Passion Republic Games has revealed Kongkrete, a sentient office building that will be a playable character in the studio’s upcoming multiplayer brawler game, GigaBash.
Here at IGN we’re able to bring you the first look at gameplay of Kongkrete in the new official GigaBash trailer. Take a look at the chaos in action below.
Kongkrete has one advantage over its adversaries in GigaBash’s monster roster; as a building, it can blend in with other structures on the map when standing completely still. This allows the multi-storey terror to gain the element of surprise, which is not something we’d ever expect of a tower block.
Enemies that get too close to Kongkrete can be damaged by a burst of Giga Energy that reverses their movement controls, making it much more difficult for them to fight back and avoid your blows. Such a move pales in comparison to Kongkrete’s Ultimate ability, though, which turns it into a rocket-powered skyscraper that can squash enemies flat.
GigaBash is a 4-player multiplayer brawler inspired by kaiju movies. With a roster of monsters, kaijus, and heroes, players will be able to cause chaos in fully destructible maps (so expect plenty of collapsing buildings, aside from Kongkrete). It will release on PS5, PS4 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in early 2022.
For more, check out 17 minutes of GigaBash gameplay, in which hero Gigaman can be seen battering the monster Skorak.
