About Kaizen:
The visuals are charming and the music is pretty nice. If you like the idea of slowly building up resources to fight powerful kaiju, then check this game out when it’s on sale. However, despite no true flaws, I felt the pacing of the game to be too slow for my liking. The economy system feels like it makes things too gradual. When a kaiju is attacking your city, it seems odd to start building tanks and planes at that point. The military should be ready to go and not need to wait for individual dollars from the economy phase. I get that this is a usual trait of many strategy games, however, I feel like the money and unit deployment systems could have been streamlined a bit to make the game feel more exciting. With that said, if you like slow-paced strategy games, then give this one a shot. The animations are all pretty nice and the gameplay is solid. I didn’t care much for the dialogue or characters, but you might! Not a bad game at all, so kaiju fans may want to check this one out. This game’s got enough cheese in it to make fondue for the entire population of Paris. And yet, underneath all that carefully aged gorgonzola there is a surprisingly intricate game design; full of slowly unfolding elements, pleasant yet firm difficulty curve.
