The Battle of the Gigantic Monsters

The Battle of the Gigantic Monsters is a 3D fighting game for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii-U developed by Pipeworks Software and published by Capcom. The game was released on September 23, 2015 in North America and October 16, 2015 in Europe. It was later released in Japan on November 11, 2015.
The game is set in the aftermath of an alien invasion of Earth where their mutation fuels have spawned giant monsters that battle one another in city environments. The game pays homage to Kaiju and science fiction films.
== Gameplay ==
In The Battle of the Gigantic Monsters, players take the roles of large monsters in city environments. The game plays as a fighting game yet works differently from the traditional one-on-onestructured rounds. Instead, fights can include up to 4 players in a four-way simultaneous fighting structure. The camera is in third person perspective, allowing the player to focus solely on their character.
Monsters have two status bars in each game, health 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. Stamina determines how much energy a monster can attack with. The bar drops if a monster picks up another foe or performs a ranged attack. If the bar is full, a monster can perform special attacks, whereas if the bar is completely drained, they become temporarily immobilized.
Also unlike most fighting games, players are allowed to roam freely within the city area, which allows climbing of jumping from buildings and cliffs. Monsters can use the environment to deal out damage to their foes by making weapons of various objects found within the city, such as vehiclesand rubble as projectiles, steel girders and stone columns as clubs and radio antennae as a spear to impale others, temporarily stunning them. There are also some environment pick-ups, which can increase health or stamina, appearing as green or blue orbs and floating radioactive signs. Buildings can be destroyed if a monster directly attacks or is thrown into it. In some cities, taller buildings can topple over sideways that can crush other monsters, killing them instantly. In the Adventure mode, along with a series of set fights with other monsters, boss battles are also present. They are much larger than the standard playable monsters and required certain strategies to defeat. "Tokens" can also be earned through Adventure mode, which can be spent at the "Unlocks" shop to unlock more cities, monsters, and monster skins. And you also can unlock mini-games like dodge ball or city destruction.
Multiplayer options allow four players via split-screen, which can be set to merge into one screen when the players are close enough to fit on the same screen.
== Plot ==
The plot is set in the 1950s where a fleet of alien flying saucer warships invade the Earth, causing massive damage. The scientists of the world's nations manage to create a series of secret weapons, which, when activated, let loose shock waves that short-circuit the saucers and cause them to crash. Unfortunately, each flying saucer is fueled by a green radioactive liquid, which leaks out from destroyed crafts as they crash. Through this, the fuel infects creatures, humans, and robots, creating a war between the monsters. The player acts as one of these monsters and battles against the rest in fictional cities across the globe and the remaining UFOs.
The story mode of the game starts out in New York where a reptilian monster called Kyodaryu defeats a fire breath of military forces but is fought and defeated by the lead monster.
In Las Vegas, the lead monster also defeats the prehistoric beast, Bokuhorn and attack the lead monster but are defeated as well. At a military base at Chicago, the lead monster is confronted by a horde of irradiated giant red mantis and a mega robot, Senshakyojin. Senshakyojin and the red mantis are all defeated.
In Hong Kong, the military decide to test their new weapon, Cybokon, on the giant mantis Kyodakiri and the giant cobra monster Kemonkobra, who was attacking the city. Before they could fight the lead monster appears and defeats them. The lead monster then travels to San Francisco and defeats the giant bat Danshibat and the twin dragons Gakegon.
Then, at the Los Angeles power plant, the lead monster defeats the giant crocodile monster Megawani and the raptor monster Sharptor, by causing a nuclear meltdown. In the resulting ruins, the lead monster must battle a large, three headed plant creature called Shokutsuna. The giant wolf monster Otokami and the giant black bear Gumagon attacks the UFOs in scenic Tokyo and then try to slay the lead monster. Both are beaten. In the Rio Grande do Sul, the rock monsters Yoganosaur and Golotem fight each other with the lead monster caught in the middle. Both are beaten.
After defeating two Mechanikaryu robots at Miyazaki, the lead monster is abducted by a UFO that takes it back to the mothership. There the lead monster has to fend off three Shokaseis before being abducted once more when the mothership explodes, causing the UFO to crash into the North American city of Capitol. There, the alien leader Crawlien attacks. After Crawlien is defeated, the lead monster victor watches as the last part of Crawlien, a small timid insect like creature flees. A short movie is shown about the monster's origin depending on who the player chooses.
