Overview and Gameplay
Two massive monsters clash across city arenas as destruction unfolds around each stage. Each match focuses on close-range combat, throws, and grapples while buildings crumble under the impact of the fight. Progression follows a series of one-on-one battles against increasingly difficult opponents, each set in different urban locations.
