War of the Monsters! (Reboot)

War of the Monsters is a beat em' up 3D fighting game for the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One developed by Gunfire Games in collaboration with LightBox Interactive and Airship Syndicate and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is a reboot of the original PS2 game that was released in 2003 and reconstructs the story of War of the Monsters on a cinematic perspective.

The game is set in an aftermath of an alien invasion of Earth where their hazardous fuels have spawned giant monsters that battle one another in citywide environments. The game pays homage to kaiju films and modern day science fiction films.

Setting
The earth is under attack by alien forces, as many UFOs attacking major cities around the world and resulted in the deaths of millions of lives. The military attempt to repel with conventional weaponry, but were ineffective against the saucers advanced deflector shields. The President, world leaders and representatives gathered at the United Nations to discuss how to defeat the invaders. The joint chiefs suggested to launch a nuclear counterstrike but that would kill them too.

A great scientist, Dr. Cedric Beaumont came before them with a sign of hope; a recovered one piece of the saucers that the tanks manage to break off. The alloy was nothing like any form of metal found on Earth. This inspired the masses to develop a potential super weapon and the president and joint chiefs agreed to follow along with his plan. Dr. Beaumont and a band of leading scientist and engineers work together in hidden laboratories created a series of powerful pulse generators in a proximate 2 years while the us army held off the aliens to buy them enough time. 200 generators were built and are then placed upon key landmarks around the world. Activated in unison, they released a massive wave EMP that crippled the saucers and caused them to fall below to the surface. It would seem mankind has ended the invasion with billions have mourned for their losses and some rejoiced and celebrating their victory in relief. However the downed ships were leaking out a strange glowing green ooze into streams, gutters, and oceans and contaminated the air with toxic vapors...

Weeks later, Dr. Beaumont and other scientists had discovered that the alien's fuel for their saucer is highly radioactive and it increases the size of the molecular structure at an accelerated rate. The fuel infects human, animal and plant life, turning them into giant mutant monsters! While the fuel had awakened ancient kaiju that had once roamed the planet many eons ago. Enraged by the radiation, these gigantic beasts had rampaged across the planet attacking every major city, leaving a path of destruction. The United Nations had created a global organization, the Global Defense Alliance. Military personal salvaged any downed, intact space craft they could find and extract the radioactive fuel so that scientists could research and study it's composition. Dr. Cedric Beaumont and his team had reverse engineered the mutagen's radioactive properties, changed its color from green to blue and naming it the Alpha-Serum.

The GDA Initially intended the air-based form of the serum to end the monster scourge but it changed and calmed most of them from destructive, aggressive and hostile, to gentle, benevolent and instinctively protective while other mutants were surprisingly immune to the effects so the government had other plans for its use for a top-secret super soldier enhancement program. With more new monsters appearing, the GDA had plans to create titans of their own to combat the rampaging mutants. They built giant advanced battle mechs that were infused with the serum as limitless power source. Seconds after activation, the mechas have gained sentience with the Alpha Serum increasing their artificial intelligence and took on their lives and existence of defending humanity. Unbeknownst to human and monster alike... the alien invaders have returned, stronger and more advanced then ever before! The War of the Monsters had begun...

Stages/Arenas
There are 28 maps. Each have Large and Extra-Large. They can now be changed from day to night and most stages will show off environmental and weather effects such as moving clouds. Striking Buildings will cause them to shake, shatter windows,

