This game is what I would label "Simple but effective" and boy is it effective in my opinion. DOTM is a perfect small compact game for any Kaiju fans that want something with a simple formula but attention to details. The playable monsters are perfect with their unique yet simplistic designs that really give off a Showa era feeling for kaiju media. The combat is very fun too with heavy moves that feel heavy and destructive. Megadon was the obvious choice for me as I am a mega Godzilla fan, and I can feel the love with Megadon being this games take on the "Godzilla". Its just a nice sweet little present that will take a few hours of your time for a fun little story with beat-em-up mechanics.
Dont worry too much about the gameplay, because if you are a mega Kaiju fan like me, you will enjoy this game no matter what. Highly praise this and look forward to anything further with this world.
