Our verdict

7.0out of 10

A single boss fight, done properly. The telegraph is readable, which is more than most tie in games managed.

About Ben 10: Kraken Attack

Kraken Attack is from the first Ben 10 series, before the sequels changed the cast. You fight a large sea creature and the smaller things it sends at you, and the game gives you the alien forms as attack options rather than as a transformation system.

It is a boss fight stretched into a whole game, which was a common shape for a tie in. The pattern reading is the point: the Kraken telegraphs, and a player who watches for the telegraph will finish it while a player who mashes will not.

How to play

  1. Move along the deck with the arrow keys.
  2. Attack when the Kraken exposes itself, and get clear when it does not.
  3. Deal with the smaller creatures before they reach you.

Tips

  • The Kraken always telegraphs. Watch one full cycle before you attack anything.
  • Clear the small creatures during the Kraken's recovery, not during its attack.
