Kaiju No. 8: The Game is an upcoming free-to-play action RPG developed and published by Akatsuki Games, based on Naoya Matsumoto’s hit manga and anime series Kaiju No. 8. The game marks the franchise’s first video game adaptation and immerses players in a world ravaged by colossal monsters known as Kaiju. You take command of elite Defense Force officers tasked with neutralizing these threats using strategic, turn-based combat. Each battle revolves around exposing a Kaiju’s core and unleashing devastating ultimate attacks, all rendered in high-end 3D visuals that capture the intensity of the original series.
The game features a story mode that blends iconic moments from the manga with original narratives focused on individual Defense Force members. Players can form squads of up to four characters, each with unique skills and weapons, and enhance their stats through leveling, ascension, and gear upgrades. The combat system emphasizes synergy between squad members, allowing for follow-up attacks and tactical depth. With voice acting from the anime cast and cinematic cutscenes, Kaiju No. 8: The Game aims to deliver a faithful and thrilling adaptation for fans and newcomers alike.
It will be available on PC, iOS, and Android, with cross-platform play details yet to be confirmed.
