Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate, a director’s cut of the co-op sci-fi action roguelike from developer Moving Pieces Interactive, is set to restore harmony to troubled planets on PlayStation 5 and Steam starting Monday, August 12.
Enhanced Gameplay and Visuals
Return to a vivid remaster in Ultimate. Enjoy boosted graphics with a shiny new upgrade to Unreal Engine 5, ready up for more chaotic combat with a higher on-screen enemy count, wackier game-breaking builds with new class options, and much more.
Roguelike Adventure with Unique Heroes
Embark on a roguelike ride through a galaxy plagued by the chaos-seeking forces of Entropy with fast friends Froggie and GERM. Unleash Froggie’s amphibious shooting skills and GERM’s samurai swordplay concurrently on ruthless aliens and bosses. Take out the invaders and prevent the heat death of the universe!
Dynamic Combat and Co-op Modes
Charge into battle as both heroes, wielding a satisfying, fast-paced blend of melee and ranged combat against alien dragons, psychic slimes, skittish snipers, and other challengers. Change the pace and team up with a buddy to each take control of one hero in Best Friend mode, or invite a squadron of up to four to the battle in online co-op.
Extensive Customization and Replayability
Become gloriously overpowered thanks to extensive loot collections from downed bosses. Experiment with abilities, weapons, and classes to create millions of different combinations, making each run unique. Set off explosively colorful combos by synchronizing equippable skills like glowing grenades, grappling hooks, holographic decoys, and more!
Kyle Erf, Technical Director at Moving Pieces Interactive said
“We’ve come a long way since the original Shoulders of Giants launched. Ultimate’s upgrades bring our passion project to the next level, aligning it closer to our vision. The graphics are sharper than ever, and we’re unveiling some new enemy tech that lets us get many times more creatures on screen than at launch. We hope the community journeys back to our handcrafted galaxy and sees what we’ve done with the place!”
Launch Details
Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate will bring the fight against Entropy to PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam on Monday, August 12, for $19.99 USD with Chinese, French, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese language support.
