We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Turn-based strategy fans who want to manage a city defense against monsters

Our take on Kaiju Wars
Kaiju cannot be killed: the military can only slow them down and force them to retreat, making delay and evacuation central to the defense.
What is Kaiju Wars?
Play as the mayor of Floatio, directing a military defense against kaiju that cannot be killed and become stronger through mutations during a level.
Tanks, jets, experimental weapons, and buildings can slow the monsters or draw them away from the city. Evacuate the laboratory by truck, boat, or plane when a kaiju approaches. The campaign spans more than 15 hours and includes tactical puzzles, large battles, and city-defense missions where the city develops economically. Veteran ACE units can be upgraded with medals, and Project cards can be used to customize a deck. The game also includes local two-player battles, a map editor with online sharing, Twitch chat interaction, and weekly challenges.
