Fairytale Fights, the game which mashes together children’s bedtime stories and puts vicious and bloody twist on them, has had its release date announced today. Playlogic will be dropping the game on October 23rd in Europe, followed by North America on October 27th. A PC release is currently slated for 2010.
Ben Perlee liked what he saw in our recent preview of the game, noting its attention to detail in the bright, cartoonish environments and a considerable amount of gore. I love when classic stories get this kind of treatment, so I’m looking forward to seeing if Playlogic is capable of turning out a strong effort with this one.
A full press release is available after the jump. Is anybody else thinking about picking this one up?
New York—Aug 17, 2009—Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq OTC: PLGC. OB), an independent worldwide publisher of entertainment software, is pleased to announce that Fairytale Fights will be available in retail stores nationwide October 27th for Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.
Using the Unreal 3 Engine like you’ve never seen it, Fairytale Fights takes popular characters and tales from the pantheon of well known fairytales and turns them on their heads as players must fight their way through hordes of bloodthirsty enemies on a quest to restore their own personal honor and re-establish peace in the land of fairytales.
Inspired by twisted cartoons like Happy Tree Friends and Itchy and Scratchy, and featuring a wildly colorful and distinct art style, players can cooperatively complete quests in the single-player storyline or compete in chaotic multiplayer battle with up to 4 players.
Additional Game Features:
· Dynamic Slicing – Playlogic’s proprietary mechanic allows players to cut anything off of any enemy anywhere in real time, rendering repetitive collision-based canned animations a thing of the past.
· Volumetric Liquid System – Blood, acid, vomit and goop, it’s all rendered in real time allowing for any liquid to naturally combine with any other (often to hilarious ends), as well as real time trails, footprints and slipping to occur in the bloody mess.
· Co-op for up to 4 players.
· Over 100 weapons.
· One of the most distinctly unique uses of the Unreal 3 Engine on the market.
· Deep and interactive downloadable content to be released on a regular basis post launch.
In addition to its North American release, Fairytale Fights will launch in Europe on October 23rd for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3. Fairytale Fights will launch on PC in 2010. Fairytale Fights is pending rating from the ESRB.
