Turn-based strategy RPG Kaiju Wars will launch for PC via Steam on April 28, followed by PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch at a later date, developer Foolish Mortals announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
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 them scientists have mathed the exact odds they step on each tile!
Campaign Mode
- Uncover the Mystery – Strange things are happening: frequent volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and earthquakes. Find out why over the course of an eight-plus 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!
Play AS the Kaiju!

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