Gamera – Gyaos Gekimetsu Sakusen is a real-time strategy game released exclusively in Japan for the Super Famicom in 1995. Developed by Axes Art Amuse and published by Sammy, this title ties into the film Gamera: Guardian of the Universe. Rather than playing as the titular kaiju, you take command of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF). Your objective is to manage military deployments on an overhead map, direct civilian evacuations to secure funding, and strategically position your tanks and jets to lure massive monsters into prepared traps.
How to Play
Navigate the command menus and map using the D-pad (Arrow keys). Select units and confirm commands with the A button (X), and cancel with the B button (Z). You must balance rescuing civilians with using your military forces to block or bait the monsters’ movements. Keep your base intact and avoid springing the final trap before the preparation timer finishes.
Tips
- Tanks and ground forces are best used as roadblocks; placing them directly in a monster’s path will often force it to change direction toward your traps.
- Prioritize civilian evacuation early in a stage, as the funds you earn are crucial for consulting Dr. Aoki to upgrade your weaponry.
