Greetings, Generals of Earth. We strive to make the most innovative & unique strategy titles, and we're proud to announce our newest game & by far most ambitious game yet, Real-Time General.
This time you won't be saving cities from giant monsters, rather you'll be facing a far more grounded & historic threat. Although VERY different from Kaiju Wars, we hope you'll give it a look - who knows, you may even like what you see?

BREAKING NEWS - giant monsters have been spotted heading for Sony and Microsoft headquarters! We hope they have peaceful intentions, but just in case, we're rallying our console brethren to take up arms.
Our friends at Klabater have finished their console ports of Kaiju Wars for Xbox One and PS4!

If you buy it on Xbox, PLEASE leave a review! It helps indies a lot.
We'd also love to hear what you think about the ports on the discord, so let us know!

Kaiju Wars was selected as one of 12 indie games to be a part of the Pax Rising indie showcase at Pax West 2022 in Seattle! This was our first time at Pax and we were absolutely blown away by the turnout. Sadly they don't keep track of attendance numbers anymore, but it would've been a real problem if a giant fire-breathing kaiju attacked the convention center (good thing it wasn't filled with scientists or this most certainly would have happened!).
It was super fun meeting so many people, making new friends and celebrating videogames as a whole. We also learned quite a bit about attending conventions, as we should have brought more computers to demo the game, and print more business cards (we ran out mid-way through the second day!).
We look forward to bringing our new games to Pax in the future.
Kaiju Wars was selected to be a part of the indie showcase at Pax West ! We'll be in Seattle Sept 2-5 - if you're in the area, come down and say hi.

Dingaling's Mistake
Created by user Logrande. Doc Dingaling has invited Wagner to see his amazing new Broadcast Island - where absolutely nothing could go wrong.
Wow, Doc Dingaling's island is great! Tons of science, lots of security. Should be a cakewalk! Remember to choose some researchers to accompany you, and get that Radar car out to add to your media empire!

We had the great opportunity to meet new people and show off Kaiju Wars at Dallas, Texas during Dreamhack! It was a lot of fun, and a great learning experience (was our first gaming convention). If you saw us there, leave us a comment!
The kaiju had been confined to Monster Island, but now the whole island is going berzerk! Get the situation under control...if you can.
This one's a doozy, as you'll be immediately attacked by a whole gaggle of kaiju from the island! Luckily they start with low health, but you'll have to prioritize which to take down first. Hold out until the mighty Sky Carrier can be deployed, and don't forget to rebuild your Suburbs with the Population Growth project!

Quad Action
Created by Silly Cat for the map editor competition. FOUR Alphazaurus's are approaching. There's no extra labs, so stand your ground and be prepared for an epic 4vs1 fight for your life!!
Try your best to take on four kaiju, and match your unit types against the four different abilities in use! Use Population Growth at the right moment to rejuvenate your destroyed economy mid-game.
Good luck with the kaiju, mayors.

Mountain Labs
Created by user overmind for the map editor competition. Carefully navigate evacuations between remote mountain labs from an increasingly dangerous foe!
This will require careful positioning of the small number of given units, not mention the all-important building placement. Use the power KAPUTNIK and BIG BOY experimental weapons to fly over mountain ranges to deal death from above!
Good luck with the kaiju, mayors.

Every week we upload a new special Weekly Challenge mission. Beat the mission and earn EXTRA BREAKTHROUGHS to be placed on the global leaderboards!
Double Trouble
Created by bredera for the map editor competition. Commander, seismological activity of two Kaiju have been detected near one of our research bases in New Shark City. Data shows that one of the Kaiju will appear quicker than the other. Still this is a really bad situation. Keep the research base safe until some vital research has been completed!"
A much smaller scope than the last challenge, you'll nonetheless be challenged by being forced to use a smorgasboards of units (and BIG BOY!).

Taken at face value, you could easily think that Kaiju Wars was close to Into the Breach but after playing it, I can safely tell you it's a whole lot more than that. Read the full article here:

Welcome Mayors, new and old! We thought it would be fun to breakdown the gameplay of Kaiju Wars for everyone that's new here, and refresh everyone that has been patiently waiting for the game the last couple years.
Let's jump right in!
There are multiple phases in a turn in Kaiju Wars. In the Economy phase you’ll receive money and science progress from a variety of buildings (as long as they are still standing!)
The Military phase is where you’ll be taking all your actions. You can build buildings, deploy units on your different structures, use Project Cards (more on them below), and move/attack with your units.
The Kaiju phase is when the monsters will move and use their special abilities.
Kaiju are predictable; they will always target the closest building. The path they will take varies from situation to situation, and is demonstrated by percentages for each path.
Each kaiju has a variety of powerful abilities. Be mindful of each kaiju’s special attacks when you approach with your units, or you don’t stand a chance!
Project Cards are special effects you can use as you see fit on your turn! Unlock more powerful cards as you progress through the campaign, and build your deck to suit your strategy.
You’ll encounter helpful Researchers during the campaign who will be able to aid you against the kaiju with the power of SCIENCE. They offer powerful passive abilities when brought into a mission.
Kaiju can’t be killed, they can only be slowed down and forced to fall back. To win a mission:
Kaiju Wars has a 6 act story campaign with 60+ unique missions.
For even more variety, you’ll be able to compete each week for top leaderboard score in our Weekly Challenge missions. The more science Breakthroughs you achieve (more on those below), the higher your score!
In select missions we've included a bonus local multiplayer mode! One player controls the Humans, the other controls the Kaiju. This mode also works with Steam Remote Play.
You can create your own missions with our robust Map Editor and then upload it to Steam Workshop to challenge other players around the world! Players can select your mission in our Custom Missions menu and play instantly.
We have Twitch Integration! Twitch viewers can type commands into chat to have comments appear during certain in-game events. We fully expect hilarity and chaos to ensue.
There’s so much more to discover in Kaiju Wars and we can’t wait for you to play it when it launches tomorrow, April 28! Remember to wishlist on Steam, it helps us A TON, and you’ll be notified the moment the game goes live on the store!

