Play Godzilla 2 - War of the Monsters Online

Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters came out for the NES in 1989, published by Toho. It was a time when licensed games were everywhere, and this one tried something a little different with the kaiju formula. You aren't controlling the monsters directly; you're the defense force trying to manage the chaos.

You control a cursor on a city map, directing military units like tanks and fighter jets to attack Godzilla or other monsters. The main goal is to protect a set number of buildings in each stage by strategically herding the monsters away from them. Key mechanics involve switching between an overhead map to deploy units and a side-view action screen where the combat plays out. The pacing is slow and deliberate, more about planning than reflexes, and the difficulty comes from managing multiple threats with limited resources. It feels like a tense, tactical puzzle where you are always outmatched.
