Fierce Dragon Godzilla: Metropolis Destruction!!

About

Fierce Dragon Godzilla: Metropolis Destruction!! lets you play as a giant monster stomping through environments. You trudge across forests and cities, crushing tanks with your feet and blasting soldiers with atomic fire to earn points. A yellow bar shows your stamina while a purple liquid container slowly fills as the game progresses. The action happens in real time with minimal instructions, just destroy everything in sight. Controls are straightforward, focusing on repetitive attacks and movement without complex mechanics. What stands out is the live newscaster in the corner narrating the chaos. The retro pixel art and simple design feel oddly charming for a 1985 release on Sharp X1 and FM-7 platforms. While the gameplay lacks depth, the novelty of playing as Godzilla in a pre-MMOVAs simulation makes it a curious artifact. Not much strategy exists, but the satisfaction of wrecking pixelated cities remains oddly satisfying.
