BeastLink, an action game where players protect a city from kaiju, entered early access on Steam on August 18. Developed and published by Grove Street Games, it supports Japanese and offers multiplayer for up to 32 players. Players fight as infantry or transform into kaiju using serum, with destructible environments.
BeastLink is now in early access on Steam as of August 18, around 22:00 JST. The game, developed and published by Grove Street Games, supports Japanese and centers on defending a city from kaiju. Its multiplayer mode accommodates up to 32 players, who can engage as infantry with firearms or operate vehicles such as cars, helicopters, tanks, and aircraft.
A key mechanic involves collecting serum to link with sleeping kaiju, allowing players to transform into giant beasts with distinct abilities and fighting styles. Some kaiju are flying types that attack from the air, while others are power types that rely on close combat. The link depth increases power but also raises the risk of being consumed by it.
The game features a destruction system called Super Destruction, enabling players to collapse skyscrapers and destroy city blocks. Each map contains hundreds of thousands of destructible objects, which can be used to clear paths or as weapons.
