Game Overview

Kaiju No. 8 The Game adapts the popular Shonen Jump manga about a world besieged by monsters. Players follow the story of an ordinary Defense Force member who gains the ability to transform into a kaiju - a narrative twist that drives the game's unique premise.

Pre-Registration Rewards

The game has already unlocked its first major milestone reward - the 4-star character [Aiming for Greater Heights] Mina Ashiro. With 850,000 pre-registrations now achieved, players will also receive the 4-star [Blade Specialist] Soshiro Hoshina at launch.

Production Value

Featuring the original voice cast and authentic manga-style artwork, the game aims to deliver a faithful adaptation for fans. However, the bigger question remains whether it can appeal beyond the existing fanbase to the broader mobile gaming audience.

While the term "gacha" carries negative connotations for some players looking for fair monetization models, Kaiju No. 8 The Game joins a mobile market with many well-received examples.