 * 1) Kaiju Isle(XL): A large, tropical island in the middle of the ocean. It serves as the hub and home of Gigazaur, . The "ground level" consists of huge rock formations tower above the jungle and can be climbed or toppled over, but the foliage hides numerous observatories, helipads, and laser turrets. The high-tech scientific base lays nestled in the center of the island and provides many nasty weapons if successfully destroyed. The island also has a large lake w/h few underwater tunnels and 3 waterfalls. There is a an-yet dormant volcano on the far right of the map; dive-bombing a bare stretch of rock at the side of it will cause it to cave in, revealing a sloping entry passage into the “basement”, a series subterranean caverns lit by giant glowing crystals and bioluminescent mushrooms which can be either destroyed or used as thrown items. Stalactites and stalagmites abound in this lower level, and ground-pounding certain areas can send stalactites falling from the ceiling, impaling monsters they hit.
 * 1) Midtown Park(XL): Identical to the original map, but now set in the daytime in a cloudy day. The news helicopters have been replaced by military ones that will scour the level with searchlights and attack monsters with machine guns. The map is also expanded, including more additional buildings, skyscrapers, a mock Empire State Building to destroy, and a large forested park, giving players more room to maneuver and more structures to damage or otherwise mess with.
 * 1) Gambler's Gulch(L): Identical to the original map, but now set at night. The lights and neon signs are more prominent than ever, but the lights become dark as they are destroyed. The area perimeter has expanded for player have more maneuver and to include more climbable buildings, casinos and grand hotels to destroy and it includes a small river. The dragon head on the pagoda can now be used as a flamethrower as well as an explosive. The Rock & Roll globe can now be lifted two-handed and thrown in the same manor as a boulder, but is so heavy that carrying moves the players slowly. Even Alpha Man and Godiva can be heard straining while lifting and carrying it.
 * 1) Rosdale Canyon(L): Updated from the original map and greatly expanded to include the surrounding desert. Military vehicles, like tanks can be found. The giant ant hill can now spawn giant red ants and the bunker doors have been replaced with bigger, sturdier-looking ones. In place of the small turrets are four heavy cannons that will fire at nearby monsters. New environmental effects like sun glare, heat blur, and dust trails from monster movement have been added. Players can now climb out of the canyon and explore some of the surrounding wasteland to find grab-able rocks, military vehicles, and even downed UFOs being towed away.
 * 1) Metro City(L): Updated and expanded from the original map with more tall buildings. Destroying any of the skyscrapers in the center to topple or collapse will create a giant dust cloud. The blimp is now reachable as well and can be shot down, resulting in a massive explosion when it hits the ground.
 * 2) Century Airfield(L). Identical to the original map, but now expanded to include water around the perimeter deep enough to dive in; the city across the bay is lit up with light reflecting on the water. Sirens blare from the control towers when a plane is incoming, and all three can now be totally destroyed. Battle ships and a Fleet Carrier surrounds and circles the land mass.
 * 1) Atomic Island(L). Identical to the original map, save for the updated power lines. The central reactor is no longer indestructible and dealing enough damage to it will eventually trigger a core meltdown. A countdown will appear on the player's screen like in WOTM1's Adventure Mode, then all five reactors will go up in a massive explosion, dealing significant damage and changing the map. The entire inner circle collapses into a debris-filled crater. Parts of the complex remain on the edge, including the vent building which lets players temporarily fill the crater with toxic waste.
 * 1) Baytown(XL): Identical to the original map; earthquake included, but also has an additional extended zone. The suspension bridge seen in the background can now be interacted with, and monsters can either climb on it or destroy it. The bridge itself is the only platform stretching over the large bay taking up most of the new map, but monsters can also dive into the bay, where they can pick up pieces of sunken boats at the sea floor and do battle with the mutated sea life that spawns indefinitely in the waters of the bay. The only noticeable change is that some of the boats are actually moving around in the bay and there are a few small UFOs.
 * 1) Los Cielos(L): A heavily modified and somewhat expanded version of Mini Baytown from the first game, save for a large crack in the earth which can be found by destroying a building at the top of the map. Dive bombing the crack will cause a tremor that shakes the ground, stunning and throwing any monster that isn't in the air.
 * 2) Club Caldera (L): An updated remake and greatly expanded version of the original map, to include water around the perimeter deep enough to dive in, with an additional area included consisting of a colorful, tropical coral reef, rife with boulders and coral formations to pick up and put to use. Navy submarines can be seen underwater and they can shoot torpedos at any monster in range but can be destroyed and used as melee weapons. Many Tropical fish will also scatter if monsters enter the ocean. Two smaller islands are further out near the perimeter. The cruise ship now circles the island instead of staying in place along with an GDA air carrier hovering above the map. The island is much larger to feature a thick jungle to surround the base of the volcano away from the resort city. The volcanic eruption that can be triggered is more dangerous that can cause a lava flow.
 * 1) Tsunopolis. Identical to the original map, though the coast area is expanded to include water deep enough to dive in while the land it's is also been expanded to be more closer to the main land with additional buildings. After a tsunami is triggered the level will remain temporarily flooded (waist deep for the monsters) for a short period of time. The tsunamis also do damage to buildings now, but still can't destroy them. Each time one hits it “washes away” the rubble on the ground, reshuffling debris to random spots on the map.
 * 1) Saxton Hill(L): A European city modeled after London. It has facsimiles of every prominent landmark: the Big Ben, the Tower of London, the London Bridge, the London Eye, etc. All of these can be destroyed, though the clock tower and ferris wheel will crush monsters they fall on. The map noticeably has an enormous river running through it, which is deep enough for monsters to dive in and recover bits of shipwrecks to toss at enemies.
 * 2) Bunker 51-A(XL): A new map at a familiar location: this is the inside of the top secret base, at Rosdale Canyon.. This is the first map to have to levels The upper area is dimly lit and very open with destructible crates, scaffolding, and forklifts in place of cars. Other objects of interest include crashed UFOs, stasis tubes with dead Zorgulons inside, and parts of Goliath Prime prototypes that provide throwable pieces when destroyed. There are five metal support beams throughout the center of the main level which can be destroyed; doing so will cause the ceiling in the center of the map to collapse, crushing monsters beneath it and illuminating the map with sunlight. The lower level includes giant sized holding cells that are designed to contain captured monsters.

