Couch Play is one of the two Player vs. Player modes, in which players will go up against each other or CPUs from two-four Titans in one gameplay session. Couch Play is where players who are in the same space can link up multiple controllers and play with one screen. There are three modes within Couch Play: Free for all, where all Titans are against each other, Team Battle, where two players will be placed on two teams and fight each other, and Mayhem, in which a random minigame will be chosen to occur while players are fighting. Players can choose to control any of the Titans that have been unlocked, with [[Gorogong]], [[Pipijuras]], [[Thundatross]], [[Woolley]], [[Skorak]], [[Gigaman]], and [[Rohanna]] already being playable, and [[Rawa]], [[Zyva]], and [[Kongkrete]] needing to be unlocked in Story Mode first. Players can also choose to have the game randomize which Titan they play as. Players will vote on an arena, or let the game choose randomly. Winning matches or performing specific tasks will earn players collectables and badges in the Extras mode.

GigaBash is a kaiju fighting game developed and independently published by Malaysian studio Passion Republic Games. It released for Windows, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 on August 5, 2022, and for Nintendo Switch and Xbox consoles on August 3, 2023.[1] While the base roster is comprised of original characters, a DLC pack containing four monsters from the Godzilla franchise was released on December 6, 2022. It was followed by another pack with four characters from the Ultra Series on November 8, 2023.[2]

Gameplay

Couch Play

Couch Play is one of the two Player vs. Player modes, in which players will go up against each other or CPUs from two-four Titans in one gameplay session. Couch Play is where players who are in the same space can link up multiple controllers and play with one screen. There are three modes within Couch Play: Free for all, where all Titans are against each other, Team Battle, where two players will be placed on two teams and fight each other, and Mayhem, in which a random minigame will be chosen to occur while players are fighting. Players can choose to control any of the Titans that have been unlocked, with Gorogong, Pipijuras, Thundatross, Woolley, Skorak, Gigaman, and Rohanna already being playable, and Rawa, Zyva, and Kongkrete needing to be unlocked in Story Mode first. Players can also choose to have the game randomize which Titan they play as. Players will vote on an arena, or let the game choose randomly. Winning matches or performing specific tasks will earn players collectables and badges in the Extras mode.

Online Mode

The second Player vs. Player mode, Online Mode allows players to connect and play with each other from across the world and across all platforms. There are four modes within Online Mode: Free-For-All, where all Titans are against each other; Team Battle, where two players will be placed on two teams and fight each other; Mayhem, in which a random minigame will be chosen to occur while players are fighting; and Quick Match, in which a player can join any open lobby for any of the modes, instead of waiting for a particular one. Players can choose to control any of the Titans that have been unlocked, with Gorogong, Pipijuras, Thundatross, Woolley, Skorak, Gigaman, and Rohanna already being playable, and Rawa, Zyva, and Kongkrete needing to be unlocked in Story mode first. Players can also choose to have the game randomize which Titan they play as. Players will vote on an arena, or let the game choose randomly. Winning matches or performing specific tasks will earn players collectables and badges in the Extras mode. Players can hold private matches, invite friends, and communicate via emotes in the character select screen.

Story Mode

Story mode is a set of four stories: The Legend of Luana Island, Project P.P.J.U.R.A.S, The Knight In Lighting Armor, and Wooley's Misadventures. The player will go from mission to mission, choosing the difficulty of each and progressing through the story. The player takes control of the kaiju Gorogong, Pipijuras, Thundatross, and Woolley, respectively, and will fight several other monsters from the base game's roster. Completing the missions or certain objectives will allow the player access to achievements, tokens, taunts, or subspecies, seen in the Extras section. After each story, the player unlocks a new Titan they could not previously play as, those characters being Rawa, Zyva, and Kongkrete.

