Gigantic has gone from closed alpha to closed beta today, which brings the first opportunity for playing on your Xbox One! Seemed like a good time to start a thread.
Gigantic is a 3rd-person (Gears perspective in this case) MOBA-ish team action game.

I'm hoping to play the beta on Xbox One later tonight!

Just redeemed my code not twenty minutes ago, so I probably won't be on until tomorrow, pending download times. Not sure if this is the game that'll get me interested in MOBAs -- though to be fair, I haven't given Smite a fair shake. I love the art style, though... Love. It.
Looking forward to actually going online soon!
Just ran the tutorial this morning.
Only a little confused on format -- is it just 2v2 versus? Say you and I got on together, are we playing matches against each other? I've only gotten -- through osmosis and other means -- that something like, say, DOTA has teamwork/cooperative stuff.
Whole new genres of games can be confusing...
Remember you mentioning this Fed. Signed up for the beta and am watching the email box for instructions.
If you told them Xbox One, you should hopefully get in quickly. They are saying on their forums that they need more Xbox testers.
The servers are only live on weekends right now, so with my brother getting married last week, I still haven't played anything other than the tutorial.
Despite the return of college football, I'll try to play some actual matches this weekend!
Hoping so...still no word in my email after signing up and confirming the email address.
Looking forward to the opportunity to get in. I signed up the for the beta, but still haven't gotten in.

Check your PMs.
Thank you so much!
I have 4 keys for this and none of my friends are interested, Non-Grinders can send me a PM for them, but keep in mind you must have at least Windows 10 or an Xbox One.
You can pay me back with impressions posts here. :)
As a person not completely into MOBAs, but completely into Smite due to the camera and action-orientation, I enjoyed this from the outset. The art style is gorgeous and I enjoyed the playstyles of the few characters I've tried so far (Tripp, Knossos, and Voden).
I am curious to see how they're going to add depth, as the fairly straightforward builds (a couple of decision points per ability) and lack of items don't give you tons to think about. That said, not having tons to think about is a glorious thing when a game is fun to play and nice to look at.
I will be checking this out tonight, thanks to b12n11w00t.
I'd like a code if any are still available!
Got my code from b12n11w00t, may try this tonight if I can break away from the new Destiny content. The only vaguely MOBA-ish game I've ever really enjoyed was Monday Night Combat, which was enough of a mix of lighthearted goofy shooter and MOBA that I actually enjoyed it. That was obviously a class-based rather than hero-based game, but any similarity noticed by people who have played both it and Gigantic?
any extra codes floating around i'd like one.
Thanks!
After a bit of headache with their buggy key redemption system, I think I finally have access into the beta. Looks great so far! Can't wait to play it!

The hell you will.
Spoiler:Servers are only up on weekends so far.
Oh... Bummer.
I still have 2. Just PM me if you want one.
Got in two rounds last night, after playing the tutorial. I didn't know the beta didn't start until this weekend, maybe that's why the queue times were bad ( > 5 minutes). Overall, I had a good time. The animation and art direction are, surprise, fantastic. The text is way too small. Certain of the MOBA aspects seem counter-inuititive, like when you should attack the giant beasts vs capping turrets. Or maybe I was just dense, leading to our teams loss, but everyone is learning. First round I played the robot turret guy, and second round the healer. Both were fun and felt quite different. There is a learning curve of seeing an enemy and figuring out if you should fight or run because you just don't know what they can do. Despite some frame rate hitches, I'd be playing it again this weekend if I wasn't camping. Hopefully I can get back on next week.
Thanks for the key!
Played a couple matches. LOVE the look and the animations. Game is definitely in hardcore beta mode. There's potential here, but they need to fine tune a lot.
The art style is pretty cool and the animations are nice and fluid. Agreed that there is definitely some balancing issues that they most likely will be addressing.
I do really enjoy the level progression aspects too. You have to make decisions quickly though, if you don't want your enemy to progress too quickly and cap "flags".
I still haven't played since the switch to needing windows 10. But I do have some keys if people want to PM me. Hopefully I'll remember to check when I'm at home
