Release the Kraken!

[Requires a gamepad]

DESCRIPTION

The heroic captain of the armored submarine ‘Leviathan’ sets out to destroy all sea monsters. But you don’t get to be the hero this time: you are but the one and only gigantic sea monster: the Kraken.

As the villain, you can only stop the game’s hero for so long. She can always load the game back to the last checkpoint, grind your minions for experience, and come back stronger each time.

If you can kill the hero enough times though, the forces of evil will promote to ‘recurring boss’ and unlock your next form. With greatly increased power, you will reappear at the end of Chapter 2! And try to destroy the Leviathan! But.. only for so long...

PRO-TIP: if you've defeated the hero 3 times, you should try letting her win.
