Description
Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy is 16-bit styled RPG featuring turn-based combat, plenty of exploration, and a funky soundtrack to pump you up. This is an officially licensed game based on the live-action monster wrestling group Kaiju Big Battel, who have been performing their Godzilla-meets-WWE act for over 20 years.
Designed for Kaiju fans and newcomers alike, Fighto Fantasy takes players on a quest across time and space as they work to undo damage caused by the evil Dr. Cube as he rampages through history in search of fame and glory. With seven main playable heroes (and a secret one to unlock), players explore six time periods and punch out dozens of deadly monsters.
All the world is watching as the Kaiju Big Battel Title Fight is about to begin: The diabolical Dr. Cube vs. the patriotic pugilist, American Beetle! Things take a sudden turn when Cube pulls out a secret weapon that rips open portals into history. Now it's up to the Kaiju Heroes to pursue Cube across the centuries, from Egypt to Rome to Russia and beyond! Is the mad doctor pursuing dangerous artifacts lost to time, or does he just want to deface famous landmarks with his own ugly mug?
⚫ Combat: No random encounters here; touch enemy NPCs on the map to trigger turn-based battles. Each of the seven main heroes has their own strengths and weaknesses.
⚫ Side stories: When you're not chasing Dr. Cube through time, take a minute to help out some locals. Slay a musclebound mummy, rescue lost Kaiju heroes, adopt cats!
⚫ Map abilities: Each hero has a unique ability to interact with environmental objects, unlocking hidden paths and secret treasures.
⚫ Difficulty selection: Easy Mode for a relaxed experience, Normal Mode for players who want some tense fights, and Hard Mode for players looking for more deadly dangers.
⚫ 12+ hours of RPG adventure.
⚫ Future expansions will be released as free updates; no paid DLC here!

User Reviews
It's a cool, funny game. Earthbound with Metal Max like enemy artwork.
"Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy" is a nice 16-bit JRPG and the video game adaptation of a niche Kaiju-Monster wrestling troupe (which I never thought existed). You play the titular and quirky Kaiju heroes with their stereotypical but well meaning demeanour fighting against the evil Dr. Cube in space-time distorting proportions. The presentation, worldbuilding and spritework is crisp, the narration is lighthearted and comedic (sometimes hit or miss based on your preferences, but I had a good time with it: it is a silly, but earnest epic), the OST is funky and the combat definetly does not reinvent the wheel, but it gets the job done.
Also there are no random encounters and you don't have to grind even on the hardest difficulty, which are great plus points! Combine that with the runtime of a little more than 10 hours and you got yourself a dense package.
I also really liked the RPG arcade-cabinet at the end of the game, it was hilariously cursed!
Quite an unorthodox and also classic title for all the nostalgic RPG-fans (and niche wrestling enthusiats) around!
Give it a try!
If you're in the mood for a retro RPG you can't go wrong with this. Non wrestling fans need not be wary. It is not required that you be a wrestling fan in order to enjoy this.
The dialogue keeps surprising me, it's well written funny banter. Combat is fine. I'm really enjoying this experience and I can't wait to check out their next show.
A very fun game
