Pacific Rim, the video game, is out for iPhone and iPad. Based on the film from Guillermo del Toro, the game has players piloting weaponized robots to defend Earth from monsters.

With a plot that combines key story elements from Alien, The Abyss, and Independence Day, Pacific Rim turns gamers into defenders of the Earth as they train their jockeys from rookie to ace to fend off the Kaiju.

Story Mode lets you play over 30 levels battling the monstrous creatures, while in Survival Mode you must defend humanity from an endless wave of Kaiju.

Players can command and customize up to five different Jaegers, but they must also discover and research new technology to increase their armor, power, and speed.

The game promises to explore new events and stuff “not fully revealed” in the film.