Unlockable
Weather: Snowstorm. Weather: Sandstorm.
 * 1) The Mothership(XL): An updated remake version of the UFO level from the original game. A large map set in the interior of the Zorgulon race's grandest flag ship. Set apart by its alien architecture, it is fully indoors with a giant, circular corridor surrounding an extraterrestrial city. The urban area is wide and flat with many destructible buildings, a glowing green slime fountain, Zorgulon statues, and a park complete with alien creatures that sometimes fly out like the birds at Blackwater. Ramps lead to the surrounding corridor, which is much more confined with fewer destructible items. Laser turrets, track vehicles, and valuable powerups can be found here, as well as forcefield-windows giving a view of outer space. UFOs can be seen leaving the ship and heading to Earth and the Mothership is surrounded by a vast fleet outside.
 * 2) The Capitol(L): An updated remake and expanded version of the original map from the first game. Aside from the boss area, players will now have access to most of the city, which includes plenty of buildings to destroy, a mock Smithsonian complex, and a river with water deep enough to wade in. The monument briefly shown in the first game is now accessible and can be climbed, and toppling it can crush monsters under it.
 * 3) Volcano(L): A modified and extended version of the Volcano. It is the Birthplace of Magmo.
 * 4) GDA Central:
 * 5) Westland Row: A huge European city modeled after London. This map has a cloudy sky and a bluish tint; it's always raining. It has a small bay, a destructible bridge which is large enough for monsters to cross, and a railway station with throwable trains. It has a few skyscrapers as well as a giant clock tower that can be toppled over. As an extra environmental hazard, monsters standing on top of skyscrapers may be randomly struck by lightning- especially if they're holding something metal.
 * 6) La Phare(XL): A large European city modeled after Paris at night. It has elaborate, classic looking architecture illuminated by beautiful lights. Notable features include an ornate cathedral with gargoyles, arches, illuminated fountains, and a mock Eiffel Tower. Most of the buildings are only medium height, but the tower is colossal and can be climbed by multiple monsters. If destroyed it will sink into the ground and create a cloud of smoke. At night, the city is lit up by numerous lights, especially from the tower, though these lights have the disadvantage of attracting mutant insects like moths to a flame. Like Gambler’s Gulch, the more the city is destroyed, the darker it becomes.
 * 7) Harboros(L): A South American coastal city based on Rio de Janeiro. The city is bordered by a dense jungle on one side and a massive bay in the other. The bay is deep enough to swim and dive in and has no shortage of dangerous sea life, and is bordered by climbable cliffs. The jungle also has enormous trees that can be ripped up and used as bludgeons. Aside from a crushable village and some boats that can be picked up, this level doesn't have much to interact with and is very open. There is a chemical plant at the far end of the shore that can be dive-bombed, however, triggering the release of toxic waste and temporarily making all of the water harmful.
 * 8) Powder Valley: A ski resort high in the mountains, this level is covered in snow and has climbable cliffs and peaks. Other features include throwable boulders, a chair lift, and an avalanche that can be triggered by causing a lot of destruction. The avalanche is a one time occurrence but will bury any monsters it hits and changes the geography of the level.
 * 1) Nethir Strip: A flat/slope large-sized map modeled after Cairo, Egypt. It has harsh sunlight, heat blur effects, and even mirages on the horizon. While it includes a vast and very densely populated city, it also has open expanses of desert with only dunes, shallow lakes, and rivers. The main attractions are colossal ancient structures like climbable pyramids, a temple to the sun god, and an obelisk that can topple over and crush monsters. Sandstorms will occur unexpectedly.
