OverviewOverview

Terror of Hemasaurus is a retro fighting game where you smash up a destructible city as a giant monster. Play is like the classic Rampage arcade game, here though you can use the game's physics to inflict greater damage, chain reactions and combos. It's like stepping into a pixelated B-Movie and stands out for its frantic bombastic four-player fun.

You wreak havoc on humanity as one of four huge monsters. Punch buildings, slap helicopters, eat humans, kick cars or do all at the same time. It ups the satisfaction by combining arcade action, mindless destruction and real physics that even lets you topple buildings if you hit them with enough force in the right spot.

As you progress you uncover a story about humanity's destruction of the planet. Earth is on the brink of a climate catastrophe. The answer here is not protesting or recycling. The Church of the Holy Lizard hatches a plan to "save" us from our own recklessness by unleashing a monster to kill, destroy, and inflict terror.

The result is a game about rampaging devastation in its many locations. There's a real delight in the imaginative destruction as you stomp terrified citizens and pulverise buildings in its apocalyptic, retro arcade blast of farcical fun. But running through this is also a tongue-in-cheek critique of how the media and consumerism want things to continue as normal rather than respond to environmental (and monstrous) threats to life.

Age RatingsAge Ratings

Content Rating

Rated PEGI 18 for Extreme Violence.

Rated for younger players in Australia. Rated Mature Accompanied (MA 15+) for Strong Violence, Strong Themes, Strong Drug Use.
The developer states that the game "contains violence, gore, blood." When you die your monster can explode into many parts with splashes of blood and bone visible. Although pixilated, when the tiny people die with a splash of blood and dismemberment and remain in the level. There are often piles of pixilated bodies from the destruction. The monsters can eat the people if they catch them.

Skill Rating

11+ year-olds usually have the required skill to enjoy this game. Still, it's important for parents and guardians to consider the maturity required to process the game content. This is an unusual game as it's very enjoyable for younger players who just need the skill to move around and cause chain reactions of destruction. But (to restate) there is a lot of pixilated violence they need to be mature enough to cope with.
