King of the Monsters 2 is basically what happens if you take a wrestling game and give the fighters building-sized health bars. You pick one of six ridiculous kaiju—my go-to was the four-armed alien thing—and then proceed to body slam each other through entire cities. The first time I played, I accidentally punched a skyscraper instead of my opponent and just... flattened it. That’s when I knew this game got me.
It’s not just about mashing buttons, though. Each monster has its own weird little quirks—some can shoot lasers, others have this ridiculous spinning attack that sends enemies flying halfway across the screen. The pixel art holds up surprisingly well, especially when you’re mid-air after getting suplexed into a power plant. Just don’t expect deep strategy; this is pure, dumb fun about giant monsters throwing each other into volcanoes.
If you ever rented this back in the day, the nostalgia hits hard. If not, it’s still a great excuse to turn off your brain and wreck a city as a radioactive dinosaur.
