Following their successful legal battle with Apple, Epic Games isn't resting on its laurels. Instead, they're delighting gamers with another free mobile release this week: the thrilling Gigapocalypse! This retro side-scroller draws inspiration from iconic games like Rampage and the larger-than-life world of giant monster movies and Japanese kaiju.
In Gigapocalypse, you take control of a colossal creature on a mission to trample over humanity's arrogance by demolishing cities. It's a power fantasy that combines the thrill of destruction with a nostalgic, pixel-art aesthetic, perfect for those who relish the charm of retro gaming.
But Gigapocalypse isn't just about smashing and crashing. You can also nurture and customize your own giant beast in a Tamagotchi-inspired minigame. Discover secrets to adorn your giga and its lair, or unlock pets to join your monster on its quest to level every skyscraper in sight.
It looks like Godzilla, but due to international copyright legislation, it's not
Epic Games' strategy of offering free releases has not only been a boon for PC gamers but also a fantastic way to discover hidden indie gems on mobile. Gigapocalypse offers hours of entertaining city destruction wrapped in a visually appealing package that keeps the focus on fun rather than the consequences of your rampage. It's a fresh take on classic gameplay, infused with unique elements that are sure to captivate both new and seasoned players.
