<h2>Overview</h2><p>Gamera: Gyaos Gekimetsu Sakusen ("Gamera: Operation Destroy Gyaos") is a <a href="/kaiju/3015-104/" data-ref-id="3015-104">kaiju</a> strategy game for the Super Famicom featuring the Daiei Film characters <a href="/gamera/3005-6488/" data-ref-id="3005-6488">Gamera</a>, a giant turtle with flame breath, and <a href="/gyaos/3005-6635/" data-ref-id="3005-6635">Gyaos</a>, a giant pteradon that frequently uses sonic attacks. The two are frequent rivals, with Gamera often having to protect Japan from Gyaos's destructive sprees. The game was released to coincide with <em>Gamera: Guardian of the Universe</em>, a 1995 movie that reboots the mighty turtle kaiju and his origin story.</p><p>In the game, both Gamera and Gyaos are presented as threats, and the player has to mobilize forces to repel the two kaiju away from populated areas in real-time strategy battles. The player has a base of operations on each map from which to deploy various units, from ground-based missile launchers and tanks to jet fighters. At any time, the player can switch from the top-down tactical view to an isometric perspective that displays the player's units and the kaiju in more detail.</p>
