Giants: Citizen Kabuto

4 critics 80 lists ★ 3.4/5 RAWG ActionAdventureRPG

Before man climbed down from the trees to shop in megastores and drink cappuccino, before the Earth wadded itself into a cool blue ball, before the Moon even existed, there was the Island. The Island, a massive fragment of a long-lost planet, hurtling blindly through space. Upon the surface of this paradise wanders the giant, Kabuto. Little does Kabuto know that the Island was home to others before him. In the oceans, there dwells a matriarchal race called the Sea Reapers. In their pride, they created Kabuto, as a defense against intruders. But Kabuto became conscious of himself, his loneliness, his pain - and he went berserk. Space castaways, the Meccs piloted their ship through space, look

The Generation GapWhat our critics say

The MechanicGen X

Where else could you play as a giant, rock-flinging monster, a jetpack-wearing commando, or a spell-casting sea nymph in one game? Giants: Citizen Kabuto was a brilliantly eccentric blend of third-person action, RTS, and pure irreverent humor. Its distinctive art style, massive scale, and genuinely funny dialogue made it an unforgettable, genre-defying adventure that truly stood apart.

The Story DecoderMillennial

This game was pure, unadulterated madness. *Giants: Citizen Kabuto* allowed you to switch between three wildly different factions: the tiny, resource-managing Meccaryns, the magic-wielding Sea Reapers, and the colossal, island-smashing Kabuto. It blended FPS, RTS, and third-person action with a bizarre sense of humor. Modern developers wouldn't dare greenlight something so ambitious and weird today; too many focus groups would kill it. A true testament to creative freedom.

The Meta-EconomistGen Z

Okay, this is a throwback that still slaps! *Giants: Citizen Kabuto* (from 2000!) is wild – you switch between tiny, super-powered Commandos, a wizard alien chick, and a colossal monster named Kabuto. It’s got this bonkers blend of third-person shooter, RTS, and pure chaotic fun. The humor is peak late-90s/early-2000s, and the gameplay mechanics were way ahead of their time. Seriously, dust off your old PC or grab it on GOG; your chat will be howling.

Imagine playing as a giant monster. Or a tiny, jetpack-wearing commando. Or a magic-wielding mermaid. This game has it all. It blends third-person action. It mixes in real-time strategy. And it delivers constant laughs. The world is vibrant. The characters are hilarious. It’s a wild, imaginative ride. And it constantly reinvents its gameplay. It’s truly unlike anything else.
