An Epic Games Store exclusive arriving in autumn

Shoulders of Giants is an action co-op game about a frog riding a robot.

Guns and swords are a useful combination, so imagine having a gat-toting frog riding on top of a blade-wielding robot. That’s essentially the cut and thrust of Moving Pictures Interactive’s roguelite co-op action adventureShoulders Of Giants, coming to the Epic Games Store later this year. They’re not quite a 21st century Banjo-Kazooie, but they’ll do in a pinch.

You can play Shoulders Of Giants solo, piloting the robot and controlling the frog-turret simultaneously. There’s also the option to team up with a pal, with one of you spawning as the frog and the other transforming into the ‘bot. Well it wouldn’t make any sense if you both controlled a leg each of the frog while the mech just sat there, would it? Apparently, there’s a four-player co-op mode too, though, so I’m guessing there’ll be two frogs and two robots in that one.

Moving Pieces have included a load of loot to collect, ranging from grappling hooks to standard explodey grenades. That should vary things up a bit from just hacking and shooting. There’s a “never ending ride of randomised levels” set on a variety of colourful planets to blast and slash your way through.

Shoulders Of Giants is out in autumn this year, with no price attached yet. You’ll have to get it from theEpic Games Storeif you’re hopping mad for it, because it’s an exclusive.
