The title refers to the services of a super hero who can be hired to grapple against Godzilla and Mothra look a likes wherever they may be causing havoc in this gaming equivalent of a B movie. Also has some RPG elements in the setting up of battles between our super hero and the varing kaiju. Except to be truthful our man hasn’t quite obtained super hero nirvana: he is just doing these odd jobs to pay for his lycra suit such as opening a bank account. Followed up on the Dreamcast and Xbox.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Mia ★★★★★

The pixel art and cheesy monster designs really sell that B-movie vibe, and the whole "rent-a-hero" gimmick is surprisingly fun once you get past the dated controls. It's short and a bit janky, but it's exactly the kind of goofy Mega Drive oddity I was hoping for.

Adam ★★★★★

Renting a superhero to fight giant monsters is such a delightfully silly concept, and the B-movie aesthetic really sells it. The grapple mechanic feels satisfying when you finally connect with a Godzilla look-alike.

Richard O. ★★★★★

The rental mechanic actually makes you think about which hero to pick for each kaiju encounter, giving it real strategy under the cheesy B-movie skin. Even the sound effects feel ripped straight from a Saturday morning cartoon, which only adds to the charm.