 * 1) Chernoburg: A fairly large, industrial city with highways, power lines, factories, and tall smokestacks. The sky is discolored with pollution and the smokestacks constantly put out smog. Destroying the largest of these factories will temporarily blanket the entire level in smog, making it hard to see opponents. There is a polluted river to the East that will harm monsters if they walk in it.
 * 2) Hyudo: A large Japanese city inspired by Kyoto. It has smaller buildings and older architecture than Tsunopolis, featuring temples, shrines, and pagodas. Part of the map is a forest with hills, cherry blossoms, and a shallow lake. A huge mock Mt. Fuji can be seen on the horizon.
 * 3) Zayah Playa(L). A beautiful seaside metropolis modeled after Cancun and the United Arab Emirates. Nearly half of the area is ocean with an abundance of deeper water, active boats, a cruise ship, battle ships, three aircraft carriers, and chains of small islands. Sandy beachfront property teeming with tourists extends across the length of the map, leading to heavily developed land farther in. There are numerous resorts, hotels, and shimmering skyscrapers to destroy.
 * 4) Laethria: An ancient, tourist-heavy European city modeled after Greece. Most of the terrain is hilly and sloped with villages and roads, gradually leading down to a vertical cliff face that overhangs a sandy beach and rock formations. Monsters can jump down to fight on the beach or wade in the water, but the cliff can be damaged like the sides of a skyscraper, throwing climbers and dropping debris. Farther up the hill there are boulders, ancient ruins, and a titanic Colosseum big enough for monsters to climb and fight in. It can be damaged in several places and takes a long time to destroy, but will eventually sink into the ground and leave a giant cloud of dust.
 * 5) Totonacān: A Central American jungle setting which is dominated by the ruins of a city belonging to an ancient Mesoamerican civilization. The edges of the map are dominated by a dense, bug-infested jungle, from which tropical birds will scatter if monsters pass through. Many of the buildings have already been reduced to crumbling ruins, and the destructible walls surrounding the city are decorated with massive, vine-covered statues. Boulders, giant wooden stakes, and the bones of bygone mega-fauna can be found throughout the city and can be used as weapons. The highlight of the map is an enormous step-pyramid with a sacrificial altar at the top surrounded by spears and torches, whose frontispiece is a massive rock-hewn throne which can be broken off its base and used like a boulder.
 * 6) Dunsmouth: A New England-inspired coastal town shrouded in eerie mist. The map is divided into two parts: a small fishing town with numerous cobbled streets and shops, and a bay deep enough to dive in. These two regions are separated by a steep cliff, which is treated like a skyscraper but can also be damaged, throwing off climbers and sending rocks tumbling towards the water. The town, which runs down a sloping hill from the top of the cliff to the harbor at the edge of the bay, does not feature any significant landmarks, but the buildings near the harbor are in a horrible state of decay and almost all of them can be easily destroyed. A small factory can also be seen at the center of the town, which releases a brief cloud of toxic smoke when destroyed. In the bay, the water is murky, cold, and turbulent; underwater, it is difficult to see very far, but when reaching the bottom, players can find numerous shipwrecks, rocks, and pieces of debris to make use of. Like Harboros and Tsunopolis, a large UFO can be seen in the distance, which triggers a tsunami that temporarily floods the level and scatters debris throughout various parts of the town.
 * 7) Umbara Island: TBA

