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!

This is another obscure RPG made with O.H.R.RPG.C.E, it's quite simple and easy. You take on the role of these strange but charming monsters who travel through different periods in time to thwart Dr. Cube's evil plans as he changes the course of history! Every character has their own abilities and skills, making them unique. There are a few juicy secrets hidden around the game, and slight references to Walthros (Bob in Doodle Land), C.Kane (He is in the Abyss Arena) and Bufada (one of Robox's computer puzzles). The game has great balance, the art style is cute and fun as well. A huge perk in this is you'll NEVER have to grind! It was too easy for me, but if you have younger siblings or a friend who likes Kaiju, or if you are new to RPG's then I'd recommend this to them. 8/10
A truly unique RPG that stands out from everyone else with wild characters, great art direction, fun soundtrack and a sense of humor. Worth buying for any RPG fan.
P.S. I hope a sequel is made in the future.
I never saw myself falling in love with a crew of time traveling wrestlers, but it happened & I regret nothing.
This is the definition of a hidden gem. There's no other turn based RPG in existence quite like this. It has so much charm & love put in it, memorable characters, solid dialogue, good length, well paced, though I didn't want it to end. Some of the most fun I've ever had with a JRPG.
Probably the most fun that I've had with a bog standard RPG in the past decade.
For those that don't know, Kaiju Big Battel is a real wrestling institution where people dress in rubber suits and wrestle it out in the ring. You don't need any knowledge of the league to start here, but it'll give you an idea of what to expect. What if costumed WWE wrestlers went on a time traveling adventure?
With this expectation set: The writing is on point. It's silly, it's punny, and it's just the right level of dumb. This light-hearted theme is consistent across all aspects. It's in the dialog, it's in the battle messages, it's in the storytelling, in the quests and in the graphics style. It was never laugh out loud for me, but it was a constant smile.
While the writing and design are excellent, the gameplay is a strange bag of "It works the way you'd expect". It looks and feels like a simple, inoffensive Japanese Style RPG from the NES era.
The one area worth specific notice is the level design, It's the first JRPG I've played with a successful Souls-like design. The maps are small with visible enemies with a focus on interconnected paths and shortcuts. Use your HP/MP to clear one path a time and lock in your success by unlocking a door or finding a key item to the next path. Everything stays dead until you rest at the centralized save point.
This works great here.
If you're here for combat, put the game on Hard from the start. Despite the souls-like level design, it's not a challenging game. Instead of being "Well-balanced", it's what I call "Balanced for Fun." Nearly all characters/parties/builds are viable, but there are dozens of stupid OP options for you find.
The equipment system offers alot of freedom in building your characters include a "Badge" equipment slot that adds a free skill. Do you want your primary fighter to "Attack Twice"? What if your mage could "Regen MP" for an action? How about giving a free basic heal to your Healer or maybe it'd go better on your high-speed character for early activation? Is it worth equipping a weapon that sacrifices half your HP per normal attack for MASSIVE attack boost... what if we combined that with attack twice?
The freedom here was amazingly fun and led to my constantly switching out equipment and party combinations especially in the mid to late game. I was still experimenting with new ideas at the last boss.
My final party had somehow turned my healer into my main DPS, my fighter into a healer, my blue mage providing support fire and my rage tank into a backup healer with occasional high damage nukes.
So yeah, this is one of my strongest recommendations for a game that I can offer while still saying "It doesn't really bring anything new to the table." It's still ending up on my list of favorites because it's just that well implemented.
So damn good ! Must buy if you enjoy RPG, monsters and a bit humor :-)
This game plays out like an old school final fantasy with dope music and a quirkiness on par with a Saturday morning cartoon. It's a fun little experience that matches its price tag. I just wish that since the game was pushing the suspension of disbelief, and leaning into the fact these characters were real monsters, that there would have been more large scale battles like the colossal titan. I guess I wanted them to lean more into the kaiju aspect but I understand the game was also adhering to the standard set by the wrestling.
wonderful game, such a classic jrpg-like - and it works perfectly on steam deck!
As somebody who came into this knowing only cursory amounts of what KBB is all about, but as somebody who plays an obscene amount of JRPG's, I absolutely love this game.
The characters are very easy to get into and their RPG crew niche is easy to figure out. Every member ends up having both a major job and a minor job they can play in battle (IE as you level up, Silver Potato goes from full-on Black Mage to Black Mage-Cleric with healing and M-ATK protection spells, Dusto Bunny the White Mage has a Dragoon-style jump attack to start, etc.), and everybody has a terrain ability that comes in handy, so everyone ends up being useful in their own way, and if you're like me and crave having a team all around the same level, grinding lesser-used crew members is not an issue. The game also implements some form of EXP Share, making leveling that much easier. The inclusion of Blue Mage-type Robox makes backtracking to get every spell there is a priority, and serves to remind you that backtracking is definitely a thing that should be done.
