To keep things fresh you constantly find new loot to upgrade your skills and switch up your loadout, and some of the upgrades are pretty wild: Expect grappling hooks, speed bursts, glowing grenades, a futuristic trash van you can summon and ride like a surfboard across your enemies, big magic laser hands that clap your enemies into oblivion, and much more! Each new pickup can radically alter your power and playstyle.

While you can fully play and enjoy <em>Shoulders of Giants<\/em> solo we decided very early on to include different coop modes in the game. One mode lets you play through with up to four players online. Personally, I think there\u2019s nothing more fun than battling through levels, squabbling over loot and then coming together to tackle massive bosses with some of your buddies!<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also another co-op mode that we are super proud of: In\u00a0 \u201cBest Friend Mode\u201d you team up with a friend, each taking control of either the frog or the robot. So effectively you are both sharing the controls of one player character which should make for the ultimate co-op challenge and some pretty hilarious encounters. In our internal playtests the \u201cBest Friend Mode\u201d regularly gets us cry laughing, but it\u2019s also a true test of friendship in the tougher encounters.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it from us for today! I hope you enjoyed the intro to our game which is coming to Xbox later this Fall.
