Gigantic is a fast-paced, hero-based, action shooter MOBA that features vibrant, colorful, cartoonish graphics and visuals similar to Overwatch and Team Fortress 2. Alongside the official release, the game received a hefty update with additional content including a new melee hero called "Ramsay". According to Motiga, a new hero will be released every month moving forward.
As a third-person MOBA shooter, Gigantic will remind you of Battleborn and Smite. The game is free-to-play but there are two packs available, a "Starter" pack that contains eight heroes for $10 / £7.99 and the "Ultimate" pack that includes every available hero and a few other extras with a price tag of $30 / £23.99.
These are the official PC minimum system requirements:
- Operating System: Windows 7 or higher (64-bit)
- Processor: 2.6GHz
- RAM: 6GB
- Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 580, DirectX 11.1 compatible (Nvidia or AMD only)
Even though the development of the game had its ups and downs with a wait of over two years for the official release, it will be interesting to see how Gigantic measures up against the other popular MOBA titles.