Stages

 * Betelguse V: The Zorgulon home planet. This rocky, extraterrestrial map has purplish soil and a cosmic night sky with a clear view of the stars and galaxies. While seemingly outdoors, it is actually all housed within a transparent forcefield that locks in its atmosphere. Everything outside is barren and inhospitable, with craters and the ruins of alien cities littering the horizon. The dome is by no means small and contains multiple well-defended cities, a wasteland with rock formations and boulders, and jagged mountains holding secret passageways. Earth is nowhere in sight, though there are distant planets, stars and passing asteroids and comets.
 * Cuchilcán: A Mayan city in ruins with a huge step pyramid on it. Its filled with boulders, pillars and diggers used for archeological matters. The pyramid is big enough to be climb and can be destroyed by lots of melee attacks or dive bombs; doing so will reveal a huge chamber with sacrifice altars, statues that can be grabbled and a stone Mayan club big enough to be used as a special weapon.
 * The Ultra Hanger: A huge subterranean dark and cavernous place with letters written in Japanese. Remains of Robots similar to Ultra-V are there but rusted and off in capsule-like chambers They can be destroyed and used as weapons. At the end of the level there is a huge computer with a big screen that can be destroyed, also there are big futuristic weapons like laser canons or plasma guns, but they only can shoot once (but still can used as bludgeons).
 * ShaoLong Mountains: Based on the Himalayan mountains a snowy, rocky and sheer mountainside, with a great abyss at the end of it, falling or sent flying into it will cause instant death. There is a Shaolin temple in the middle of the level with useful things like dragon statues, a great gong that can be used as a two hand boulder. The temple itself can be destroyed but should be done without a dive-bomb because doing that will cause an avalanche that cause instant death (flyers, borrowers and good jumpers can avoid it).

Gameplay
War of the Monsters retains most of the previous elements of the original PlayStation 2 title such as the players take the roles of large monsters in city environments and players are allowed to roam freely within the city area, which allows climbing of jumping from buildings and cliffs. The game plays as a fighting game yet works differently than the traditional online multiplayer one-on-one structured rounds. Instead, stages can include up to 10 players in a eight way fighting structure. The camera is in third-person perspective. It reboot also features many of the updated textures, visual effects, enhanced high definition graphics and performance improvements.

Monsters now have a status HUD on the lower left corner of the screen and features three gauge bars; health, rage and stamina. Like the standard fighting game formula, every time a monster takes damage, their overall Health bar drops until it is completely depleted, resulting in player defeat.

When the player picks up another monster, he can throw through buildings to see the inner structure of the buildings. There are objects and weapons in the game such as cars, plane, boats, trucks, Radio tower, gas tanks, debris, tanks can be found in any level split in 3 groups: Club, Spear, and throwable items. They're Weapons may be used to do extra damage to enemies, spears (Radio towers, broken pipe or bars) can stun enemies, but once they get it out they will throw it back at you. Clubs (Steel Beams, parts on buildings) can be used to do more damage from hitting other monsters, and can be thrown. Some may have a special effect, such as exploding and catching a monster on fire or a generator that can be used to shock a monster. Large throwable items like cruise ships, boulders and small buildings can be found on the map. Aircraft carriers will also be featured on aquatic areas as platforms or throwable weapons.

Monster have they're combos and special abilities and have new tricks while an opponent's in the air, the player can grab it and throws it towards the ground. And in most stages, they have hazardous areas like very tall buildings, deep water which, some monsters have the ability to swim in underwater areas. Rang attacks are now used with R1 button wile the Square button performs light melee attacks.

