What players say

Players compare Gigantic Army to classic mecha run-and-guns like Assault Suit Valken and Cybernator, with weighty movement and no checkpoints. A timed run is central, and players are split: some say the timer forces mastery, while others find it punishing. Controls are often called janky, especially aiming and the double-tap dash.
