I enjoy the mindless destruction. I also haven't run into many issues where my game has crashed, but there are a few things that take away from this game. 1. I would like there to be a tracker for unlockables your able to get in the game during runs. It makes it a lot easier during run if I know how close I am to a goal whether for mutations or customizations. 2. I feel like the monsters need a primary attack function. Not just running into people to kill them. Something unique to each monster too. Like the kraken having a primary tentacle swing, or T-83 having a lunge etc. A basic attack you get from the beginning 3. Please for the love of all things when a building is destroyed allow us to move through the wreckage. I don't know how many runs have ended because it seems like I can move through a destroyed building and it just completely stops you like you're running into a wall. The buildings near the gas station should also be destructable when you gain the ability to destroy small buildings. 4. The monsters need a massive speed buff. whether through them gaining stamina and a small sprint, or increasing the percentage for the level upgrade for movement speed. Or just increase the base speed. 5. The monsters have an issue where when you level them up sometimes they completely stop for 4-5 seconds. This has ended so many great runs and really ruins the flow of the game. 6. With ranged abilities it can sometimes be very difficult to properly aim them. This is very apparent with Mech-X mainly on the first and second ability. (Also referring to reason no.2 I feel like the first ability you gain should be an intrinsic primary attack you get from the beginning where it would be a burst and have a cooldown. but the primary for Mech-X could also just be an AOE stomp.) All in all I do think the game is really fun and it is early access so I know a lot of work does need to be done and it takes time. I think the elements listed above would add a lot to the game and make it more enjoyable.

It's in a rough state, but the world needs another Prototype-like game, and this could be it with some more tweaks and QoL. Please don't stop. — Increase our speed. Give us stamina to run, increase walking speed, add a charge mechanic to all monsters—_something_ to make us feel faster. — When we accomplish part of an objective or unlock progress, show us our progress towards that unlock. Let us know that what we just did mattered, and how we can progress while we're playing. Give us a goal in-game. — Give us upgrades sooner. We want to know that we are progressing from the beginning. — Make the SFX and music louder. I maxed out the audio settings, and still had to crank my desktop Klipsch speakers up 100% louder than I ever set them. — Give us more screen shakes and screen dirt. We want to _feel_ like we're destroying a city. — Add the occasional time dilation effect for big hits. Another great way to show that what we're doing is having a big impact. — Add permanent upgrades via a tree of upgrades. We want to feel more and more impactful and powerful with each run, and we are willing to grind for it. — Let us control the camera zoom in the settings. It feels claustrophobic while playing, even on my 34" ultrawide at 3440x1440. Let us zoom out. — Give us a charge ability to plow forward with greater force than normal (for all monsters). I wanted to cover more ground, and that ability would have felt amazing. — Lengthen the shield duration for the first monster. Half a second is not enough time to make it worth my while. — Do whatever it takes to allow us to earn the feeling of being an unkillable kaiju with enough playtime. — Play Prototype. Do what they did, and improve where you can. They nailed it.

This game is exactly what I wanted from it. Mindless carnage. Is it complete ass? Yes! Update: I unlocked a new monster! It is ass, too. Update 2: 3rd monster unlocked. This is too much fun!

Needs a lot of work. its a cool idea but there are monster games 10-20 years older that are better. Maybe not in terms of graphics but functionality. One issue is the game is very repetitive. The hitboxes are off. there's no proper melee attack you just run into things or use the special abelites. If the developer fixes these things and more it has the potential to be a much better game. Some cool things id like too see but aren't mandatory to add over fixing bugs. Wall climbing photo mode more levels More building destruction different endings besides nuclear option
