Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher is a simulation/strategy game where you engage in raising and training giant monsters. Some of the monster designs hearken back to the early ’70s shows like Ultraman and Space Giants, shows that I grew up with as a kid. The game also features tournaments where you can do battle with other kaiju, and there is an online option to battle other players.
PROS
- nice variety of kaiju to train
- Training has plenty of options, including participating in tournaments
- battles are fun to engage in
- good graphics and sound
CONS
- Can get repetitive
- Occasional lag in controls
- No real story
Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher is a fun open-ended game where you can collect and train multiple types of giant monsters. Tournaments help level your kaiju up, and you can even have another trainer teach your kaiju new skills. It can get a little repetitive, but it’s an easy game to jump in and out of. If you’re a fan of the previous Monster Rancher games and you enjoy kaiju movies, this is an easy purchase.
