Gigantic: Rampage Edition

Gigantic: Rampage Edition is a pleasure to play, if you can get a game, and even though it has a somewhat low ceiling, there’s no denying that Abstraction knocked this out of the park.

The return of Gigantic: Rampage Edition is solid proof that the original game was prematurely closed – the quality was there, but something regarding the monetization failed to work. This revamp feels consistent, well-rounded, with good content – 25 heroes and six maps – and no microtransactions in sight. The visuals remain relevant and charming, gameplay is action-based, fast-paced, and enjoyable, and there’s little to complain. Maybe dropping free-to-play was all that Gigantic ever needed to be successful, so let’s see if this is the time when all the mythical winged creatures and toon heroe...

Nearly seven years later, and Gigantic: Rampage Edition is still just as fun to play as it was back in the genre's heyday. New additions like Rush mode are fun and make for a quicker blast, though hopefully we can find a way to deliver more major content later on. But as is, there's still a crop of fun heroes on display, all of whom are still a joy to try out, and it's just a joy to see a unique bit of action like this again, especially with Overwatch still having soured its reputation. In fact, if this takes off, maybe we can see about reviving Battleborn in a similar way next, if only becaus...

A daring and difficult mixture of hero shooter and MOBA that draws too much from the former to do the latter justice.

I had a ton of fun with this MOBA gem years back and Gigantic: Rampage Edition is here to revive the characterful online chaos.

Gigantic: Rampage Edition is an obscenely rare sight on the MOBA scene and it looks like it might take a spot among the great MOBAs currently out there.

While Gigantic makes a compelling return, the Rampage Edition isn't for everyone, especially given the combat feel and lack of certain competitive features. It's worth a shot but may struggle to retain players beyond the years-long faithful.

Gigantic: Rampage Edition is a valiant effort, and it is always great to see fans of a series or game get to revisit it. However, there’s fear that what it offers is far too little to entice many players who aren’t fans.

Like other well-designed team-based multiplayer games, Gigantic has three main classes, and its characters fit into Damage, Frontline, and Support heroes. However, the game heavily favors Damage heroes, since around two-thirds of the cast fit into that archetype. Still, characters can be effective in many categories with the game's surprisingly deep customization options relating to their abilities and cosmetics. While playing Clash mode, characters can be leveled up, unlocking new skills and buffs that can sorted into specific loadouts, helping fan-favorite characters to become more unique an...
