KING OF THE MONSTERS

This game is a really bad port. I have read for some it runs to slow, for me it ran way to fast. Also no controller support and the keyboard setup is horrible and unchangeable. Play it on Mame instead.

NOT RECOMMENDED. Low content and very bad controls. Generally, a gimmick game that is nothing without its "Gojira and Friends" theme. You will have a much better time with the arcade game Rampage (free multiplayer-enabled Flash versions exist) that is vastly better in most aspects and also fun to play. The game: -from 1991 -features serious arcade unfairness (incl. sequences where the CPU effortlessly dunks you, no matter how much you try to resist or manipulate RNG) -input drops (how the hell can you drop a basic two-button move) -stiff control scheme in general -in a grappling-heavy game damage-wise, the later opponents over-power and reverse about 90 % of your throwing attempts, leaving you with the low-damage dive move (as the other ones get countered almost always) -the 12-stage arcade playthrough is a padded w/ repeat monsters, destroying the point of "winning" them the first time around -the moves are extremely simple: punch, kick, a bunch of different throwing moves, a special dive move and a ranged move (that is so slow to charge up for, easy to avoid and extremely punishing when missed), that's all, don't expect much technical variation as throws do most damage As with the 25th SNK Anniversary DotEmu releases, the neogeo and game roms are included. Though as the game can pass 1996 game quality standards and has terrible controls, IT IS NOT WORTH IT. King of Monsters is one of the worst monster mash games I know of. If you really want an interesting one for PC, look up: I Was An Atomic Mutant . Even the demo of that game is more fun that this one that was none.

No controller support, bad emulator. The game itself isn't very good either.

I grew up with King of the Monsters on Sega Genesis. When I found out GOG had it I knew I had to get it. Several years ago I had War of the Monsters on PlayStation 2. Hard to believe SNK did that concept first with a short lived series. This sorta plays like a wrestling game in a city. You can destroy buildings and throw vehicles at other monsters. My controller works perfectly in this game. King of the Monsters stands out in more ways than one. Trust me this game has a way of getting that fire out of you.

BUYER BEWARE. This port is completely broken. Gamepad controls don't work and keyboard controls don't work. The only way the game started was because it has a timer. The game crashed as soon as it started.
