Bakemono

About

Pilot giant mechs in a neon-lit anime world where simulation meets action. Bakemono lets you customize and command towering robots in fast-paced combat while exploring a vibrant cityscape. Use VR to enhance the experience with motion controls for targeting and dodging. The single-player story weaves through battles against rival mechs and corporate-backed opponents. Simple mechanics focus on weapon upgrades, armor management, and adaptive tactics. Available on PC since 2020, it balances quickfire skirmishes with deeper progression systems. The game’s art style draws clear influence from 90s anime without leaning on direct references. Community feedback highlights the satisfying weight of mech movements and the accessibility of its systems for newcomers. While combat stays straightforward, the VR option adds a layer of immersion that stands out in the indie space. Some players note the story arcs feel underdeveloped, but the focus on polished mech design and responsive controls keeps it engaging. A steady following on Steam suggests fans of robotic brawlers and simulation hybrids find value in its concise approach.
