Shoulders of Giants

About

Shoulders of Giants lets you command a duo of mismatched heroes in a chaotic sci-fi shooter. Pilot a lumbering mech while directing a nimble amphibian sharpshooter perched on its back. Each run throws you into frantic firefights against Entropy’s twisted armies, with procedurally generated levels and gear keeping the stakes fresh. Play solo, team up with a buddy for split-screen chaos, or join forces with three others online to crush hordes of enemies. The dual-control mechanic forces quick decisions, dodge blasts with the mech while your sidekick picks off targets or recharges weapons. The game’s charm lies in its punchy art style and the tight dance of coordination required to survive. Managing both characters’ abilities and weaknesses adds layers of strategy to the action. Community feedback highlights the satisfying progression system and the sheer variety of playstyles unlocked through weapon upgrades and character synergies. With over 100 hours of content reported by early players, the roguelike structure ensures no two galactic rescues feel quite the same.

Storyline

Shoulders of Giants is an explosively colourful sci-fi roguelike designed to put your teamwork to the test. Players simultaneously control a sword-wielding robot and a gunslinging space frog, working alone, with a friend, or as one of a team of four. The forces of Entropy are spreading chaos through the stars, corrupting living planets and urging on the heat death of the universe. Led by the psychic Owl, one scrappy team of space survivors are fighting to restore the balance. A mysterious mech! A sharpshooting amphibian! Together they must mow down waves of enemies and restore light and life to the galaxy!
