Gigantic Offers Spotlight On Hero Wu

Gigantic is an interesting take on the MOBA genre. It’s highly stylized, and lets you pick from a group of 16 heroes (just to start, more are to come), and team up to battle another set of heroes. Adding to the intrigue is that you battle aside a Guardian, one you have to protect as you fight your foes. The winners are the ones who wipe out the other sides heroes and Guardian first.

The game doesn’t have a release date yet, however, it is in beta, and the team at Motiga are slowly releasing info on their heroes. The newest video, which you can see below, focuses on the martial arts master frog, Wu.

“At the juncture of brashness and serenity, passion and calm, fury and skill…there is Wu. His training encourages him to leave emotions behind, but he treats every battle as a joyous celebration.

—Blau-Grau of the 12 Monks”

Wu is a fast and furious combo fighter, which is perfect given his martial art skills. Furthermore, because of his frog skills, he can use his tongue as a weapon too. In fact, it has a range of 20 feet! That’s pretty cool. Using his frog form and abilities, you can stun, hurt, and even launch other characters into the air with his strikes. Or, using the tongue, bring them to you Scorpion style (GET OVER HERE!!!).

His best stat is his mobility, though his strength isn’t too bad either. There are 15 other characters in Gigantic for you to look at and test to see if they match YOUR skills. Gigantic is set to arrive for Xbox One and PC this year.
