  Overall, Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher is a game that genuinely took me by surprise. Who knew raising Kaiju could be so engaging? This simulation game somehow makes giant creatures loveable companions, with plenty to keep you busy. It’s almost a guilty pleasure.

  Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher is a humorous mashup between Ultraman and Monster Rancher, allowing you to raise and train your very own Kaiju. It’s quirky and great for passing the time. The battle system could use a little tweaking to resolve issues with Kaiju not being able to land any attacks at all and then losing because the opponent knocked 50 Life down. My Kaiju, Boris, will forever hold a special place in my heart.

  Solid and definitely have an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.

  The AI opponents are generally quite dumb, and they’ll seldom attack at all, even in the higher rankings. More enjoyable, to my mind, is trying to acquire all of the 218 kaiju to fill up the game’s Kaiju Guide, but however, you choose to play it, Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher does just feel like more of the same.

  This is a shallow, repetitive game, and one that I’d imagine 95% of people who play it will only spend a small amount of time with. I would have an easier time suggesting the curious check it out if it was budget-priced. But as it stands, Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher is only for people who want more Monster Rancher, or love 60s Ultraman.

  7.0

  Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher is a hilariously absurd game from a novelty standpoint, and it has neat elements, such as hunting for NFC-infused objects at home in order to generate monsters, which gave me a nostalgic feeling of inserting CDs in order to get monsters back in the 90s.
