Mostly, what you’ll be doing as you play this game is tromping around the village, trying to follow around the various kids as they run around, and talking with the various residents of the village. While the game gives you multiple opportunities to play this card game, it’s not particularly compelling - it’s little more than a glorified Collectible Card Game-esque version of paper-rock-scissors.
One of the optional tasks players can busy themselves with as they go through the game is to collect colorful glowing “glims” scattered around the area, which turn into a card when you collect enough of the same color. This leads to a part of the mystery of just what the heck is going on in this town, where everyone seems oddly unconcerned about the monstrous creatures that supposedly terrorize the area.įor their part, the kids are all massive fans of the kaiju TV series, and play card games featuring the kaiju. When Sohta heads out to meet with the local kids, his parents seem unconcerned, essentially waving him out the door and warning him to be back before it gets too late because it’s dangerous. Attack of the Friday Monsters is tonally strange for a game whose story seems heavily influenced by the town being routinely tromped on by kaiju. If that description seemed odd to you, it’s not because you misunderstood something. Players take the role of Sohta, a ten year-old boy who just moved to the town, and focuses largely on his interactions with other kids his age, and the games they play around the village. This game takes place in Fuji no Hana, a suburb of Tokyo where the local TV station films episodes of a popular kaiju/superhero drama, and where recently real-life Godzilla-like kaiju have been spotted stomping around every Friday, leaving massive footprints, mysterious craters, and other signs of destruction in their wake.
Attack of the Friday Monsters: A Tokyo TaleĪttack of the Friday Monsters is a Graphic Adventure released on Nintendo 3DS in 2013.
