Kaiju Wars is releasing on Steam tomorrow!
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!
Gameplay
Phases
There are multiple phases in a turn in Kaiju Wars. In the Economy phase youll receive money and science progress from a variety of buildings (as long as they are still standing!)

The Military phase is where youll 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
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 kaijus special attacks when you approach with your units, or you dont stand a chance!
Project Cards and Researchers
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.

Youll 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.
Win Conditions
Kaiju cant be killed, they can only be slowed down and forced to fall back. To win a mission:
- Pepper the kaiju with attacks to drop their health to zero
- OR reach the required number of Science Breakthroughs