The story is simple, yet engaging, and spoilers aside I found every little side quest to be fun. There are numerous pop culture references (I marked out over the Twin Peaks references, ngl), and references you might not get if you're not a KBB fan, and it never takes itself super serious (which is just the impression I get from the source material, and I like that aspect of it). It's a fun kind of gloomy you get from a Saturday morning cartoon, where the heroes will triumph eventually but it's hardly sunshine and rainbows as you go, and you got jokes and puns galore. The game does encourage you to 100% the side quests, as the rewards you receive are definitely worth whatever you have to do to get them.
The actual RPG element of the game is robust, simple, and has very few hang-ups (more on that). Everyone has their niche, their sub-niche, and a gimmick they lean into hard (as a good wrestler does!) and everybody has times when they are useful and when they are not. The game's difficulty scaling is appreciated (I've been playing in "Danger Mode" which seems to be the Medium setting, for reference, and with a bit of grinding, have not found too many things difficult to traverse without figuring out what the gimmick was that I had to circumnavigate.) The Russia level seems to have a difficulty spike just due to the amount of enemies you encounter that can bop you hard, but the game's "touch the sprite to encounter" style allows you to more or less avoid them as long as you can. I've not finished the game, at the point of this review, but after 8 or so hours I feel like I've gotten pretty far into the story, having done almost all side-bosses save for one up until now.
My only hang-up is, as somebody who is a longtime RPG guy, have a bit of difficulty understanding the ATK and M-ATK differences for characters. It might just be me, but for example, I can't tell if American Beetle's magic attacks run off his ATK or M-ATK, and sometimes I can't tell this about certain enemies either, so I have a hard time deciding at times if I need to drop ATK or M-ATK/DEF or M-DEF for my opponents/raise them for my team. I usually just end up doing everything all-around, but that's sometimes very precious time spent adjusting stats when I should be pummeling.
Also not a knock on the game itself, but there's no guides out there bc it appears this game has a very small community, and that's a shame but it does leave me kinda wandering the wilds trying to assess what I should do or what the optimum strats are for defeating a boss. Sometimes I like having that backup, but this game just has you hanging out there, hanging onto a single video series on YouTube for your life if you honestly have no idea what to do. For example: one of the Egypt puzzles had me completely deadlocked for an hour until I found out from watching this video series that you can pull objects around as well as push them. Again, probably just me being a ding-dong, but yeah. That happened.
And this is a very small but important note: I had a serious problem in the game, and reporting it to the forums got a near-immediate response. The devs pay attention to your comments and will walk you through whatever tech issue you're having, and are extremely friendly! 1000000/10 customer service, I greatly appreciate them! <3
In all, I can't recc this game enough if you want a JRPG experience with a fun, cartoony cast and a joke-riddled superhero storyline about a bunch of kaiju saving the world from a guy with a cube head and his reality-warping slug pet. Please buy this game, tell all your friends, stream it on Twitch/YT/whatever, please get the word out about how lovely this game is!
A time-traveling/wrestling RPG with more humor, imagination and—at very specific times—insightful commentary than just about anything else I've played in the genre. Clever writing, amazing scenarios, and instantly lovable characters. Give it a try, please: it is easily one of my all time favorite RPGs.
It's based off of an actual wrestling promotion of the same name, which means you might be a little disoriented by its presentation at first, but its fairly easy to get into without any knowledge. KBB:FF wisely focuses more on its own story than trying to just be a tie-in, and it works very well.
The battle system is engaging, built within an inch of its own life in a 1997 DOS battle system called OHRRPGCE. I have some minor disagreements with one or two side quests in terms of how the information is presented, but overall the "gaming" non-narrative parts are fantastic, and there's more than a few bosses that'll really make you think about how to approach them. I've only beaten the game on normal difficulty, but I loved it enough to consider a revisit.
I genuinely believe Robox's story/mechanics could have been something entirely on its own. His section is transcendent and I hope the developer revisits the tone and ideas he conjured up here in the future.
What an unexpectedly great game! I'm so glad that i stumbled upon this hidden gem.
Kaiju Big Battel is a wacky turn-based JRPG-type game. You will roleplay as Kaijus Heroes who were trying to stop an evil villain from manipulating space and time. You will also encounter many weird things while playing this game but it is a good kind of weird.
The strong point of this game is the dialogue and humor. I really love interactions between characters; every playable characters are memorable and has their own unique personality. I also love the theme of the worlds/levels, from desert pyramid, snowy town, modern cityscape to space, they gave me a great sense of adventure. There is quite a lot of content packed in this small game.