Arcade Mode

Arcade Mode has a player choose a specific Titan to control and set a difficulty of easy, normal, or hard. The player will go through a total of nine stages in a random map against a random CPU Titan who has a random subspecies cosmetic. These stages will increase in difficulty, with successive opponents dealing more damage, possessing more health, and being controlled by better AI. The ninth stage always contains an S-Class final boss. The player is given three lives. At the end of the run or when a player loses all lives, a breakdown of their gameplay and how well they did is given to the player, as well as their high score for the set difficulty on the kaiju they played as.

Onslaught Mode

Onslaught Mode has either one or two players defeat endless waves of varying amounts of enemies. While playing, the wave number and icons indicating which enemies are present are displayed in the upper left-hand corner. During these waves, players may come across buffs that grant various positive effects to their chosen Titan. During the character select screen, the leader board for either co-op or single player is shown at the top depending on which is being played, and the global leaderboard scores are shown below it. This gamemode can reward the player with new cosmetics.

Extras

The Extras mode consists of information on the Titans of GigaBash: their profiles, lore, subspecies, movesets, taunts, and other collectables or tokens players earn through gameplay, such as concept art or music tracks.

Tutorial

The tutorial mode has players set up in a small space and teaches them how to play the game and use different abilities through text and button prompts, setting the player against a CPU for practice.

Gym

Gym serves as the game's testing arena, where players can set a CPU to a certain difficulty. Here, players can test out and practice their skills with the different Titans of the game, and the UI gives the information of: Total Damage, Damage, Damage Scaling, and Combo.

Trivia

  • This game marks the first Godzilla collaboration with a video game in the form of DLC, as opposed to a limited-time event.
  • The initial release date for the Godzilla DLC, December 9, coincided with the release day of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, with the characters it unlocks including Burning Godzilla (as part of Godzilla's S-Class form) and Destoroyah.
  • When Kiryu uses his ultimate move, an outline of the 1954 Godzilla can be briefly seen.
  • Although Godzilla's appearance in this game is based on his Heisei incarnation, the sound effect for his atomic breath charging up comes from the Monsterverse Godzilla.
  • Gigan's block special teleports him behind the enemy, an ability previously seen in Atari and Pipeworks games, specifically Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee and its sequel. One of his taunts completely recreates the intro animation from these games, as well as the PlayStation 2 version of Godzilla: Unleashed.
  • One of Rawa's taunts is a reference to Godzilla's shē (シェー) dance in Invasion of Astro-Monster. Godzilla can perform this dance as a taunt as well. Godzilla's dance was created with motion capture, while Rawa's was not due to COVID-19 restrictions earlier in the game's development.[7]
  • Destoroyah's initial biography erroneously called Godzilla Junior "Babygodzilla", which solely describes the character's form from Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II. However, this was later changed in an update.
  • Gigan's model possesses nostrils, although these were absent from the original Showa design it is based on.
  • Gigan's alternate skin is patterned after his appearance in Godzilla Final Wars, and his laser beam is based on the Scattered Light Beam Gigarium Cluster from this film.
  • Godzilla, Kiryu, Ultraman, and Ultraman Tiga were previously featured together in the 2017 video game City Shrouded in Shadow, although none of the Ultraman characters interacted with the Godzilla characters.
  • The game shares some similarities with the Monsterverse, including classifying Monsters as Titans and the presence of a Hollow Earth containing a mysterious energy source.
  • When Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga's health is low, their Color Timers will begin to blink. Upon defeat, each Ultra's eyes will go dark.
  • The game's Patch 1.3 allowed characters from the Godzilla and Ultraman DLCs to "beam clash" with each other, much like the Beam-Fight mechanic in the Atari-Pipeworks games Godzilla: Save the Earth and Godzilla: Unleashed. [8]
    • In the game's Patch 1.35, Gigaman was given this mechanic and currently is the only base game character able to.[9]
    • Gigan is the only DLC combatant who cannot enter a Beam Clash, due to his beam attacks being scattered rather than than solid beams.
