Review: Gigantic: Rampage Edition
Re-emerging after shutting down years ago, the hero shooter/MOBA hybrid Gigantic returns with an updated edition, but is it still fresh?
Differences Between Gigantic and Gigantic: Rampage Edition
While the original game utilized microtransactions, Rampage Edition is proud to have eliminated all microtransactions; players are now able to unlock all content with in-game currency earned by playing the game. The original Gigantic was free-to-play with optional purchases (similar to other games like Valorant and Overwatch). Rampage Edition, however, costs money but does not feature any further in-game purchases. Heroes, skins, emotes, you name it — they’re all able to be unlocked through a bit of gameplay.
Rampage Edition offers two gameplay modes, expanding on the one available mode in the original game: Clash and Rush. Clash, which is what the old Gigantic offered as its only mode, is a more long-winded, traditional gameplay experience. Players must eliminate their opponents' monsters while casting their own; the map also changes as the match continues, making it more difficult for players to just jump in without a plan. Rush, the new mode introduced in Rampage Edition, is centered around capturing points and gaining power – making it more inticing for players who may just want a quick, snappy game.
Which Platform(s) Are Eligible With the Limited Offer?
While available in a few other places, the free version downloaded through Epic Games Store is currently only playable on PC. Typically costing $19.99, Gigantic: Rampage Edition is available for purchase on a multitude of platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
