❤ Slowing the Unstoppable

Players take on the role of a city mayor tasked with defending against rampaging kaiju monsters. Instead of defeating them outright, the objective is to strategically slow down their progress as much as possible. This presents a unique puzzle-like challenge, as players must carefully place and maneuver their limited military forces - including tanks, jets, and experimental weapons - to bait and redirect the kaiju.

❤ Balancing Offense and Defense

Effectively balancing offensive and defensive priorities is crucial. Deploying units to block the kaiju's movement or draw their attention away from key buildings means sacrificing offensive capabilities in that turn. Meanwhile, powerful "experimental" units like mechs and freeze rays can deal significant damage, but take longer to produce and are more vulnerable. Managing this mix of expendable cannon fodder and high-impact special units is key to success.

❤ Adapting to Each Scenario

The game's scenario-based structure means the specific unit, building, and kaiju combinations vary from level to level. This requires players to approach each situation with flexibility and adaptability. The "project deck" system, which unlocks customizable ability cards, further enhances this need to adjust tactics on the fly. Completing optional objectives or reaching performance thresholds can unlock new upgrades and resources, incentivizing players to experiment with different strategies. The campaign's difficulty also ramps up, introducing new kaiju types and environmental hazards that force players to continually refine their approach.

❤ A Unique Tactical Challenge

At its core, the gameplay loop revolves around using limited resources to tactically slow down and maneuver the unstoppable kaiju threat. Its puzzle-like scenarios, balancing of offense and defense, and adaptable mechanics create a unique and engaging strategy experience that fans of the genre have widely praised.
