Yet Another Godzilla Game, Godzilla crashing through some bulildings and looking extra goofy

This Game Boy title?

It feels like it is a strange mix of Dig Dug and Burger Time.

Each level is, essentially, a puzzle.

you gotta strategically take out your enemies while uncovering the exit.

It is undeniably awesome.

And yes, that includes an official appearance by Godzilla and a number of his pals.

It is worth noting that this title isn’t solely a Godzilla-themed affair.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of dialogue here, and the game was never translated into English.

City Shrouded In Shadow, Disaster Report with Godzilla

That is, in our opinion, the case with 2014’s Godzilla.

This title was absolutely lambasted upon release.

The biggest criticism levied against it was closely tethered to the speed of Godzilla himself.

Godzilla felt cumbersome and slow.

Destroying virtual buildings is always fun.

And hey, those are fair criticisms.

Is the meme about you spending far too much time attacking generators valid?

Don’t settle for the PlayStation 3’s version.

It is inferior in every way.

Godzilla Generations, Godzilla standing beside a building

In this title you move across a grid, working your way toward the rival kaiju that populate it.

That’s right, this game sees Godzilla romp around the universe, traveling to different planets.

When you fight against another kaiju, the game plays like a rudimentary fighting game.

But you won’t be alone in your battle, Mothra will accompany Godzilla as well.

It all works very well.

While Godzilla is a touch clunky, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Super Godzilla is a fascinating example of that.

It is also the second Godzilla title released on the Game Boy.

It also has a giant cast of Kaiju.

At a glance, it looks a lot like Monster of Monsters.

However, appearances can be deceiving, and its gameplay is shockingly novel.

Unlike in the first Gameboy title, Godzilla’s Atomic Breath is present, but it has a twist.

Using his power decreases his health.

to make it regain health, you better back away and rest.

Godzilla Save The Earth, Mecha Godzilla and Godzilla facing off

And it is all the better for it.

This is a fantastic game!

The only thing keeping this arcadey classic from being our number one pick is the limited roster.

1Godzilla: Save The Earth - PlayStation 2

A Kaiju-Sized Party!

Of all the games on this list, Save the Earth is probably the most popular one among fans.

And it isn’t hard to see why.

On the face of it,this is a 4-player arena brawler.

Which is why it is still a fantastic party game all these years later.
