Los Angeles – May 23, 2019 – TOHO and NEXON put the power of Godzilla
into the hands of gamers all over the world today with the release of GODZILLA
DEFENSE FORCE, featuring 70 iconic kaiju seen in Toho’s classic films (more
than 29 films ) from the Godzilla franchise (1954-2016). Players can fight the
onslaught of fan favorites such as Mechagodzilla, Rodan, and Mothra using
special weapons while also building and reinforcing defensive bases. The
action-packed clicker game is available worldwide from NEXON, a global leader
in online games and developed under its consolidated subsidiary NEOPLE INC. by
development team STUDIO42, and overseen by TOHO.
“Nexon is the perfect gaming partner to capture the power and
personality of Godzilla and its years of rich history and lore in GODZILLA DEFENSE
FORCE,” said Emi Haraguchi, Licensing Manager of Toho of TOHO. “Fans will
become nostalgic when they can interact with the weapons, vehicles and
characters seen in the iconic Toho’s Godzilla films.”
“Godzilla Defense Force weaves TOHO’s Godzilla series with a fantastic
blend of card and defense building mechanics to create unique mobile experience
that reflects the heart of the franchise,” said Jaeho Hwang, Director of Neople
Studio 42.
GODZILLA DEFENSE FORCE is a stand-alone, base management game that
lets players defend large and populated cities including New York, Tokyo,
London and Sydney against gigantic beasts. Kaiju from across the Godzilla
series are on the move, and it’s up to players to recruit these powerful beasts
to save the world! Defeated Kaiju can be collected as KaijuCards, which can
then be used as Skills or Buffs in various stages. Players can defeat and
collect Kaiju Cards to unlock the Codex, which contains detailed descriptions
of all the Kaiju alongside images from their respective movies. When players
are not defending their city, forces are bolstered through lunar colonization
and even a special time-traveling mechanic! The game is free to play (with
micro transactions) and available at the App Store and Google
Play.
