What is GIGASWORD?

This single-player, 2D action-adventure follows Ezra up the ancient tower Nestrium to stop a catastrophe. You fight demons and bosses, discover new abilities, and search the tower's halls for secrets. Your sword unlocks doors, weighs down pressure plates, and pushes blocks; leaving it behind lets you move without its weight.
