How co-op works
Two local players choose different kaiju for a 35-mission campaign and fight on one destructible screen. Each monster brings distinct abilities; partners coordinate Rage moves, Cataclysm Attacks, and finishers while equipping DNA augments separately to cover bosses and enemy crowds.
About this game
Dawn of the Monsters throws you into colossal, city-leveling combat as one of four towering kaiju defending Earth from alien invaders. This side-scrolling beat-em-up fuses manga art with meaty action, letting two players battle together through destructible environments teeming with enemy monsters. The co-op experience keeps both fighters on the same screen as you pummel, grab, and unleash devastating special moves.

Combat feels heavy and deliberate, rewarding timing and environmental destruction. You can pick up debris, slam enemies into skyscrapers, and chain combos that grow in power as you build momentum. Playing alongside a friend transforms every encounter into coordinated chaos, combining finishers and sharing the screen-clearing carnage.
Local couch co-op is the core multiplayer setup, with split-screen and single-screen modes both supported. Steam Remote Play Together extends that partnership online. Expect frantic coordination, tag-team brutality, and sessions built around smashing entire cityscapes together.