New Mechanics ad Specific changes

 * New improved gameplay. The camera is updated and now more active, eliminating blind-spots and frustration. The lock-on feature is more advanced that allows players to handle multi-monster fights better. AI or CPU controlled monsters will also attack the nearest monster on the field rather than targeting the player, and will choose to attack the player rather than chase after power ups if their health or energy is above a certain threshold.


 * Free-For-All is now up to 12 monsters capacity in the destructable environment.


 * New structures, vehicles and weapons. Certain buildings will create vision-obscuring clouds of smoke or dust when destroyed and toppled. These can be strategically targeted by players to blind enemies or make a quick escape.


 * Animations: Each character has four different taunts using the directional buttons.
 * Elemental damage. Monsters can inflict and can be weak/resistant to Six different elements: Fire, Lightning, Ice, Poison, Energy, or Wind


 * Environmental hazards and objects.
 * Power lines serve as a new environmental hazard, electrocuting any monster who touches them and dealing heavy damage. Unlike in WOTM1, they appear in numerous levels and can be destroyed (though a projectile is the only safe way). The downed poles can then be picked up as a new type of debris weapon: when swung, the live wires lash out like a whip and electrocute opponents. They lose their charge after one use but can still be thrown or used as bludgeons.
 * AI-controlled military vehicles now appear on some maps regardless of which Gameplay mode. This serves as an environmental hazard, but also allows players to pick up tanks and missile launchers and use them like guns as they did in WOTM1's Adventure Mode. Fighter jets as a new hostile military vehicle. They fly at extremely high speed and pass over monsters in groups, whittling away their health with guerilla warfare. Most monsters can't move fast enough or jump high enough to hit them directly, but they can be targeted and destroyed with any kind of projectile. If successfully grabbed, they can be used like machine guns. Submarines will appear in
 * Cement trucks are new grab-able vehicles. Like gas trucks, they will rupture when thrown, but instead of exploding they splatter cement on their target. Monsters hit by a cement truck will gradually slow down and turn gray for a few seconds. The status can be negated by water or being thrown by a heavy attack or explosion; if left unchecked the monster will fully harden and must struggle free.
 * Firetrucks are new/revamped grab-able vehicles. Like tanks and turrets, they can be picked up and used, spraying water at other monsters. Being sprayed by water can interrupt melee attacks, but not deal damage. In cooperative modes it can also be used to help allies who are on fire or covered in cement.
 * Radiation transport trucks are new grab-able vehicle. These tank-hauling vehicles are used by the military to suck up the leaked alien fuel and haul it away to safe locations to be process as the Alpha Serum. If thrown, they will burst and splatter the target with radioactive goo, instantly giving them full energy. Useful for cooperative modes, but don't throw it at an enemy by mistake.


 * Fires last much longer, produce clouds of smoke and can damage buildings, thus setting them a blaze, and objects can now be caught on fire as well. Picking up most flaming debris will harm the player, but longer items like girders and “spears” can be picked up safely. All objects cause extra damage when on fire.
 * New powerups include:
 * Weather effects: Certain power-ups can now be spawned that can change the level based on five different types of weather; downpour, thunderstorm, blizzard, heatwave, meteor shower.
 * Armor Cube: When collected, the player will become shiny chrome with glowing white eyes. Armored monsters move slower than normal, but take half the damage they normally would and cannot be dazed, pushed, juggled, or thrown. It's duration is the same as the Invisibility powerup.


 * In addition to the reboot, stages now have a “day”, "dawn", "afternoon", "dusk", and “night” setting, which may change up the aspects of certain maps; while Adventure Mode’s levels have set modes for story purposes, in free-for-all matches, the time of day for the selected map can be chosen optionally, and in online matches, it is selected at random.
 * Certain stages have deep water (knee, waist or chest height for monsters), the water now has two depth types, shallow and deep. Shallow water shallow enough that it can be waded through (the same as it was in WOTM1), and deeper water which will impede the monster movement by half if waded through, and some have bodies of water deep enough to permit swimming and diving, which is controlled in a similar manner to flying except with buoyancy and varying swimming speeds. If a player submerges, a powder blue “Air” bar will appear under the health bar denoting how much air they have left before they start losing health. Certain monsters are not slowed by wading or swimming and a few can even remain underwater indefinitely, without an Air bar, and/or enjoy boosted movement speed while swimming. You can fight while underwater also and jumping into oceans will cause a big splash
 * Gigazaur, Karkarios, Amphibious, Melkeor, Crocogator, Jörmungand, Mokarrak and Octophyte can move much faster and swim freely underwater and have no air bar.


