The gist: giant movie monsters are attacking a series of violently coloured, isometric tile-based cities.
The most valuable of these labs is the one housing Dr Wagner.
Fortunately, it’s possible for you to play special Project cards in turn.
Sometimes you must fight several kaiju simultaneously, which really throws the modest map proportions into punishing relief.
There are also bonus objectives (e.g.
win in seven turns) and harder difficulties to encourage replay.
Kaiju Wars is an intriguing visual confection.
Above all, though, Kaiju Wars has a wonderful feel for the cadence of a monster movie.
Forget sinister illuminati-style organisations - the kaijus' most fanatical adherents are surely the developers themselves.