We wanted to do something special for our community as we approach our full launch for Kaiju Wars, So to give an extra incentive to try out the new map editor, we'll be running a map creator competition from February 18 to March 18!
Create your map and upload to Steam Workshop to eligible for the competition. We'll be reviewing all submissions and will pick the best ones as missions to include IN THE FINAL GAME. The winners will also get their name credited in the game, and will receive a limited Kaiju Wars movie style poster.
We can't wait to see what kind of maps you all come up with!

Turkey Shoot
Rumour has it that annoying hell turkey has taken up residence in the nearby jungle. Flush that foul fowl out, and lines it path with traps!
A familiar mission, but this time our foe is even faster, and traps must be laid planned ahead of time due to monstrous abilities. If you can get their movement low, your RADAR combined with the DATA PROTOCOL project could allow you to publish MANY scientific papers...

Greetings fellow Mayors. We'd like to submit to the planning subcommittee a rather vague roadmap about exciting new features coming to the demo and Kaiju Wars proper. We hope to meet this timeline, but like all civil planning, things always take longer than you think. Let's get to it!
(stuff that's already happened)
Oct 1st: Demo launched
Oct 3rd: UNDO button added
Nov 3rd: LOCAL VERSUS (where you play AS the kaiju), Twitch integration added
(stuff that WILL happen)
January 1: Map editor! Create your own missions, and share them on the steam workshop
January 15: Map making competition! Become the best city planner (and city destroyer), and win cash prizes. The best maps will be highlighted as future weekly challenges
January: Controller support!
February/March: PC release, demo available in all languages
We've added six weekly challenge missions so far, but we can't keep up the pace of creating new content while developing the full game, and the demo already has PLENTY of content. A new challenge mission will be added every TWO weeks from now.
We received a TON of excellent feedback from our generous players. We've identified several large areas for improvement that we intend to address. This list will be updated as we improve these experiences.
Players want to be able to UNDO actions/turns, have more options about game speed, and more options. Options are good!
- We've already added an UNDO button (but it's limited to unit movement/attacks only. Will update to include deployment, cards, etc.)
- We've already added a RETRY MISSION button
- We will add a UNDO TURN button
- We will add a quick monster movement option, and improve the quick monster ability option
- We will add a FAST-FORWARD button (just like your old emulators!)
- We will add an option to disable blur on ZOOMING
Sometimes the map gets a bit cluttered. Some things aren't explained well. We're gonna give you ALL the info you want!
- We've already toned down the Crisis fire animations (no more California wildfires!)
- We've reduced the size of the Flying turkey kaijuTM since it took too much space (especially when flying)
- Lookouts building searchlights will be toned down
- Will make kaiju go transparent when mousing on tile directly behind kaiju
- Better tutorials and animations showing how DARK PROJECT work when a BREACH is in effect
- Better tutorials explaining mechanics of the global unit pool and deploying/repairing units in tutorial
- Add specific 'player turn' themes and 'monster turn' themes (like Advance Wars) so music tracks don't repeat as often
Art is always a bottleneck, and we'll be continuing adding and improving the in-game art.
- More PROJECT card illustrations
- Finish Big Donk (giant money) animations
- More flying turkey kaiju animations
By the way, you can click 'skip conversation' at the bottom of each dialogue cutscene, or skip ALL between-mission story cutscenes in the options menu.
- Replace low-quality cutscene backgrounds
- Tighten up dialogue a bit
Unit variety is a tough one - we want the game to be easy and accessible to pick up and play, while allowing for interesting decisions and higher levels of play. Basic units can be broken down into two categories: ATTACKERS and LEGOs (EXPERIMENTAL units mix this up, but are rarer). ATTACKERS units gain value by directly attacking the monster. LEGOs gain value by dealing COUNTER damage and having SLOW abilities when stepped on (ever stepped on a LEGO brick? It REALLY hurts). We'll be adding an interesting third category of unit that we think you'll like soon.
- Infantry are weak, so we've buffed their speed to 3 so they can more easily get in position to be stepped on, and have time to dig in first for that juicy +1 COUNTER if not having moved
- Adding ACE INFANTRY (even better at getting stepped on!)
- Balance pass on PROJECT cards
- Improvements to CORE DEFENCE missions (first challenge mission, final demo mission) so they don't drag on as long, improved clarity on certain mechanics
Got MORE feedback? We'd love to hear it! Either here on the steam forum, or on our discord.
That's a lot of stuff! We'll be adding/removing from this list as we go. Thanks again to all the folks who played the demo and left feedback - ALONE we fall, but TOGETHER we can face the kaiju threat.
