Key Features of  KAIJU NO. 8 THE GAME

• Choose from Three Different Story Modes: The game offers an original “Main Story” branching from the manga and anime, “Memories” which allows players to revisit classic moments, and “Character Stories” to explore the relationships and interactions between team members. Each mode has its own unique appeal, allowing both longtime fans of Kaiju No. 8 and new fans to enjoy the experience fully.
  • Main Story: Follow original characters from the Closing Order with Zero Restrictions (CLOZER), a special unit led by Sagan Shinomiya, the non-blood-related older sister of Kikoru Shinomiya.  She moved to the United States and enlisted in the US Defense Force after being adopted into the Shinomiya family.
  • Memories: Relive iconic scenes from the Kaiju No. 8 anime and manga.
  • Character Stories: Highlights the daily lives and interactions of individual Defense Force officers in original scenarios.
• Action-Packed Turn-Based Battles: In KAIJU NO. 8 THE GAME, players assemble squads of their favorite Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force officers and face down deadly Kaiju in an intuitive, turn-based combat system. Utilize officers’ unique skills and Ultimates, expose the Kaiju’s cores, and deliver a finishing blow!
  • Iconic officers join forces, including Kafka Hibino, Mina Ashiro, Reno Ichikawa, Kikoru Shinomiya, Soshiro Hoshina, Isao Shinomiya, and more.
  • Players form squads of four characters, so balance the characters’ strengths and abilities to create a well-rounded team. When characters fight together as battle buddies, they can coordinate to provide powerful support for one another in combat.
  • While the game’s controls are simple, characters’ and Kaiju’s abilities and unique traits introduce deeper layers of strategy to combat.
