Our take on GIGABUSTER
The focus on fast movement and repeatable action leaves less room for mandatory narrative pacing. Dialogue and cinematics can be skipped, while a range of movement abilities is available from the start, putting less emphasis on gradually unlocking basic traversal.
What is GIGABUSTER?
In GIGABUSTER, Liz sets out to stop corporate mergers involving the GEC, a monopoly funding the mysterious Happiness Project.
The game features 9 companies to infiltrate, and most stages can be tackled in any order. Liz can dash, jump twice, climb walls and fences, grab ceilings, use a grappling hook, dive-kick, and grind on rails. Combat includes weapons such as spears, axes, and bats, along with abilities triggered by button combinations and a meter for stronger moves. Exploring stages can uncover powerups; shops sell upgrades, and armor changes Liz’s appearance. Several movement abilities are available from the start, with upgrades extending them. Dialogue and cinematics, including the intro stage, can be skipped on repeat playthroughs.
