Evaluation

Kaiju Wars launched on Steam on April 28, 2022, as a fully featured title with a 60+ mission campaign, weekly challenges, local multiplayer, and a map editor. The developer shipped a rapid post-launch feature patch (Patch 1.2 on May 1, 2022) addressing player feedback. On November 10, 2022, the game was ported to PlayStation and Xbox — the last significant content or platform milestone for the game. The only DLC ever listed is the soundtrack, which released on April 30, 2022, and is already available. No unreleased DLC exists on the store. On May 24, 2023, the developer (Foolish Mortals Games) announced a brand-new, entirely separate game called Real-Time General, signaling that the studio's development focus has shifted to their next project. No post-launch major content updates (expansions, new missions, new kaiju, etc.) have been released for Kaiju Wars at any point, and there has been no developer communication about Kaiju Wars itself since the console port announcement in November 2022. With the studio publicly pivoting to a new title and over three years of silence on Kaiju Wars content, the game is best understood as a complete, shipped product with no further content planned.

Evidence

Foolish Mortals Games announced a new, unrelated game called Real-Time General, indicating the studio's development focus has moved on from Kaiju Wars.

About this game

Kaiju are approaching the city! Scramble the jets and deploy the tanks in this 2D turn-based strategy game.

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.
Evacuate! - Our chief scientist is working on an anti-monster serum, but it's not ready yet! Be prepared to evacuate the laboratory using transport trucks, boats, or planes when the kaiju get too close.

Fight the KAIJU!

Five unique kaiju - Each specializing in different types of destruction.
They mutate! - Tremble in fear as each kaiju grows stronger and gains devastating abilities through mid-level mutations.
Unstoppable! - Kaiju can't be killed, but can only be slowed down and forced to fall back... for now. Pepper them with ammunition, if you can..
Predictable! - They move towards the nearest building, and those scientists have mathed the exact odds as to where they might go next. Use this info wisely!

Campaign Mode!

Uncover the mystery - Strange things are happening: frequent volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and earthquakes. Find out why over the course of a 15+ hour story-based campaign.
Embark on a Campaign - Play missions from all over the world as you progress through the globe-trotting fight against kaiju. Test your wits in tactical puzzles, command dozens of units in large-scale scenarios, and fend off repeated attacks while developing your city economically in city defense missions.
Upgrade your ACES - Veteran ACE units accompany you throughout your campaign. Spend medals to upgrade and customize your top fighters.
Customize your Project Deck - Unlock powerful Project cards, customize your deck, and bring your best strategy to compete on the online leaderboard!

You thought being mayor of the world's greatest city was all about zoning bylaws. Then the kaiju came. Good luck.
