This interpretation of Godzilla takes form of a fighting game, only instead of the usual brave martial artists the players control horrifying monsters from the traditional Toho lineage. The combat system is similar to other fighting games, with various combinations of buttons executing different moves. Naturally, the normal "punch-kick" scheme is modified to suit the monsters' shapes and biological peculiarities. For example, monsters with tails can use tail spin attacks; fire-breathing monsters have a range fire attack, etc. Most of the monsters have a move when they hold the opponent and suck its blood.
