Kaiju Panic

I can't really recommend this game tbh. It feels like the game encourages grinding but makes grinding really really boring. I think the concept of the game is pretty cool, but the build-up in-game is slow and just isn't fun. YMMV, personally I can't recommend this game, you might enjoy it more. If it really appeals to you, buy it, play it, and refund it if you don't enjoy it. For me the game was just not fun after about an hour of play, felt like a cheap flash game at times too.

So, this game looks super cute and fluffy, you're a little general leading your little Duplo citizens in fending off cuddly alien monsters. The theme pays homage to Japanese monster films of Godzilla fame (there's even a Chibizilla end-stage boss), whilst the gameplay is an innovative take on the tower defence genre by mashing it up with some RTS action. Be warned though, If you let the cutesy character design and bright lollypop colours lull you into a false sense of security, then you're going to get your cream buns handed to you on a plate. Whilst its family friendly graphics may make it look like something that's aimed at children or at the "casual" market, it's most certainly geared towards people who have cut their gaming teeth on various tower defence games. After two cursory simple levels to get you accustomed to the controls, it throws you in at the deep end once the kaiju appear. It's a little like paddling about in the shallows one minute and then finding yourself in d...

It has nice graphics, and the idea is cool, but the gameplay is too tedious to be fun and the game is way too expensive for what it is. Not recommended.

Here you play as a commander and must muster civillians to construct and man defenses against kaiju, of which there are various types, with vulnerabilities against certain defences and resistances against others. Investing Science earned from defeated enemies and clearing maps you can upgrade your commander for faster construction time, movement speed etc and upgrade your defences unlocking additional properties such as pushback increased range etc Killing kaiju by balancing what you build where you place it and what civillians you have manning what, for example if you leave civillians in defences across the map to improve them, they cant help you build defenses for an incoming wave or repair structures that may have been damaged, or you may have difficulty evacuating them if required Early game severes as an extended tutorial introducing how different types of kaiju and weapons interact but more types are intrroduces as you progress through levels and to 100% all missions wil...

This is a very challenging little game! The game really challenges you to get your level set up right to combat the waves of incoming monsters using the finite resources to hand. Though it does suffer from a level of grinding to unlock the more powerful weapons and the like, it's never a chore. Though not turn based, the cutesy graphics and the challenging gameplay remind me a lot of Advance Wars and the thrill you got from beating a level. It's a game I'd recommend to people who like to work for their victories!

Tower Defense game where you play as a commander on the field. I was initially uncertain about hte game due to the graphics, but it is surprisingly good. I actually quite appreciate the pixel art now and how detailed everything is; the world, the monsters, the buildings, the variety in NPCs etc. While it looks cute, these monsters can hit hard though. Levels 1-1 through 1-4 will guide you how to play the game but 1-5 will really start to ramp up the challenge. Unlike, say Kingdom Rush, there is no obvious path the monsters will take. You're given a signal that monsters will come from a certain direction and what type and that's it. You can infer they will probably go straight from there toward your HQ, but that may not always be the case. Different monsters have different behaviors. You also need to build your own economy in this game, building harvesters to mine meteorites, which is not something all TDs have. I think it's a good addition to the strategy where you need to decide if...

This game is up there with Pixeljunk Monsters now that it has coop.

If you enjoy tower defense games such as defense grid or Revenge of the Titans you'll love this game. There's plenty of content in the form of researching weapons and skills and for those of you who want to perfect every single level. The Graphics are simple but that's not a bad thing. The monster designs are very cute and reminiscent of its namesake the Japanese Kaiju movies. I'd like to have a bit more customisation in terms of resolutions, windowed mode, and changing keyboard shortcuts. But apart from that a very enjoyable game.

So far I'm finding this game really enjoyable. The art style is really nice and although the gamplay is difficult I'm enjoying the challenge. Overall I would recommend this game to anybody who is a fan of tower defence or just enjoys blasting away waves of cute monsters.
