Gigantic (Beta)

[Transient]

I downloaded the Beta for Gigantic and gave it a whirl tonight. It's a 3rd person 5v5 MOBA and it seems pretty slick so far. You summon creatures on a map at fixed locations to help your team, and kill enemies and enemy summons to power up your gigantic AI-controlled avatar, who then pins down the enemy avatar so you can weaken it. There are over a dozen heroes to choose from, with typical unlocks like skins and new heroes you can buy with in-game currency or real world money (at least that's where I assume the second form of currency comes from). You have multiple abilities and you can level up over the course of a match to upgrade attacks. It can get pretty chaotic, but there's plenty of room for tactics if you have a team of non-randos. It uses your XBox/Windows friends list and I think it's cross-platform compatible between XBone and Windows 10, as I see a bunch of Q3Wers in my friends list. Below is a gameplay video to give you an idea of what it's like. No commentary, and it's long, so just skip around.

I don't know if the game will catch on, but it has potential. Hoepfully it doesn't fizzle out like Battleborn. It deserves a chance, at least
