Kaiju No. 8 THE GAME Is Out Now on iOS and Android
While we’ve seen many anime games lately, Kaiju No. 8 THE GAME tries to take a different approach by offering players new and well-known story moments. Now that the game has launched on mobile devices, players can pick between any of the three story modes: main story, memories, and characters’ stories. Whether you want to experience the game-exclusive story, relive the epic moments from the source materials, or get to know the officers, there’s a lot to play through in this epic Kaiju-hunting game.
In and outside of the story, you’ll also be able to experience intricate turn-based battles alongside your favorite Defense Force officers. You’ll be able to assemble your group of four officers and fight Kaiju until you expose their cores and deliver that sweet final blow. However, it is essential to bring a good squad because even if the combat is easy to understand, there are a lot of strategy layers behind it that will challenge even the most avid turn-based players.
Speaking of assembling your squad, Kaiju No. 8 THE GAME brings all the pre-registration rewards to players at launch, with the option to pick one of seven 5-star characters for your team. The lineup includes Kikoru Shinomiya, Kaiju No. 8, Mina Ashiro, Soshiro Hoshina, Rin Shinonome, Gen Narumi, and Isao Shinomiya. Remember, you can only pick one of these, so choose wisely.
Also, for those following the anime closely, Reno Ichikawa, in the “Numbers Weapons 6” outfit, who just debuted in the show, will also appear in the game as a 5-star character that you can obtain through the gacha system. If you want to pull for him, you should save all the Game Gacha Tickets that come as a reward from the game’s launch.
As you can see, Kaiju No. 8 THE GAME is more than just a re-telling of an anime or manga story. It takes the beloved Kaiju No. 8 universe to new heights, adding its own elements while retaining some of the story beats and characters we have fallen in love with. So, if you are still craving some Kaiju-hunting action after watching this season’s episodes, this game is the perfect place to start.
