The King of Kaiju Brawlers Returns
Originally released in 2002, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee let players battle through destructible city arenas as some of Toho’s most iconic monsters.
The remastered version brings back the 4-player arena brawling, giving players control of kaiju, including Showa-era Mechagodzilla. Battles take place across destructible cities such as Tokyo and San Francisco, where players can smash skyscrapers, throw buildings, and fight rival monsters amid collapsing streets.
