Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered, a remake of the 2002 Pipeworks Software title, is currently available as a demo via Steam Next Fest. The reviewer notes that the game successfully captures the charm of the Showa-era Godzilla films, balancing silliness with serious action, and remains enjoyable even for those without nostalgia for the original release.
The gameplay remains largely faithful to the original, featuring a single-player Destruction mode for city-wrecking and a Versus mode for local, CPU, or online combat. Players control sluggish monsters that handle well once adjusted to the mechanics, utilizing stage pickups like the Atari-branded Mothra air strike. While the online mode functions adequately, the reviewer observed occasional jitter during matches.
The demo provides a limited roster consisting of Godzilla, King Ghidorah, and Gigan. The reviewer expressed confusion regarding the exclusion of the new Showa-era Mechagodzilla, which is a key selling point for the remake, suggesting it would have been a more compelling choice for the limited playable cast.
Despite the limited roster, the reviewer recommends the demo to anyone interested in kaiju combat. They suggest that players interested in the game's aesthetic might also enjoy exploring the Showa-era films in release order to appreciate the series' tonal evolution.
