Una mezcla entre beat em up y fighting con escenarios bastante cortos, los personajes son un poco toscos en sus movimientos, tiene buenos sprites y música.

Not too great, seems fun in theory to play as a kaiju in a beatemup but the execution is pretty weak, and other reviews seem to indicate this is just an issue with the game itself and not the SNES port specifically. I thought it was fine earlier on but the later bosses get really nasty, would probably have put a 6/10 if they didn't include a boss rush at the end. A boss rush doesn't even make much sense at all with how this game is structured, it's like two steps removed from being a standard fighting game. Imagine playing Street Fighter II but you have to play the entire thing twice before confronting M Bison. That ain't right.

Blatantly rips off Toho and Tsuburaya properties like crazy and is a pretty unhinged wrestling game all around. Found it fairly fun until the boss gauntlet lol
+0.5 stars for the P1 VS P2 modes and minigames adding some redeeming value

Had the pleasure to fightcade this with C_F, and it was a fun 'time', but not a fun game. Conversation helped mask the fact the whole game was a damage-spongey monstrosity.

This game has the worst boss rush ever made too, cause the whole game is 90% bosses already? Imagine if the 2nd Loop of Ghosts N Goblins replaced all the level tilesets with the last level tileset. Just doing the same thing, but harder and worse, while staring at the same graphics.

Actually now that I say that, the 2nd loop of GnG taking place in the last world would be way more badass than whatever's happening here.

Maybe this is better single-player? Always a chance the damage values got wonky because of 2P, you know how beatemup devs get with this shit
