With a seamless blend of combat styles, you’ll control Froggie’s precision ranged attacks while unleashing GERM’s swift samurai slashes, all in one fluid motion.

Welcome to the Ultimate Edition
The Ultimate edition of *Shoulders of Giants* isn’t just a remaster—it’s an entirely new galaxy to explore. The game features new classes, tougher enemies, and a host of meta and performance improvements, all wrapped in stunning graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5. Prepare for fast-paced skirmishes with higher enemy counts and even more overpowered builds, making every playthrough feel fresh and exciting.
Meet the Heroes: Froggie and GERM
In Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate, you’ll journey through the technicolor cosmos as the spacefaring warrior duo, Froggie and GERM. Froggie brings the firepower with his trusty raygun, while GERM handles the close-quarters combat with his mechanized samurai sword. Together, they must thwart an alien plot to bring about the heat death of the universe, battling everything from dragons and slimes to snipers and bosses across challenging roguelike planets.
Team Up or Go Solo
Whether you’re tackling the game’s challenges alone or with friends, Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate offers a variety of ways to play. Take on the galaxy solo, balancing the dual combat styles of Froggie and GERM, or team up with a buddy in Best Friend mode, where each player controls one hero. For an even bigger challenge, gather a squad of up to four players and dive into the action in online co-op mode, taking on the toughest monsters and bosses the game has to offer.
Build the Ultimate Combo
The game’s loot system is designed for endless experimentation. Gather gear and create millions of gloriously broken builds by mixing and matching classes, weapons, and abilities. Whether you’re powering up giant sneakers, supernatural garbage trucks, or bouncing grape grenades, Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate lets you change the pace of each run with creative and satisfying combos.
“Just as GERM carries Froggie around on their adventures, we couldn’t have remastered *Shoulders of Giants* without the support of our amazing community,” said Kyle Erf, Technical Director at Moving Pieces Interactive. “The Ultimate remaster is our way of saying thank you, and we can’t wait to see players take on the galaxy with these new updates.”
