Awesome / Megaton Rainfall

• Megaton Rainfall does not shy away from making you an absolute overpowered beast. When else has an action game given you such a degree of raw, unhinged power entirely at your fingertips?
  • First of all, you are almost entirely indestructible, so much that the intruders don't even attempt to harm you despite your slaughtering their forces. That's why instead of a meter for your own health, the game has a casualty threshold: if too many humans die on your watch, you lose. The only way you can die is if you get caught in a black hole while exploring space, which nets you an achievement.
  • The very first upgrade you get allows you to fly at globe-circling speeds and the upgrade to that lets you fly at one trillion times lightspeed. And that isn't just an in-universe statement, it shows in the gameplay as well, with you being able to cross between galaxies in a matter of seconds.
  • Your first offensive power is a Hand Blast that can level skyscrapers. The second is a beam that will level the entire city if you aim downwards with it and miss, and has the potential to DESTROY THE GODDAMN PLANET if you charge it enough. The only problem with this is that causing destruction is expressly frowned upon by the game's mechanics, but that's what Sandbox Mode is for.
• The prologue introduces you to the game's movement system with a tour of various landmarks around planet Earth and you even get to see the northern lights. This is taken up a notch once you unlock superluminal flight with a tour around the solar system, including a flight through Saturn's rings and landing on the sun.
• The missions where you fight off the intruders, while they can certainly be stressful and frustrating, are still nothing short of badass. Of special note are the motherships, Boss Battles in some missions where you have to prevent the ship from launching a city-evaporating sky beam until eventually shattering it into beautiful unidentified-metal pieces, and the Final Boss, see here. The battles do an excellent job of making you truly feel that the fate of the world is on your shoulders.
• Traveling across the cold and barren universe and getting to see the sheer, unfathomable scale of it all in person is a uniquely haunting, lonely and damn cool experience that nary a game, if any, has ever done in quite the same fashion.
• All of the above tenfold if you play in VR.
