Another obscure game where you run around as a monster destroying cities. In this PS1 jankfest you’re a frustrated Japanese man who is gifted powers that grow with his rage and runs around causing ever-increasing destruction.
It’s immensely frustrating, barely responsive, ugly as hell and the music gave me a headache, but that honestly feels like it might be intentional? I think there’s a chance that this game’s purposefully being frustrating for the sake of showing that giving in to anger would just lead to an empty spiral of destruction and pain… or maybe it’s just a weird ass kusoge. Had fun with it, though. I recommend it.

You know how people say the torture in MGS was genius because at the same time Ocelot was torturing Snake, he was also torturing you through the minigame? Well, that, but imagine a whole game based on that.
Although the controls were actually physically painful for me at times, i still think the whole experience was worth it. The weirdness of it, the kusogeness of it, and even the wholesome-y moral of the story is just so unique.

i dont care how bad the controls are
We're clearly deep into kusoge territory here, but at least it's fun kusoge so I finished it.
In Hakai-ou, you're some Japanese guy who gets bitten by an alien (?) fly and progressively transform into a kaiju. The goal of the game is just to fuck shit up and destroy everything. You start with your apartment, then your workplace, and then you get bigger and get to destroy bigger things,... until you end up as a Godzilla-sized disaster. It's incredibly stupid and it makes something like Dynasty Warriors look like a Zachtronics game. I still had fun though, it's relaxing to break shit in videogames! What isn't relaxing and put Hakai-ou directly into the shit game category is the awful controls and terrible camera. It's a shame because the idiotic concept and insane story has a distinct charm you can only find in Japanese B-movies, like something directed by Takashi Miike or Minoru Kawasaki.

The bigger levels with tons of enemies firing at you are just a little too annoying for me to really want to finish the whole thing, but in concept and otherwise execution this is primo kusoge. You should have to play this before you're allowed to use the term. The Anti-Katamari.
I have spent years trying to remember what the fuck this game was and now that I have, I can finally say things about it.
First off, this is way more trippier than I remember it being and it's so strange that I associate pickled onions with this game. I played this during an era when all I had was my PS1. I would play so many obscure PS1 games and this was among the most memorable purely because of eating pickled onions at the time.
What can I say about the game honestly? I don't know, but I'm so glad I have remembered it.
