Gigasword swings big from the very first moment — literally. This action‑adventure platformer builds its entire identity around a weapon so massive it reshapes how you move, fight, and solve puzzles. I didn't know what to expect, but I like it and... it's one of those games I wish I could play on the Nintendo 3DS.
Players step into the boots of a knight tasked with restoring balance to a crumbling kingdom, but the real hook is how the oversized blade becomes both your greatest strength and your biggest obstacle — at the same time. Every jump, climb, and encounter demands clever positioning and timing, turning traversal itself into a satisfying test of skill. For what it's worth — you'll be on-board for more than just the blade-wielding metroidvania'sh fun based on what happened to kick it all off. Check it out:
Once the sword’s weight becomes second nature, Gigasword opens up into a smart blend of combat, exploration, and environmental problem-solving. Standard enemies — like one later introduced through the gameplay footage — as well as multi-phase boss battles demand precision over button-mashing, often turning the oversized blade into both a weapon and a liability.
The world is packed with secrets that reward experimentation, while the game’s pixel-art style and atmospheric soundtrack reinforce its classic-meets-modern vibe. Tight level design keeps the pace brisk and engaging, and for players who enjoy precision platformers where mechanics drive every decision, Gigasword delivers a sharp, memorable adventure.
Gigasword launched on multiple platforms, so players can experience it across both PC and consoles. It’s available on Steam, EPIC, GOG, as well as Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
