10 Awesome Multiplayer Video Games Nobody Played
6. Gigantic
Gigantic was a MOBA/hero shooter which truly should've stood out among the rest, what with its enticing, gorgeous art-style, neat character designs, and incredibly moreish central gameplay loop.
Yet Gigantic was in trouble from the jump, given that a large portion of its dev team was laid off almost 18 months before the game was finally released, and in an extremely crowded market, it simply failed to find the mind-share necessary to be commercially worthwhile.
And so, despite enthusiastic reviews and a small but loyal cult of hardcore fans, Gigantic's player-base cratered to less than 200 concurrent users on Steam within a few months, and that was all she wrote.
More staff at developer Motiga were laid off, and Gigantic was finally shut down for good barely a year after it first launched. A depressing fate for a game that didn't reinvent the wheel, but at least slapped it with an appealing new coat of paint.
