If you're hungry for something Monster Hunter-flavoured to bite into with your friends, you'll want to keep an eye out for Almighty: Kill Your Gods. It's a third-person action game that combines the behemoth slaying and gear crafting of Monster Hunter with the character action and aesthetic sensibilities of the Darksiders series, and it's coming to Steam Early Access May 5.
In Almighty: Kill Your Gods, you take on the role of an 'alpha': a reborn, mystical warrior whose job it is to protect your tribe from rampaging Elder Gods that threaten your island. Your fighting abilities are based in a pair of power gauntlets that you can customise with power stones. These, along with an amulet you keep strapped to your back, allow you to swap combat abilities and powerful spells around to suit your playstyle.
The gods themselves are truly massive beasts - the ones developer Runwild Entertainment has shown off so far are easily the size of larger Metal Gears, and they range from giant hideous beetles to floating Lovecraftian squid horrors. Defeat them, and you'll be able to carve off their various bits for use back on your home island, where you'll be building up town defences and a central tower that provides buffs to you and your companions in battle.
