Gigantic is a 5v5 multiplayer online battle arena (or MOBA for short) with shooter elements. As part of a team of five players, you take on one of a group of heroes to battle an opposing team. Your objective is to kill the enemy team's Guardian, a giant creature of tremendous power, but to do that you'll need to awaken your own by building up experience points. Once your guardian is up, you can take the fight to the enemy's guardian and win the game.

The tools of victory

Heroes in Gigantic are varied, with their own weapons and unique skill trees, combinations of heroes give teams their distinctive characteristics. The levels are interestingly designed, with varied shapes and base positions. Control points scattered around the levels allow teams to summon and control AI monsters, each of which grants different benefits. Apart from these, the creep-type monsters you might be used to from other MOBAs aren't present here. As the game goes on, the pace picks up and spawn locations get closer to the action until it ends. The graphics are bold and cartoony, with imposing characters and detailed, exotic locations.

Join the battle

If you're a fan of MOBAs, you'll find a lot to like in Gigantic. It's accessible and fast-paced, with interesting character options and a fascinating boss mechanic in the form of the guardians. It's definitely worth checking out.
