What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

KAIJU NO. 8 THE GAME has a deeply divided player base with some enjoying it as a fun gacha experience, while many others criticize the predatory gacha system that lacks pity mechanics, poor drop rates even on featured banners, severe balance issues where rarity determines viability regardless of level, and unfair event difficulty spikes. The consensus among frustrated players is that the game is not worth the time and money investment due to these fundamental design flaws, though a smaller group finds it satisfactory despite these problems.

How do you create a gacha system where a character and their signature weapon are featured on the same banner?, and there is no pity system? Hello? i just got back to back limit pull it's like 6 times and you know what? there is no single character banner and signature i got... just see how trash this game...ok i'm done with this trash, for remind for you guys that want to try this game.

my friend suggested this game to me. at first i watched Kaiju No.8 anime and loved it. that's when i start to play this game. liked the game though after all it is a free to play and the graphic is good too. would be great if it also have co-op mode with battle raid.

Recommended Oct 7, 2026

good sides are good fighting animations, model and new character designs(like sagan cuz i didnt even know her in the anime honestly, she was introduced in this game) bad sides are ♥♥♥♥ animations(the scenes suck, running animations lowkey buns) and AI slop scenes Honestly i still think its not that bad cuz of the fighting animations cutscenes BUT i really hate when they use AI for their scenes, recommended to watch anime than play memories story:sob:

Devs have gotten greedier and greedier over time. Have spent a few hundreds on this game but not going to anymore. Akatsuki had a chance to redeem themselves and shot themselves in the foot instead. Any day now the dataminers will leak the true pull rates and expose devs for their sweet lies. If you wanna start playing this game, don't. Better gacha games out there with devs that actually care for their players.