Overall, i enjoyed it a lot. Minor problems here and there but nothing serious. My main concern was only how little the clues there were sometimes. The devs had some great ideas for their game; make me wish that they will have more budget to further improve their future games in terms of graphic, mechanics etc.
But for now, I will give Kaiju Big Battel an 8.5 out of 10!
I love this game so much, this is my second playthrough now and I'm just so thoroughly charmed by these characters :') just a genuinely pleasant and joyful experience!
I do wish there was an accessibility option to turn off screen shaking and the extreme flashing lights and distortions because they do get a bit painful to look at after a few hours but overall I love this game very much :]
The archetype of a hidden gem!
Pro:
- Funy and lighthearted story
- Exploration elements, similar to Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass (but less difficult and complex though)
- Nice and unique art style. I could watch the "Victory!" screen the whole day!
- Well paced difficulty at Normal: encounters are always challenging but you'll rarely die, not much shopping and even less grinding is requried. At the end you might have to restock and rethink your approach, though. But that's a good thing!
- 8 unique party members to choose from
- It manages to suprise at a regular base (gameplay-wise as well as story-wise), so your playthrough will never get boring.
- Achievements have been added very late to the game, so all of them are rare and shiny! Me like shiny!
- Stop reading, really. Just give it a try!
Con (nitpicks basically):
- Well ... some of the early levels came with same high-pitched music which was a bit annoying?
- I played it with a controller, which was a bit messy at times (looking at you, Party Order menu!)
[*] Comparing stats of items could have been a bit easier, esp. in stores.
One, if not the best, licensed games I've ever played. Great graphics, great music, rewarding secrets and side quests with plenty of bonus bosses and the like. It's also incredibly funny and just in general a total blast to play, no familiarity with the wrestling promotion the game is based off needed.
This game is hysterical, packed full of puns and references. The combat is turn based and each character has a set of skills (cleverly named for each character to fit their wrestler theme), The attack animations are cute and simple and the story is really interesting. Basically to help keep balance in the world between Kaiju and man kind, wrestling matches are held. A once good scientist Doctor Cube, steps into the ring and uses a Time Slug, which is a forbidden Kaiju. This work fudges up space and time and you ensue on a race through time, thwarting Dr. Cube's plans and recruit your scattered teammates. I'm not quite done yet, but I really hope that we get a sequel!!! Be great to see what they could do with a bigger budget!
i enjoy the sensation of earthbound and final fantasy when playing this game. i dont have a dislike on this title.
Highly recommended, most fun I've had in a jRPG since Hylics and Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass. The attention to detail is impressive with every single thing in the world being examinable!
Note: Playtime bugged as usual, played for nearly 10 hrs offline to get to the last area (examining everything).
I just got back from a Kaiju Big Battel live event. I had no idea this was even a thing until a few weeks ago and then at the show I found out they have a game? Sign me up! You haven't lived until you've witnessed a bear/cheeseburger hybrid pile drive a giant trash monster!
For real though so far this game seems like a pretty standard JRPG, just funnier. It's pretty basic but you can tell the devs put a lot of love into it right from the start of the game. Looking forward to dropping a few more hours into this one.
A great little RPG for fans of Kaiju Big Battel. The combat in the game is decidedly average and doesn't hold much depth near the end besides just using your party's most powerful moves and the puzzles are pretty simple, but the game makes up for it in its writing, art, and music. A large portion of the Kaiju roster make their appearances in the game as party members, bosses, enemies, and side characters with a lot of on-brand humor in the writing.
If you're a fan of Kaiju Big Battel I definitely recommend the game - those looking for in-depth combat will have to look elsewhere, although people who are fans of comedy RPGs in general can still find some laughs in this game despite not knowing the source material. The ending stretch is probably one of the funniest things I've played in a RPG in a while, especially as a fan of KBB.
The game took me about 9 hours to beat, including the sidestories.
What a hidden gem. This game has some absolutely astonishing music, charming graphics and writing, interesting characters and designs, and although it tends to be pretty standard early on in terms of mechanics, it has a lot of depth in tactical choice. This would have been a frickin' hit on the SNES years back. Definitely worth your money.
Okay. I bought this game out of curiosity, hoping to find a hidden gem. And, wow. It did not disappoint.
"Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy" has a plot. It is a mashup of "Destroy all Monsters," "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure," and any given episode of "WWE RAW." It's a profoundly weird narrative, but it is coherent.