 * Pinning Attacks. If the player jumps, falls, or divebombs onto an enemy monster, they will damage and pin the enemy under them, rendering them immobile in the same manner as by grabbing them. They can then mash either the light or heavy attack buttons to repeatedly pummel them while they're down and/or pick them up after stepping off of them. Certain monsters which inflict contact damage will take normal damage, but also damage monsters that attempt to pin them.

Mimic Monsters
Similar to the Echo Fighters of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, They are describe characters who are considered an almost complete clone of another character. sharing essentially all of the main attributes of the original character (such as speed, jumps, strength and weight), In addition, Mandrilla, ?, Vectus Maximus and Zetius are Mimic Monsters of Gigazaur, Alpha Man, Congar, Magmo, Colossus. And Mimic Monsters only have three alternative skins.


 * For example, Zetius plays virtually identically to Gigazaur, sharing every single move and attribute. However, he has various different animations, visual effects and special attack.
 * Characters who are Mimic Monsters are denoted by the lower-case Epsilon (ε).

Weapons and Objects
Cars, trucks, transformers, airplanes, jets, boats, radio towers, debris,

Normal Objects
All of these actions are possible while holding an object. Many of these functions spill over into the other objects as well.


 * Pressing any attack with object in-hand will attack with the object inflicting more damage. Eventually the in-hand object will "break" and be destroyed, however.


 * Press block with an object in hand to let it absorb some or all damage. Again, eventually the object will be destroyed.


 * Press Circle to throw object. Note that this can be combined with target pinning to help the player aim, but even without target pinning the game will attempt to assist the player’s aim automatically to a lesser degree.

Clubs
Club weapons follow the same format as the punches, including stun hits, shoves, uppercuts, etc... They vary in that they inflict more damage and have more range


 * Using the Club at the proper time a thrown object is coming at them will actually reflect the shot back to where it came from.


 * Club can take limited damage, so be wary during attack sequences of suddenly going from armed to unarm as the bat is destroyed.

Spears
Spear weapons feature all of the normal object and club functions with a modification on what occurs when thrown.


 * Unlike normal objects and club that are destroyed when thrown, spears will actually impale their targets, momentarily immobilizing them.


 * When Speared, the victim needs to mash on buttons to pull the spear free


 * Note: Spears can, to a very limited extent, be "re-used". Within the first throw or two, the spear can actually be pulled out and thrown by the victim at another opponent. After the first one or two throws, however, the spear will simply be destroyed on impact and no longer impale.
 * Spears cannot usually be blocked, but can be caught!
 * Some characters will be immune to spears such as Alpha-Man, Godiva, etc.

Explosives
This covers elements such as power transformers, tanker trucks, airplanes, fuel tanks, etc.


 * These objects are used like any other normal objects except that upon their destruction they explode.


 * Power transformers release an electrical explosion when thrown.


 * Tanker trucks, fuel tanks, etc. explode with great force as well as light the victim on fire.


 * Airplanes and the like simply carry concussive force with no fire effect


 * When at close range, these objects will be used as a bludgeon automatically, just like any other object. This means that when they are destroyed in this fashion, the secondary effect will be unleashed. Beware of getting caught in the blast!

Weather Effects

 * Monsoon: The sky is darkened by thunderclouds, and massive torrential rain blankets the area. Any ground-floor parts of the map become covered in knee-high water, and deep-water levels become deep enough to dive and swim in. Fires extinguish a lot faster and fire-based attacks deal less damage; by contrast, Lightning attacks deal more damage and gain a greater range. While aquatic monsters benefit from this level, lightning strikes are also a prominent hazard, striking buildings, monsters, or the ground or water. Climbing and flying monsters in particular must gamble between the hazardous water and the risk of being hit by lightning, making maps under the effects Monsoons especially challenging. Ground vehicles and minions are destroyed in the flood.


