The earth is besieged by Godzilla and monsters, and is in a critical situation. Who will be the ultimate winner, human wisdom or the instincts of the monsters? A highly challenging yet simple simulation game to play! Just choose the commands from the "pop-up" menu and all operations can be done easily. Concentrate on your battle strategy and destroy all the enemy monsters on the earth. Popular monsters are up against the newest "smart" weapons! As the commander of the Allied Defense Forces, you place those controversial smart weapons on the map. Fire and attack as you see fit. There are even some monsters that come to the aid of the Allied Defense Forces!

Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters on NES is a confusing mess. Sure, it's fun to stomp around as Godzilla and atomic breath everything, but the strategy elements are clunky and the enemy sprites look like blobs. More frustrating fun than strategic masterpiece.
In the continuing struggle to try to figure out what a Godzilla game should even be, this time they landed on 'dull turn-based strategy game'. Still has good art, and a fun roster (of enemies - this time you play as the humans), but that's about it. If I was a kid with no other games but this and literally all the time in the world, I could maybe see myself getting invested in this.
Obviemos por un rato que la secuela no tiene nada que ver con su primer entrega.
¿Quien fue el idiota que pensó que de forma no irónica, un sistema de combate al azar basado en una máquina tragaperras es una buena idea?
Este elemento destruye por completo la experiencia jugable.
Si el primer Godzilla de NES era un escupo a la cara, la bazofia de secuela es una dura patada en los huevos.
Me gusta el concepto base de comandar un ejército en mapeados reminiscentes al Fire Emblem, así como la interactividad de los escenarios. Los científicos te otorgan pistas, y hay cierto nivel de estrategia en cómo organizas a tus vehículos.
Fuera de eso, el juego es un completo desastre.
Es injusto de principio a fin, tanto que los monstruos se pueden regenerar vida una vez acabado los turnos, y hay una cantidad absurda de tiempo muerto donde no haces nada.
Esto se nota más en las batallas contra Baragon. El bastardo se esconde de tus ataques, se regenera toda la vida, y no hay indicadores claros para saber dónde emergerá a tierra.
Que se joda este juego.

Core idea is good, but it's still a bad SRPG lol. Music is weirdly more basic than the original?
When I rented (and then later came to own) the first Godzilla game on NES, as a young kid who was JUST starting to get into Godzilla, and gradually see every monster movie in general that I could get my hands on, I was delighted. It was a repetitive, but fun action game. So imagine my shock, when I excitedly rented Godzilla 2, only to discover that it was...a strategy game.
As a kid, I had no idea what a "strategy" game was, and it certainly too me awhile to figure out exactly what the hell was going on (to this day, I STILL don't 100% understand the silly "slot machine" mechanic during battles). But while I initially was disgusted that this wasn't more action-y monster fights, it eventually began to grow on me. Enough that it was one of the rare games that I actually "wasted" a SECOND rental on. As a kid, I usually tried to always rent things I hadn't played yet, because I wanted to experience as many games as possible (video games, especially NES games, were magic to me child me). But on my first rental of Godzilla 2, I only managed to try a handful of the 12 different scenarios, and so I later rented it again, so I could see more!
It's certainly not an amazing game, but it is a quality, simple little strategy game, where-in you play Earth Defense forces, trying to defend cities from attacking monsters (and sometimes aliens). This game really grew on me, over time, and I quite enjoy it now. If you like Godzilla, and are into a simple but fun strategy experience that requires some thought and planning, then definitely give this game a try.
