Godzilla Voxel Wars

The kaiju strategy game Godzilla Voxel Wars is currently free for Windows and Mac — 100% free to keep — for a limited time during an Epic Store’s giveaway offer! Don’t miss it, as Godzilla Voxel Wars normally costs US$14.99!

Godzilla Voxel Wars, nicknamed as GojiBoku, is a turn-based, single-player isometric puzzle/strategy game featuring official kaijus from the Godzilla universe. It was developed by TOHO in partnership with Nukenin and was originally released on October 31, 2023.

Set across six worlds with 20 grid-based stages each, the game is not a destructive action Godzilla title (like King Kong vs. Godzilla), but rather a slow-paced, cerebral, Rubik’s-Cube-style board experience. It also features an original story involving an invasion of alien mushroom creatures known as Fungoids. And, as the title suggests, its visual identity is built around 3D voxel models.

Published by TOHO itself and available on Windows, Mac, and Switch, Godzilla Voxel Wars received mixed reviews from critics. On Steam, however, it holds hundreds of very positive user reviews at the time of this publication.

Gameplay

Godzilla Voxel Wars is a turn-based strategy and puzzle game in which you control various classic Toho monsters while repelling the Fungoid invasion across compact, self-contained tactical stages. The objective of each stage is to eliminate all enemies while using the fewest possible turns—a system that determines your final score.

The game is divided into six worlds, each composed of multiple stages featuring specific layouts, obstacles, and enemy types. Levels have a slow, methodical rhythm and require planning, repositioning, and efficient use of each monster’s unique abilities. Although there is a simple narrative presented between some stages, the focus remains entirely on the strategic mechanics.

After completing a world on the surface, players unlock the more challenging “underside” variants of its stages—significantly harder puzzles with new elements and deeper solutions. There is also a stage-creation mode, allowing players to build custom maps and share them online.

Monsters and abilities

Each playable monster has unique abilities that directly affect puzzle strategy, and their actions are executed turn by turn and may include direct attacks, special movements, jumps, or area-of-effect abilities depending on the character. Playable monsters include:

Godzilla – Direct frontal attacks; balanced between power and versatility.
Rodan – High mobility; capable of crossing the map quickly.
Mothra – Support-oriented actions, often with extended range.
Mothra Larva – Immobilization attacks and terrain-based support.
Anguirus – Ricochet/slide-style movements useful for hitting multiple targets.
King Ghidorah – Large area attacks with high destructive power.
Hedorah – Corrosive and persistent effect abilities.
Destoroyah – Heavy strikes and amplified destructive skills.
Ebirah – Directional lunge-based attacks.
Mechagodzilla – Long-range technological abilities.
Minilla – Simple but situationally useful abilities.

The limited set of actions in each stage encourages players to experiment with different routes and turn sequences until they find the most efficient solution.

Difficulty and Progression

Progression within each world is linear, but difficulty increases as new types of Fungoids are introduced. Advanced stages require greater precision, and the scoring system encourages players to revisit stages to achieve solutions with fewer turns.

After completing all surface stages, players unlock the Dark Levels (or underside levels), which function as significantly more complex, late-game challenges. The game uses a simple resource system—such as tickets to access underground levels—but the core focus remains on puzzle solving and on executing each move with strategic intent.
