I'm a simple man, a simple man who loves frogs. Thankfully, many indie devs seem to share my passion, what with the deluge of games starring the little green amphibians coming down the pike. One of the most exciting yet is Shoulders of Giants, recently showcased at the Epic Store Summer Show.
This action roguelike sees you controlling a space frog piloting a samurai mech suit, switching between the two to handle ranged and melee attacks respectively. The game supports up to four player co-op, and sees the amphibious warriors doing battle with the «forces of entropy» and restoring life to barren landscapes, a feature that reminds me of the PS2 classic, Okami. From the game's Epic store page:
«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 cut through waves of enemies and restore light and life to the galaxy!»
Shoulders of Giants will be released exclusively on the Epic Games Store this Fall.
