Destructible surroundings are part of the combat system, alongside each kaiju’s attacks and energy blasts.

A building in Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered can become something a monster throws. The arena is a source of usable objects as well as the space where the fight happens, placing environmental destruction inside the combat system. Atari’s Xbox product listing.

Atari and Pipeworks’ updated version of the 2002 game includes 12 kaiju and eight locations. The settings range from recreated cities to Monster Island and an alien mothership, with day and night variations. Each monster has its own combination of close-range attacks, energy attacks, and Rage Mode moves.

The player’s choices extend beyond which creature to control. A fight can involve approaching an opponent, using a ranged attack, or bringing nearby architecture into the exchange.

Local multiplayer and online multiplayer support battles between players. Single-player content includes campaigns for the individual kaiju, while the revised unlock system allows players to choose the order in which they obtain monsters, locations, and gallery material.
