Invite a non-gaming friend or someone who’s interested in FF to drop by and play the game in co-op and within seconds, they’re running, jumping and kicking polygon puppet ass along with you. Hell, the fact that there’s NO need to spend a half hour figuring out what button presses do what and how fast or slow you need to do them makes the game all the more accessible. That particular critical straw man is a stupid reviewer trick that needs to be shut down, as it’s keeping a LOT of people from enjoying games more. Sure, it’s all too easy to whip out attacks in the game, but why shouldn’t it be? “Innovation” doesn’t need to be part of every game’s controls, folks. You move with the left stick and attack with the right stick, which works extremely well with not too much of a learning curve (unless you’re somehow resistant to using the right stick for pulling off moves). Colorful visuals and aside, the M-rated content here is absolutely NOT for the wee ones in the family and the game never pretends it’s even close to “family friendly.”Ĭombat is straight up arcade style fun, as in nicely simple enough so anyone can pick up and play the game without worrying about arcane combos or busting up a controller out of sheer frustration. Gameplay is a mash-up of plenty of chase ‘n chop action and classic platforming elements familiar since the days of Mario and Sonic. The four characters set out to get their stories back and anyone in their way is fair game for whatever weapons they can get their hot little hands on. The four main characters, all familiar fairy tale legends, have had their stories stolen by Little Boy Tailor, a scarred up crazy that wants their tales for his own superstar story. The plot is a total hoot, mixing in gobs of violence with classic fairy tale stereotypes and yanks you right in from the opening movie. The game takes the Unreal 3 engine places it’s never been before, instantly impressing with some of the most fantastically stylized visuals you’ll see to date. However, with up to three friends, the game is a complete blast to play – provided everyone’s platforming skills are up to the game’s deathtraps and occasionally brutal boss battles. As a single-player arcade-style experience, it’s supremely hysterical, but can feel a bit lonely after a few hours. Although the game probably isn’t going to impress those jaded players looking for total perfection and “innovation” seeping out of every corner, it’s got more than enough style to keep those who love the sub-genre playing ’til the cows come home.
FAIRYTALE FIGHTS GAMEDEVELOPER PLUS
Fairytale Fights packs in its entire running time with tons of humor plus more gallons of blood and severed limbs than you’d find in certain zombie-killing franchises. That is, provided your dreams are candy-colored and packed with mutated puppets dishing out damage on an epic, nasty scale.
After a long development cycle it’s finally here, it’s pretty darn bloody and it’s a hack ‘n slash fan’s dream game.
