KaijuNo8, a captivating new entrant in the turn-based RPG genre, makes a grand entry on iOS and Android, with a PC version anticipated soon. The game is a brainchild of Akatsuki Games, in a strategic collaboration with entertainment giants TOHO and Production I.G. Relying on the intriguing universe of Naoya Matsumoto’s manga and anime, the game offers a fresh twist with full voice acting and original storylines.
The game, tailored for anime enthusiasts, artfully divides its narrative through three distinct story modes. The 'Main Story' offers players a thrilling journey with the CLOZER unit under the leadership of Sagan Shinomiya. 'Memories' allows players to relive iconic, heart-pounding scenes from the original works. Meanwhile, 'Character Stories' provides a glimpse into the daily lives of beloved characters, enriching their backdrop.
Engaging Turn-Based Combat
The combat mechanics of KaijuNo8 emphasize strategy and skill, as players assemble squads of four officers from the Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force. Each character is armed with unique skills and the ability to unleash powerful Ultimates. The ultimate goal in battles is to expose the vulnerabilities of the monstrous Kaiju, often resulting in spectacular finishing moves.
Combat excitement is amplified through a character development system, allowing for strategic growth and progression. Furthermore, the game introduces an innovative equipment crafting system, known as “Unipart R&D.” Here, players experiment with resources to enhance their squad's effectiveness. The popular gacha mechanics play a pivotal role, offering surprises and increasing the overall thrill.
- Key characters are richly fleshed out, with notable inclusions like Kafka Hibino, Mina Ashiro, and Reno Ichikawa.
- Reno Ichikawa debuts in the iconic “Numbers Weapon 6” outfit, adding allure to the gameplay as a formidable ★5 unit available through gacha systems.

For these early supporters, the developers rolled out an array of rewards, including a choice of a ★5 character, multiple named ★5 characters, gacha tickets, dimensional crystals, credits, and numerous in-game items—ensuring that engaged players hit the ground running.
