I did a mock play though of a 6 player King of Tokyo just to test things out. Kraken won with a combo of Eater of the Dead and High Altitude Bombing. Kraken was in Tokyo as well. Once I figured out going to really low health was ok with only one other monster outside of Tokyo after the damage happened, it was an easy call. Upkeep + 2 monsters down meant 8 easy victory points and left him at 17. Upkeep + dice roll got him the final needed victory points on his next turn.

I can totally see somebody being at full health and dead within a round, which makes it kind of chaotic but fun. It didn't seem like a lot of cards got played. I think the number of cards played was around 0-2 per monster. With so few played, the higher cost cards come across as game changers. I tried to play it based on what I remember of the rules after a pass through. I'll read them again, and I should be good to go from there.