 * Hurricane: Storm clouds roll in from the horizon, and strong winds start buffeting the entire map. Debris, items, vehicles, and minions that aren’t secured are blown away (power-ups and health/energy spheres aren’t affected), and may hit and damage monsters as if they were thrown. The direction of the wind changes randomly, and any monster that tries to move against the wind will be drastically slowed. Flyers and monsters that inflict Wind damage thrive in Hurricanes due to the high winds sharply increasing flight speed and jump distance as well as Wind attacks being drastically increased in range and power. By contrast, chemical and radioactive fumes are blown away by the wind, meaning Poison attacks and hazards deal less damage.


 * Acid Rain: The sky is covered by sickly dark-green clouds, and lime-green rain starts pouring over the map. This is similar to Monsoon sans lightning, but with one critical difference: the rain is toxic. Monsters that don’t take shelter before the rain falls will take gradual damage over time, and may lose a lot of health until they reach “safe zones” throughout the map. The ground floor of the level will also become covered with deadly acid that damages any monster that steps in it, and also generates a toxic fog that serves as a ground hazard. Poison-resistant monsters are immune to the effects of Acid Rain and gain a boost in power to their ranged and special attacks. By contrast, Wind-element monsters can’t stand inhaling the deadly fumes and take a steep penalty to their ranged and special attacks. As with the Monsoon, ground vehicles and minions are destroyed in the flood.


 * Drought: The clouds in the sky clear up and the sun begins to shine brightly and harshly upon the map. Shallow water quickly evaporates, and even deep water becomes shallow with the exception of the ocean. Fire attacks and hazards as well as explosions deal more damage, fires last much longer, and monsters that have been frozen can free themselves more quickly. Vehicles take no penalties, but minions have their attack speed and damage reduced. Ice-based attacks and hazards also deal less damage. This weather condition can only occur during the daytime.


 * Blizzard: Winter clouds overtake the sky and icy winds and snow begin to pummel the map. The random one-directional winds are similar to Hurricane, but while they don’t slow monsters’ movement speed as much, they reduce attack speed as well. Patches of snow may cover the ground, though monsters that trudge through them leave a trail of exposed ground as they go (unless they hover naturally and can float over them). However, patches of slippery ice may develop instead in some places, causing monsters that step on them to slip and fall over, slide around randomly without player-controlled movement, and in general find it more difficult to move. Ice-based attacks and freezing deal more damage with their status duration increased, while heat-based attacks deal slightly less damage. Electrical devices have a tendency to freeze up and fail in the cold, however, and Lightning-based attacks deal less damage and suffer a shorter range. Ground vehicles take a harsh penalty in terms of movement speed.

Trivia

 * Gigazaur serves as a replacement for Togera from from the original game and is very identical to his Kings of Tokyo counterpart as well as named after. Though Togera is a post launch downloadable content character.
 * Alpha Man and Godiva are the only non-monster characters introduce in the remake. And they are the only characters that have free alternate costumes. They can be heard straining and struggling when picking up larger boulders or larger objects
 * Alpha Man's origin is spoof of Captain America and He-Man. They both gain well-muscle physique through enhancements.
 * Gunfire Games based Alpha-Man's appearance and personality on bodybuilder Mike O'Hearn facial likeness; Marvel's Captain America; and He-Man's 200x overly-ripped musculature.
 * Godiva is a combination of the 50-foot Woman and She-Hulk from 1996 Incredible Hulk animated series. This speculates of due to Godiva has the body-type of She-Hulk. She is also has the facial likeness and resemblance of IFBB Bikini Pro, Sarah Leblanc in her late 20s.
 * Unlike genuine gorillas, Congar has many bald patches across his limbs as well as his face and body. Furthermore he has brown fur rather than black, reflecting that he's a chimpanzee rather than a gorilla.
