Giants: Citizen Kabuto
Developer Planet Moon Studios
Giants: Citizen Kabuto is a third-person shooter video game with real-time strategy elements. It was the first project for Planet Moon Studios, which consisted of former Shiny Entertainment employees who had worked on the game MDK in 1997.

Absolute embarassment. It's criminal such a buggy game can be released on steam to be sold for money. I thought I would return to a childhood favorite for old times sake but boy oh boy bugs galore. Freezes constantly. Units would phase in and out of reality. I tabbed out and it somehow managed to stick my windows in x820 or some super zoomed in mode that does not go away after shutting off the computer. Don't ever …

I've played this game for 15+ years. One of the best shooters I've ever played and base building is a lot more fun than you would think. there's only 3-4 of those levels, but if you can get friends to play. This game is not only worth it for the campaign being funny as hell, but multiplayer is worth it with friends! If you wish to play with friends online download the 1.497 patch.

Since I went linux, no matter if its X11 or Wayland this game will work flawlessly without any problems. It performce better than it ever did in windows back when it was released. Very happy. It will also work on steamdeck 100%. By the way, this was my husband's and my first game on pc and we are happy …

Played this back when it was released, almost 20 years ago. And plan on replaying it again as it really seems to have aged wonderfully. I've only replayed about 5 of the missions (I think there's about 30 in all) and I'm sure I can already recommend it, even after all this time. The main charm of this game is the fantastic writing and really funny script. It's chock full of British humor, and the voice acting is …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Planet Moon Studios' blending of two genres in Giants has earned the acclaim of reviewers. Game Revolution and GameSpot found the simplified real-time strategy task of resource gathering in Giants more interesting than tedious, and Troy Dunniway, Microsoft's Head of Game Design in 2002, commented that the real-time strategy elements enhanced the game's shooter aspect rather than making it a hybrid of two genres. Sci Fi Weekly was impressed that both styles of play never interfered with each other, which was complemented by the unique gameplay of each race. The Entertainment Depot, however, found the base building in several missions tedious; they said the player had to rebuild the base…
