Giants: Citizen Kabuto
Description
Giants: Citizen Kabuto is an action game developed by Planet Moon Studios and released by Interplay Entertainment in 2000 for the Windows operating system. This humorous and innovative game is set on a fictional island where three races clash - the Meccaryns, the Sea Reapers and most importantly the giant creature Kabuto.
The game begins with the story of two Meccaryns - Delphi and Max, who are trying to find their way off the island. They soon discover that the island is full of dangerous creatures and fighting. However, as time goes on, other characters become involved in the story, such as the mad professor and his sidekick Mac, who are researching the Guardians' technology, which is the key to defeating Kabuto.
The game's controls are simple and intuitive. The player can move in all directions using the keyboard and fling objects or use weapons with the mouse. Each race has its own specific combat abilities and the player can choose to play as Meccaryns, a skilled pilot with special abilities, Sea Reapers, powerful warriors capable of turning into fish, or the gigantic Kabuto, who controls the island and has an infinite amount of power.
The most amazing element of this game is nature itself. The island is full of beautiful scenery - from beaches to forests to cliffs. The graphics are very high quality for their time and still stand the test of time well. The sound of the game is also of a high standard. The music is atmospheric and promotes tension throughout the game, while the dubbing of the characters is humorous and faithfully reflects their characters.
As far as dealing and interacting with NPCs (Non-Player Characters) is concerned, the Giants have nothing to be ashamed of here. Each NPC has its own unique character and witty dialogue. The player has the opportunity to interact with them and thus gain information and quests.
But the biggest attraction of this game is undoubtedly the multiplayer. The ability to compete with friends in combat on networks or over a local network is a great way to extend the life of the game.
Although the game can be a bit chaotic at times and the combat component can be repetitive, the great humor, funny characters and most importantly the original approach to the game world make Giants: Citizen Kabuto an unforgettable experience. It's a game that tries to be something different than other action games, and in that regard it succeeds perfectly.
If you like action games with an innovative approach and beautiful environments, you will definitely enjoy Giants: Citizen Kabuto. The variety of characters, the wit, and the great multiplayer put this work right where it belongs in terms of review quality - at the top.