Soooo...this game is set in a world where giant Godzilla monsters are real. However, all the huge city-stomping monsters signed some sort of treaty-thing agreeing to only battle each other in scheduled, televised, in-ring events to avoid needlessly wiping out humanity. However during a major title match, an evil monster with a box for a head breaks the rules by using a steel chair against his opponent. Then, when he realizes he's going to get disqualified, he summons a giant interdimensional sea slug to transport him back in time so he can alter the time stream continuum to retroactively prevent himself from ever losing of the match...and also become ruler of the world. So, now you must lead a group of benevolent monsters through time in order to set history right and presumably end the original title bout.
You with me?
This game is bananas! As its title implies, the gameplay follows the classic Final Fantasy formula of turn-based battles. And, given my description of the plot, you may be thinking the game's script is nothing but "LOL RANDUMB!!!1!" dialogue. But, no. This is a thoroughly fleshed out universe, with surprisingly three dimensional protagonists. So, the game's humor is genuinely pretty great! It's charming, funny, and character driven, even if all the characters are idiotic meat-heads.
Did I mention its presentation is also pretty darn phenomenal? The OST is full of original chip-tunes that do a more than serviceable job of setting each world's tone. There are enough fast-travel hot spots to prevent the game from ever dragging. And all encounter monsters are visible on the game's overworld, so there's no unwanted random battles. The pixel art in this game is legitimately impressive, and the graphics feature plenty of nods to the SNES Mode 7 eye-candy that defined 16-bit JRPGs.
However, this is not really a nostalgia game. It's its own thing. Despite all the references, "Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy" is its own stupidly crazy thing. This is a shockingly fresh game built on nostalgic mechanics. And that's a good thing. Players will need *something* familiar to keep them grounded in this lunacy. The fact that this is coming from such an obscure freelance Dev is awesome. This could easily have been a cheap RPGMaker project. But, no. The game is seemingly built from the ground up, and that gives it level of polish that really makes this labor of love shine. If this is any indicator of quality, I think we can expect some really amazing stuff from Super Walrus Games.
So, do I recommend "Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy?" Yes. To who? Well, you can't put a game as unique as this into a box. So, I won't. I recommend it to everyone. Everyone, buy this game.
Or, at least try the free demo. Yeah. It even has a free demo, for anyone who's on the fence. This game's great.
Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy is a charming and lighthearted throwback to JRPGs of the past, substituting swords and sorcery with the wonderful world of kaijus and wrestling. Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy is a definite recommendation to any fans of the JRPG genre.
With eight distinct party members, tons of sidequests to do, many enemies and bosses to face and countless NPCs to talk to and plethora of puns, Kaiju Big Battel has a new surprise around every corner. Accompanying the gameplay is an absolutely bopping soundtrack, pleasant pixel graphics and a whimsical tone that really ties everything together. Talking to every NPC and inspecting every nook and cranny is rewarded with funny banter and the later areas in the game have some of the funniest sequences of any game I've played.
Well, I think this JRPG is hilarious, in a good way. I played a lot of different party-based RPGs over the years, but I never played a game that had such a funny approach to its narrative, aesthetic and overall design. Right away, I can clearly tell that developer put his heart and soul into this project, something that only a few games can get across. For example, there is a hero HQ where you can play mini-games, do an interview, change the soundtrack and interact with characters (not exactly a generic game). Even though it has decent RPG elements, the KBB's strength is within its narrative, creative aesthetic, smart-ass characters and a good sense of humor.
I really like all the extras that you get with this game, such as visual palettes, character profiles, side quests, and the ability to change the difficulty after you started. You can go to settings and choose between several visual themes like colorblind, desaturate, monochrome and inverted (in case you want the game to look more retro). As with most JRPGs, you can find several different playable characters with unique abilities. Each character has couple different attacks and most importantly, very unique personalities. So far I am not particularly impressed with its combat depth, it just does a decent job in that regard. However, you can equip different items and gain new abilities, making it somewhat above average when compared to similar games.
Pros:
+ hilarious narrative IMO
+ competent JRPG gameplay / even some puzzles
+ awesome visual design, creative characters
+ fun extras (color palettes, choosing soundtrack)
+ mini games / side quests
+ you can change the difficulty after you started
+ save almost anywhere
+ decent UI
Cons:
- I would like to see some features to improve the combat speed. It would be nice to have a "give up" feature so you don't have to finish a losing fight. The animation speed booster would be nice, assuming it could be implemented.
- I don't like the lack of enemy info
My initial Impression: Way above average
It may have generic JRPG gameplay, but the game really shines when it comes to narrative and creative aesthetic. I just love its sense of humor, probably the funniest game that I played this year. It has a very unique character design and many extra features. I honestly don't know what else you could ask for in this genre. Generally speaking, I almost never finish JRPGs because they tend to be very long, but I do want to find the time to get through this one.
