War of the Monsters (known as Kaiju Daigekisen in Japan) is a 3D Fighting Game for the PlayStation 2, made by Incognito Entertainment (of Twisted Metal fame) in 2003, and eventually re-released on the Play Station Network.The game is set in the aftermath of an alien invasion of Earth where their hazardous fuels have spawned giant monsters that battle one another in city environments. The game is presented in the style of a 1950's science fiction and monster movie, making homages towards the films in those genres.The monsters you can play are: Congar - A giant ape, mutated from an astronaut chimpanzee that got hit by the alien's UFO and crashed into the Earth. Togera - A huge, dinosaur-like reptile awakened and empowered after being hit by the UFO and inhaling its nuclear waste. Preytor - A giant, mutated praying mantis, created when a Mad Scientist fed the mantis the UFO's nuclear waste. Robo-47 - A 1950s-styled US military combat robot with nukes, brought to life thanks to gases from the UFO seeped into its storage. Agamo - A tiki-style stone behemoth, brought to life by a native feeding the statue head goop from the UFO. Magmo - A four-armed magma monster which mutated from a volcano. Ultra V - A brightly-coloured Japanese fighting robot created by Japanese scientists, who they quickly lose control of after bringing it to life with a UFO's fuel. Kineticlops - A giant eyeball with a body made up of lightning, created when a security guard was hit by lightning after he was contaminated with alien fuel. Zorgulon - A huge alien, similar to the antagonists themselves. Raptros - A giant, fire-breathing dragon.Character-related tropes go in their appropriate index.

Hero Antagonist: The Humongous Mecha enemies Robo-47 and Ultra V encountered in Adventure mode are man-made creations designed to fight and kill monsters like you. That aside, chances are they're going to cause just as much destruction as you will, which calls their heroism into question.

The center of the map has what appears to be a giant basin (which contains the aforementioned energy tower) and waste disposal furnace; which if jump-attacked, vents a lake of radioactive lava into the pit, which contains multiple buildings and roadways, and even a moving car.

Captain Ersatz: Quite a lot. Togera is Godzilla. His third skin serves as one for Mechagodzilla. Congar is King Kong. He also has one for Mechani-Kong with his third skin. Ultra V is Mazinger Z. An alternate skin resembles Eva Unit-01. Preytor is The Deadly Mantis. An alternate skin is Them!! Agamo is Daimajin. Raptros is Rodan crossed with King Ghidorah. This is done with the arenas, too: Midtown Park is New York City, particularly Manhattan around Central Park. There are also classic yellow taxicabs everywhere. Gambler's Gulch is the Las Vegas Strip, with alterations to signature hotels located on the Strip. Rosdale Canyon is Area 51. Metro City is Chicago with its elevated rail system. Baytown (and Mini Baytown) is San Francisco. Club Caldera is Honolulu. Tsunopolis is a portion of Tokyo, namely Shinjuku and its cluster of 70s-era modernist skyscrapers. Capitol is Washington, D.C..

Limit Break: Maxing out your secondary red energy bar results in the main bar rapidly flashing between red and the original blue. This not only unlocks a special attack use, but also enables a taunt and damage boost that lasts until the flashing bar dies back down to blue.

Combat Pragmatist: You want to win this game? Then learn how to fight dirty! Throw radio antennae to spear enemies, blow them to smithereens with explosive gas tanks, pick up chunks of debris and bash monsters' heads in, use generators as massive tasers, or send a building crashing down onto someone's ugly head. You're frequently outnumbered by enemies that don't play fair as it is, so you have to be more cunning than them.

Gang Up on the Human
 War of the Monsters (Video Game) / int_5ade9ace
comment
Gang Up on the Human: Good lord, this game loves this trope. Even if the cinematic shows you jumping into a fight between two other monsters, they will focus all their attacks on you. This generally takes the form of almost finishing 1 monster off, only to be stunned/impaled by the other while the first one runs for health. Even in "Free-For-All," expect the enemy to gang up on you, even if one of them could die in the next hit (which could win them the match in some cases). They'd rather fight you than win.

comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Every map features a perimeter of the secret weapons that defeated the initial alien invasion, and neither of its 3 modalities are consistent. In the intro cinematic, they release an EMP shockwave that damages and depowers the flying saucers, causing them to crash to the ground. In gameplay, they form a barrier that prevents monsters and most objects from getting out of the map. In cutscenes, monsters and vehicles, human and alien alike, are able to pass through the barriers without issue.

