“

Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla and more Toho monsters will rampage across an 8x8 grid to defeat the Fungoid mushroom invasion in strategic turn-based combat.

On each stage, you'll have to grapple with different monsters and try different approaches as you strive for victory. Repeat stages and aim to earn more points!

You can also build your own stages and share them for other players to try. Your ranking will increase as more players attempt stages you've created, so make a stage with your favorite monsters and share it with the world! Original Story Why have the Fungoids come to invade our world? Why is Godzilla fighting on our side? Find the Investigation Reports scattered across various stages to unravel the mystery.
