I feel that cutting between the movie, which is the best movie of 2021 or any other year, and the game is a mistake for the trailer. You can’t live up to that sort of hype. But this is the world of F2P, where anything eye-grabbing is worth a shot. The two new commanders are very much for show and don’t do any punching or lightning screams in battle. In fact, they only appear on the ship while it’s docked. Boo! More meaningful additions include the two battleships that the monsters squeeze onto. The JVIII Amagi is Japanese battleship is a longer version of the Tosa-class battleship (to keep Godzilla afloat, no doubt) with more guns. The VIII North Carolina apparently has great AA defenses and good durability. Both have permanent camouflages inspired by movie, too. They look like you’re riding into battle in a can of Monster energy drink. This is a game that added Steven Seagal (because he has ‘Sea’ in his name, I assume), and managed to squeeze in a post-apocalyptic battle royale game mode. It has room for Kaiju. If you are somehow interested in this, you can currently buy each monster’s pack on Steam for, and I kid you not, £56.69 each. That’s a generous 10% off.
