Kaiju Wars

Kaiju Wars is a 2D turn-based strategy game in which you command Floatio’s army as mayor and try to hold off an approaching kaiju attack. You deploy tanks and jets to slow the monsters, build army bases and airfields as distractions, and use experimental weapons such as freeze rays and transforming mechas. The kaiju cannot be killed; you can only slow them down and force them to fall back.

Defend the city

Kaiju move toward the nearest building, and the game provides odds for where they might go next. Each of the five kaiju specializes in different kinds of destruction. They also mutate during levels, growing stronger and gaining devastating abilities.

When the kaiju get too close, you can evacuate the laboratory using transport trucks, boats or planes. The chief scientist is working on an anti-monster serum, but it is not ready yet.

Campaign

A story-based campaign lasting over 15 hours follows strange events including frequent volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and earthquakes. Missions take place around the world and include tactical puzzles, large-scale scenarios with dozens of units, and city-defense missions where you fend off repeated attacks while developing the city economically.

Veteran ACE units accompany you through the campaign. You spend medals to upgrade and customize these fighters, and unlock Project cards to customize a deck of cards for competing on the online leaderboard.

Versus and custom battles

Local Versus Mode lets two players compete at the same computer, or online through Steam RemotePlay. One player controls the kaiju and the other the humans. Twitch Integration lets viewers act as citizens: chat commands can make comments appear during certain in-game events.

You can use the drag-and-drop map editor to create cities and scenarios, then share your maps online through Steam Workshop. Weekly Challenges also put players on weekly leaderboards.
