![]() ![]() More game features and details will be released in the coming months. In addition, Fairytale Fights is built using Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3. Fairytale Fights features state-of-the art graphics, numerous characters and dozens of missions, as well as a variety online and offline co-op capabilities. Blood will splatter across surrounding trees and leaves, and players will even have the ability to skid through puddles of blood left by fallen foes. "The game combines a truly unique storyline and fantasy environment with simple intuitive controls to offer players a whole new level of bloody slice-and-dice gaming." Playlogic's proprietary in-house technology makes Fairytale Fights the first game ever in which players can truly dynamically slice through 3D models in real-time! The technology also includes a volumetric liquid system, which gives liquids realistic properties. "Fairytale Fights is the creative brainchild of our talented development team at Playlogic Game Factory and that's why we wanted it to be the first next-gen title that Playlogic is building in-house from the ground up," said Rogier Smit, executive vice president for Playlogic. Luckily, many different weapons lay strewn throughout the fairytale kingdom, which players can use to slice and dice their way through swathes of cute fluffy bunnies and imposing enemies. While embarking on a seemingly innocent journey to save a colorful fantasy world from certain disaster, players traverse a series of colourful and enthralling levels filled to the brim with action-packed combat and fairytale-style storylines. This game had so much potential to be something other than a critically-panned attempt at mixing dark humour with bedtime stories, unfortunately it missed the mark and resulted in the developer Hydravision Entertainment closing its doors.Īt the end of the day, this isn’t the next Little Big Planet or God of War (even if the beaver boss could pass for GoW’s Hades), but it’s a great blend of two already established ideas in a concept that’s hard to pull off, and even harder to beat.Fairytale Fights is a truly twisted hack'n'slash platform adventure where players assume the role of a much-loved fairytale character, whose glory days have long since passed. You have to take on bosses like Pinocchio and the Pied Piper. ![]() The NPCs in the game include rats, beavers, lumberjacks, rabbits, gingerbread men, wolves and so many more. ![]() It’s definitely what a lot of the development focused on, as other than the weapons the game feels glued together and disjointed, leaving you yearning for something more, but also laughing yourself to death. The weapons have a star system with 1 star being the worst and 5 being the best, ranging from twigs to sickles, giant scissors to broadswords. Of course this leads to a final showdown, which considering you can infinitely respawn for a small amount of coins makes for more annoyance than difficulty. The story makes no sense at all, a new character in town is stealing all of your fame in order to write you out of your own fairytales, swooping in at the last minute to steal your thunder, taking all the credit for himself. The bad stuff just makes it even more hilarious as you pull off a special Glory Mode attack, hitting a rabbit in slow motion just to watch it flop over as it squeaks like a fresh oiled hinge. As long as you have someone with you to laugh at your misfortune, you’ll forgive this cute little package of animated gore.Īmong this blood-drenched escapade through Taleville, you encounter a large amount of different enemy types, a huge variety of weapons and unprecedented amounts of fun. It gets repetitive, it will keep spawning you in the middle of a difficult platforming section where you’ll die the second you spawn until you reload the last checkpoint. There are points in the game where you feel like quitting, the game tests you and really tries to break you. When playing cooperatively, this side scrolling hack n’ slash can completely obscure the screen if you and your player 2 both get a kill worthy of a close-up. Not being able to see anything as your character is hacked to death repeatedly by a band of lumberjacks is just the icing on the cake. It stands up to the likes of the Resistance trilogy, the Call of Duty games and many others and comes out on top flaunting it’s addictive gameplay and horrible, eye-gouging camera angles.
