'The truly unique premise, coupled with stunning graphics and exciting gameplay, makes Giants: Citizen Kabuto one of the best action games in years. 9/10!' - Gamespot

On a distant planetoid covered with lush vegetation and turquoise seas, three powerful forces are about to collide in a visually-rich, fast-paced game. You play as one of three species: the technologically powerful Meccaryn (Meccs), the ethereal and siren-like Sea Reapers or a behemoth of massive proportions known as Kabuto.

Giants is an intense action shooter game that also builds in resource and base-building elements used in strategy games. Smarties and Vimps perform these functions by serving as support species. Your job is to collect them to your gain, and each group uses them differently. For instance, Meccs use Smarties to build their bases, while Kabuto eats them for energy.

However, the main thrust of this game is combat, and each class has an array of interesting weapons. The Meccs employ a destructive array of high-tech armaments; the Sea Reapers call upon magical powers and their priestess, Delphi, who wields a lethal sword, quiver of bows and casts deadly spells; while the giant Kabuto uses his massive body weight, wrestling moves and a handy adrenaline boost.

Features:

• Each race has its own distinct behaviours, strengths, and weaknesses. Playing as each of the three essentially triples the amount of gameplay.
• Manipulate the native Smarties to construct a bigger base, provide better weapons, create more powerful spells or just use them as a source of power-ups.
• Multiplayer Mayhem! Choose your favourite species or divide into teams for co-operative play. Battle up to 10 players over LAN or the Internet.
• Wield an array of exotic weaponry
