PlayStation Blog published a fighter guide for Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered and said the game launches on PlayStation 5 on November 3.
The post says the guide is meant to help players choose among 12 playable kaiju, each with distinct stats, movesets, and special abilities. It frames the choices by describing which characters fit certain playstyles and how their strengths and weaknesses work in matches.
| Fighter | Ideal for |
|---|---|
| Heisei Godzilla | Players who want to dive straight in. |
| Godzilla 2000 | Players annoyed at their friend for picking Heisei Godzilla. |
| King Ghidorah | Players who want to control the battlefield. |
| Anguirus | Players who think defense is the best offense. |
| Megalon | Players who love to hit and run. |
| Gigan | Players wanting to attack with deadly speed. |
| Destoroyah | Players wanting a classic tank character. |
| Rodan | Players wanting speed above all else. |
| Mecha-King Ghidorah | Players wanting a long-range grappler. |
| Mechagodzilla | Players wanting a heavy duty ranged fighter. |
| Orga | Players wanting the best grappler in the game. |
| Kiryu | Players needing a more weapons-focused Godzilla. |
According to the guide, Heisei Godzilla is a balanced default pick with high starting health and reliable melee combos, but slower projectiles. Godzilla 2000 is described as a slightly faster but less strong variant and a solid alternative. King Ghidorah is presented as a long-range zoning specialist with gravity beams and limited flight, but weak in close combat.
Anguirus is portrayed as a counter-attack fighter with high defense and grappling, whose spiked back can damage attackers during blocks. Megalon is highlighted for tunneling and pop-up grabs that support hit-and-run tactics, offset by below-average defense. Gigan emphasizes aggressive rushdown and teleportation, with strong hook attacks but vulnerability to energy attacks.
Destoroyah is positioned as a powerful mid-range tank with high-damage and often unblockable energy attacks that are energy-hungry, and very slow movement. Rodan is called the fastest and most mobile in the air, effective at hit-and-run with a strong breath attack, but with the weakest defense in the roster. Mecha-King Ghidorah trades some raw power for draining projectiles, a shield, and long-range grapples, while remaining slow and reliant on energy for his best attacks.
Mechagodzilla is described as a heavy-duty ranged fighter with many weapons and strong defense, but reliant on energy for flying and many of its ranged attacks, leaving sluggish melee when depleted. Orga is identified as the roster’s standout grappler with long reach and a paralysing goo that costs significant energy. Kiryu is presented as a weapons-focused, heavily armored option with more balanced stats than Mechagodzilla and a potent Absolute Zero Cannon rage attack.
The post concludes by inviting players to “get smashing” when the remastered fighter arrives on PlayStation 5 on November 3.
