Dawn of the Monsters

As a fan of the kaiju genre, this game checks all of the boxes. Could not have picked a better first game for my Steam account.

Each character can be equipped with up to three stats-changing perks, and you'll gain more to change your characters load outs as you play, along with currency that can be spent to change character skins.
