Developer and publisher Moving Pieces Interactive has announced the PC Steam and PS5 launch of its title Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate. Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate is an enhanced version of the co-op sci-fi action roguelike. This director’s cut delivers a fresh wave of amphibious action by overhauling the game straight from its core.
In this remastered edition, you will explore a revamped galaxy with fast-paced skirmishes and higher enemy counts. You are free to experiment with new classes to create even more overpowered builds, all wrapped up in enhanced graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5. This visually stunning version offers a thrilling journey through the technicolor cosmos.
Check out the action-packed launch trailer below:
You will join the spacefaring warrior duo, Froggie and GERM, as they work to thwart an alien enemy’s sinister plan to trigger the universe’s heat death. You can control both characters simultaneously, guiding Froggie’s raygun fire while commanding GERM’s mechanized samurai sword swings. Together, they will blast, slash, and dash through swarms of dragons, slimes, snipers, and other formidable foes across various roguelike planets to save the universe.
Whether playing solo or with friends, Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate offers versatile gameplay options. In single-player mode, you can experience the delicate balance of ranged and melee combat by switching between Froggie and GERM. Alternatively, in the Best Friend mode, the two of you can team up, each controlling one hero. For those who prefer a more collaborative approach, an alien-busting squad of up to four players can join forces in online co-op mode, tackling monsters and bosses from anywhere.
You will take on enormous bosses in epic battles, utilizing a diverse arsenal of weapons and abilities. By gathering loot, you can create millions of unique builds by mixing and matching different classes, weapons, and abilities, allowing for a different experience with each run. With a variety of power-ups available, you can spark satisfying combos using giant sneakers, supernatural garbage trucks, bouncing grape grenades, and more.
Kyle Erf, Technical Director at Moving Pieces Interactive, expressed his gratitude to the game’s dedicated community, saying:
Just as Germ carries Froggie around on their adventures, we never could have remastered Shoulders of Giants without the guidance of our supportive community. We’re psyched that they love our roguelike adventure as much as we do—the Ultimate remaster is our thank you to them. We wish them luck in their next trip across the galaxy!
Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate is now available on PS5 and PC via Steam for $19.99. The game features support for Chinese, French, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese languages. Those who already own Shoulders of Giants on Xbox and the Epic Games Store can download the ‘Ultimate’ update for free. You can grab a launch discount of 10% at Steam for a limited time as well.
