Remember Gigantic? You know, the recently announced online action game with MOBA elements in which you protect some giants that duke it out? Well, Alex Van Lepp has informed us about a similar game that is currently available on Steam (via its Early Access program) that is being developed by Human Head Studios and Atari, called Minimum.
Minimum is described as a fast-paced, session-based shooter that pits teams of five against each other with powerful, craftable weapons.
“At the core of Minimum is a blueprint crafting system where players collect resources to create customized, upgradable weapons and armor that power-up during kill streaks, enabling skilled warriors to become deadlier as matches progress.”
Developed by Human Head Studios, Minimum features full Steam integration, allowing them to trade crafting items, blueprints and other acquired items with their fellow Steam members.
The biggest feature of Minimum is its Titan mode (in which players protect their Titan) but as you’d expect, Minimum also features a Team Death Match Mode, where 5v5 matches take place, but without the giant Titan.
The game is currently available via its Early Access program and as Alex noted, it will be leave Early Access in the next couple of months.
Enjoy!

Human Head should’ve been focused on Prey 2 instead of another MOBA.
They didn’t have a choice thanks to Bethesda. Most folks don’t create a studio just to sell it, especially to a publisher that has no problem bankrupting you.
To clarify, I meant that Bethesda should’ve let them continue working on Prey 2 instead of telling them to scrap the Idea all together and work on some generic MOBA.
I wish Prey 2 saw the light of day. It looked incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPkHZfjK5z4
it is, a true beauty. I always wanted a bladerunner looking game, unfortunately F*CKING BETHESDA HAPPENED.
human head wanted too, but besthesda are assholes and cash grabbers and gave them the axe. i no longer buy besthesda games, not like they but anything good out anyways. all games from them are added to my pirate list automatically.
Not disagreeing with you but just because you don’t like them doesn’t give you a right to pirate them, This isn’t Ubi we are talking about where they stuff DRM down our throats. Support the devs if not don’t play it at all.
deal with it, go suck up to megalomaniac companies elsewhere.
wow thats how you justify it, what a piece of sh*t.
Sooooo… no textures, no models and no actual effort are okay by today’s industry standards?
I don’t know if it’s because I’m old school, but I find beauty in raw polygons. I don’t think the character models are all that great in Minimum (as far as raw-polygonal characters go), but they don’t bother me as long as the game is fun.
Heck, I love Floating Point and the main ‘character’ is a dot. A DOT.
I like Floating Point too, but it is a free simple game to relax. This thing here isn’t lowpoly like games from ’96-’02 era. It’s just grey blocks sprinkled with particle effects.
Minimum isn’t f2p and has bot support. The MOBA elements are very light. It’s certainly it’s own thing. Plays more like og Unreal Tournament with crafting than most online shooters today.
The 3rd person thing is what bothers me most.
Looks okay but I feel it will turn out to be another niche game and not many people will play it.
