Hakaiou: King of Crusher is a 1998 Japan-exclusive kaiju (because "Japan" and "kaiju" goes so well hand-in-hand, don't they?) action game made by Dentsu Inc. and Disc Garage for the PlayStation 1.You play as an unnamed, blue-collared office worker in 1990s Tokyo working a boring, 9-5 job, dealing with office politics while simultaneously spending time with your wife and baby child. But as you deal with frustration of everyday life, and wishing for "something exciting" to happen for once, an alien bug unexpectedly arrives on earth and stings you.Before you knew it, you are suddenly consumed by rage. And fury. And an urge to destroy everything in sight. With superhuman strength and power raging through your veins as you start wrecking everything in the way. And the more you destroy, the larger you grow - in both your size and appetite for destruction - as you take on multiple monstrous features, starting as a werewolf-life beastman form to a giant humanoid the size of a house to becoming a Godzilla-esque monster. And as your destructive tendencies grows out of control, you proceed on an unstoppable rampage from Tokyo to New York.And no, there is no turning back for you now. Not ever...

Hulking Out: How your first transformation out of your human shell is depicted. After destroying your office (as a human), you then escape into the city outskirts, only for you to burst out your clothes into a reptilian-wolf beast-man form (Magic Pants included).

Multiple Endings: The outcome of the ending solely depends on whether you destroy the baby after defeating the Statue of Liberty or lose all of your health. Bad Ending: The alien bug successfully manipulates you into destroying the earth. And as a final "screw you", it then decides to infect your child into becoming a new monster. Good Ending: Time rewinds to when the baby was delivered back at the hospital, and the salesman lives happily with his wife and baby, devoid of his anger issues. He even swats the alien fly with his bare hands.

The Bad Guy Wins: Depending on your definition of "bad guy"... the game have you transforming into a monster and destroying the world, and even succeeds in the final level when you turned New York, the last city on earth, into a wasteland. But then you revert back to human, and are congratulated by the alien bug who bit you and turned you into a monster in the first place. Who then infects your baby before the credits roll. However, you can choose to lose all of your health after defeating the Statue of Liberty and Earn Your Happy Ending.

This trope can apply to you in the New York stages, when you're a giant kaiju at that point. Gunfire from helicopters and armored vehicles does Scratch Damage to your health, but when fired in concentrated bursts your life meter then visibly depletes until you clear the level.

Subverted in the good ending, where time rewinds back to the baby being delivered and the man, wife and baby living happily together as a family.

Big Bad: While your unnamed protagonist isn't intentionally hostile, the game does have a main villain, in the form of the alien bug who injects you with a monstrous venom. Because said bug is a highly-manipulative alien creature who wants to destroy entire worlds, and it's using you as it's pawn. The bug even screws you over in the bad ending - by infecting your baby with another dose of it's venom, turning your child into another monster to start the cycle of destruction anew.

Death of a Thousand Cuts: In your first monstrous form (where you're still human-sized, albeit with enhanced strength), if your rage meter is depleted, you can still destroy entire buildings by punching them repeatedly. It's pretty tedious, but gets the job done. This trope can apply to you in the New York stages, when you're a giant kaiju at that point. Gunfire from helicopters and armored vehicles does Scratch Damage to your health, but when fired in concentrated bursts your life meter then visibly depletes until you clear the level.