Easy Level Trick: Goliath Prime is a pain-dishing juggernaut of epic proportions, but you can use the indestructible boulder found in Rosdale Canyon to knock him out of his stances before he can hit you. During the Kineticlops section of the Atomic Island level, leave one of the cooling towers near the start of the level for last. When the countdown begins, run to the set of pipes running along the ground and grab one of the tanker trucks. When the island explodes, and the boss fight with Vegon begins, you will still be carrying the tanker truck. If you throw it into one of Vegon's mouths, it will instakill the head, meaning you only have to fight two.

Dynamic Entry: Given the energetic nature of the game, it is only fitting that at least some monsters have a high-octane introduction in Adventure mode. The first Raptros enters the scene on Century Airfield by swooping down from the sky and destroying a landing airplane, snatching its midsection and pinning it against the airport's radio tower. On Bay Town, the twin Robo-47s drop in from the sky to rain havoc on three UFOs that just destroyed a tank battalion, smashing them with their pop-out hammers. Agamo is introduced by kicking Magmo across Club Caldera and into a building. It's often seen in gameplay during large fights, as a duel between two monsters can be interrupted by a monster either jumping in or being thrown at the other two.

Taser Tag Weakness: Even giant monsters are vulnerable to a high-voltage shock. Kineticlops' electrifying ranged special is particularly devastating when it hits, quickly damaging caught enemies while suspended mid-air before throwing them for additional damage. Any monster can taste this power with rooftop generators that can be picked up as weapons, which can be thrown to have the same effect as the above-described special attack. Alternatively, one can first use their projectile button while holding it to stun and damage an opponent with a taser-like attack. There are indestructible power lines on Atomic Island and Capitol that have a similar electric stun+damage effect when walked into.

comment
Evil vs. Evil: While you'll occasionally face a mechanized entity fighting on behalf of humanity, most of the game will be spent with your monster fighting a whole bunch of other monsters, and laying waste to every city in the process. Then the aliens launch another invasion and you fight them.

Instant Awesome: Just Add Mecha!: In the story mode, the military attacks Preytor and the player's monster with their own cyborg Congar. In fact, most of the (living) monsters have "mecha" variations amongst their alternate skins, except for Kineticlops, Raptros and Zorgulon.

comment
Pyrrhic Victory: The game begins with this, for humanity as a whole. The alien menace was defeated, but the fuel used to power their spaceships has spilled all over the world and created all kinds of gigantic monsters the human race is not equipped to fight... And then the aliens come back anyway. Crap.

Cycle of Hurting: Happens a lot in Adventure Mode because of Gang Up on the Human. Get impaled, then get thrown, then get hit in the face with a gas tanker as you try to stand back up... All the while your health is getting lower and you're getting kicked further away from any debris or powerups you could use to turn the tide.

Earthquakes Cause Fissures: The earthquake that can be triggered in Baytown does this. In cheesy over-the-top disaster movie fashion, the fissures are large enough to swallow whole city blocks into a yawning black abyss.

Artistic License – Nuclear Physics
 War of the Monsters (Video Game) / int_c446f93c
comment
Artistic License – Nuclear Physics: Atomic Island is built of this trope. There are multiple "reactor towers" in the map. The biggest, if jump-attacked, regenerates your energy. Destroying the other four smaller towers in the campaign exposes their inner giant electrodes and triggers a nuclear meltdown in Adventure mode. The actual reactors are completely harmless, and their destruction is inconsequential. The center of the map has what appears to be a giant basin (which contains the aforementioned energy tower) and waste disposal furnace; which if jump-attacked, vents a lake of radioactive lava into the pit, which contains multiple buildings and roadways, and even a moving car. The skybox and map ambience in Atomic Island is a sickly shade of green. This is lampshaded by a billboard located in a 50s-style suburb right next to the plant facility, revealing its name to be "Glowing Acres".

Artificial Brilliance: Used in the most annoying way possible as the AI is very cowardly. The second a fight stops going their way, a CPU monster will run, hide and grab every single health power-up in the arena. The issue is only compounded by the AI's tendency to Gang Up on the Human leading to times where injured monsters will run off and heal themselves while non-wounded monsters will swarm around you and kick the shit out of you.
