Description

Play out a kaiju movie as the (hopelessly) outclassed military in the stylish 2D turn-based strategy of Kaiju Wars. Construct buildings and defend your city with cannon-fodder tanks, jets, and more as the devastating kaiju grows in power with every attack.

History

Jeff Long really played an old NES game called Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters a TON as a child. The game was janky, but the ideas were so cool. Fast-forward to 2020, and he makes a boardgame inspired by Godzilla 2. This home-made boardgame quickly became a favourite for game nights. After many plays and much testing Michael Long suggested adapting it into videogame form - not having to shuffle around the cardboard token for the monster movement would be awesome! Together the brothers have created a stylish and innovative turn-based strategy game, translating the experience of a the crappy military fighting unstoppable kaiju to game form.
Thanks to Canada Media Fund for making this possible.

Features

Command the army!

• We need more time! - Play as the mayor of Floatio city, tasked with holding off the overwhelming strength of a kaiju attack. Park tanks and jets in the monster's path to slow it down (don't worry, we have a good insurance policy).
• Construct buildings! - Build sacrificial army bases and airfields to distract the kaiju and line the city streets with fodder.
• Deploy experimental weapons! - Conventional weapons aren't enough; deploy experimental weapons such as freeze rays and transforming mechas to keep the kaiju at bay.
