GIGASWORD
GIGASWORD – now available on PC and console

Prepare to wield ultimate power – GIGASWORD has officially launched on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC, priced at ÂŁ12.49.

This action-puzzle metroidvania challenges players to balance the literal and figurative weight of the GIGASWORD as they traverse the ancient tower of Nestrium, uncover secrets, and face devastating enemies in a bid to protect humanity.

Set in the city of Thoenhart, a land ravaged by famine and disease, the story revolves around the God Crystal, Gnosis. Humanity’s greed and desperation awaken an ancient evil, and it falls to Ezra to climb the Nestrium, battle demonic forces, and prevent a cataclysm that could destroy the world.

Fans of puzzle-driven combat and metroidvania exploration will find a unique and rewarding challenge in this release. At least that’s the hope, but we’ll find out in full review soon.

Explore Nestrium And Discover Hidden Secrets

In GIGASWORD, players must use both brains and brawn to overcome obstacles. The tower of Nestrium is packed with hidden passages, twisting hallways, and deadly traps. Unlock doors, weigh down pressure plates, and push blocks using the sword’s immense weight. Every corner may conceal powerful items or secrets that will aid Ezra on his journey to stop the Nocturne.

This combination of puzzle-solving and exploration ensures that players must constantly adapt, innovate, and evolve to survive. The world reacts to your actions, offering both environmental challenges and combat encounters that demand strategy as well as reflexes.

Combat, Abilities And Survival

Players will face ruthless demons, corrupted bosses, and bloodthirsty fiends as they hack, slash, and dodge their way through the Nestrium. To survive, Ezra can unlock abilities like Thunder Bolts, Crawling Sparks, and Grappling Hooks, enabling both combat and traversal across the tower’s deadly floors. Every encounter is an opportunity to test skill, strategy, and the balance of the mighty GIGASWORD itself.

The game’s narrative ensures that the stakes are high – the humans of Thoenhart are desperate, and the God Crystal, Gnosis, offers a chance at prosperity if it is wielded wisely. Failure could lead to the ruin of all life, giving every player’s choice a weighty sense of consequence.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
