Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Brawl is a fighting game primarily based on Toho's Godzilla franchise, with some other Kaiju movies/series that are in-game or referenced. It was developed by Pipeworks Software and published by Infogrames under the Atari brand for Nintendo Switch in 2026, and is a long-awaited remake to the GameCube game Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee, the PlayStation 2 and Xbox game Godzilla: Save the Earth, and the Wii game Godzilla: Unleashed.
Gameplay[]
The player plays as one of fourty-two giant monsters and sporadically attack all monsters. Extras include powerup orbs, which provide additional health, energy, unlock a finishing move, or summon Mothra (Monsterverse) for an airstrike. Extra features include choice of many locations, and a "destruction" mode (in which players compete to destroy buildings in a city) and "melee" mode (in which up to four players can compete simultaneously). Rage Mode from some prior games is present. Monsters can also use one of seven "Power Surges", which are temporary abilities that can be used only once per battle, per monster. Surges increase certain traits, like for example the Fire Surge increases damage dealt and Speed Surge increases speed. They can also decrease abilities like Shield Surge, which increases defense while slowing movement. Others can improve and damage others like Radiation Surge that improves health regeneration while impairing that of nearby monsters. Before the Surge is over, monsters can release a powerful shockwave attack. In the single player Story Mode, multiple Power Surges can be collected through defeating an enemy monster afflicted with the Surge. In multiplayer mode, the Surges are obtained by destroying Surge Crystals that pop up in the environment.
Plot[]
The plot involves an alien race known as the Vortaak invading the Earth and assuming control of the planet's giant monsters, sending them to attack cities across the globe. One monster breaks free from the Vortaak's control, and battles the other monsters in order to drive off the Vortaak, and that monster is the king of the monsters, Godzilla.
