Gigantic's return has been met with joy by fans of the original game and offers a unique and enjoyable blend of MOBA and hero shooter gameplay. Players praise its vibrant art, diverse characters, and strategic depth. However, technical problems, such as server and matchmaking issues, along with some balancing concerns, are significant detractors. While the game stands out for not having microtransactions and for allowing players to unlock content through gameplay, its future success will depend on addressing the current technical and balance issues to retain and grow the player base.
