Overview & Feature Analysis
Play as Godzilla in this match-three game
Godzilla - Smash3
is a free
puzzle game
wherein you
defeat waves of enemies
as the legendary
Godzilla
. Most of the time, you’ll be facing off against
military boats, planes
, and many more. Despite the title boasting a match-tree mechanic like
Candy Crush
, it is more combat-oriented as you can only damage opponents or restore your health by connecting the same tile color.

Godzilla - Smash3 also features
upgrades
that enable Godzilla to boost its
offensive and defensive capabilitie
s, leading to better survivability. The dated 3D graphics,
poor enemy variety
, and 30-minute wait time for gaining one life are its biggest caveats.
Approaching combat with puzzles
If you’re a Gozilla fan who loves puzzle
games
, Godzilla - Smash3 is a title you should consider playing. Here, you need to inflict damage on your enemies by connecting attack
tiles of the same color
. The
blue tiles
represent
weak attacks
, whereas the
yellow
and
orange tiles
let Gozilla perform
medium
and
strong
attacks, respectively. The more tiles of the same color you match, the more you deal damage.
You’ll also
earn more points
and
fill up the star bars
at a faster rate. You can
switch targets
by
tapping
on an enemy. The numbers beside a foe’s life bar are the
turn countdown
. For example, seeing the number two means it will take two turns for the target to attack Godzilla. Of course, Godzilla’s
health bar decreases
when attacked so think carefully to prevent untimely deaths.
Health tiles
are godsent, allowing Godzilla to
restore its health
in battle. Connecting
Atomic tiles
, meanwhile, fills up your Atomic Meter gauge by a certain percentage. When the gauge reaches
100%
, you can unleash a powerful
Atomic Breath
to devastate your foes. Be sure to take advantage of
Blast tiles
to deal
combo splash damage
, or create one yourself by connecting eight or more of the same tiles.
For Godzilla fans
Godzilla - Smash3 takes the
match-three
mechanics with a combat-oriented approach. As the mighty Godzilla, you can destroy planes and boats by simply matching similarly colored tiles, or unleashing your Atomic Breath when the Atomic Meter is filled. Apart from the game’s dated graphics, you’ll need to wait around 30 minutes to regain one life—and for impatient gamers and Godzilla fans—this is bad news.
