Review: Fairytale Fights

Posted on October 27, 2009 by geelw

Platform: PS3/Xbox 360

Developer: Playlogic Game Studios

Publisher: Playlogic

# of Players: 1 – 4

Rating: M (Mature)

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. That is, provided your dreams are candy-colored and packed with mutated puppets dishing out damage on an epic, nasty scale. 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. 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. As a single-player arcade-style experience, it’s supremely hysterical, but can feel a bit lonely after a few hours. 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.

Fairytale Fights Magazine Ad (Not For The Kids!)

Posted on October 11, 2009 by geelw

Playlogic says it loud: “We’re M-rated and we’re proud!” with this hilariously bloody magazine ad for the upcoming hack ‘n slash/platformer hybrid. Pretty funny stuff if you ask me and yup, PROVES without a shadow of a doubt that this one’s NOT for the kiddies. AT. ALL. So, there.

Fairytale Fights ships on October 27, 2009. Yeah, go pre-order this one before the ban-happy crowd find out about it. It’s going to be a real doozy of ultra-violence, that’s for sure…

Fairytale Fights Achievements/Trophies List Revealed

Posted on October 9, 2009 by geelw

Here you go – most of the Achievements and Trophies in the PS3 and 360 versions of Playlogic’s upcoming beat ’em up/action/platform hybrid. I can see plenty of folks diving right into the blood sliding stuff, as it’s certainly a ton of fun (except when you go sailing off a cliff!) and from what I’ve played, nabbing loot and finding treasure chests can get addictive if you’re a completion hound that HAS to have everything. Bumping off 250 enemies with no weapons? That one should be a breeze, given the great combat system and how cool it is to use.

As for the rest? Well, read on, MacDuff…

Fairytale Fights Updated Hands-On

Posted on October 6, 2009 by geelw

Preview versions of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Playlogic’s Fairytale Fights showed up last Friday and after digging myself out from under a pile of other work, I finally got a chance to spend some quality time with the game. After diving in and coming up covered in blood and chunks a few days (and many replays) later, I’m even more impressed with how the game has progressed. The Unreal 3 powered hack ‘n slash/platformer hybrid is really coming together in this latest build and is shaping up to be an outrageous, surefire hit for hardcore gamers when it’s released on October 27. If you like your games bloody, challenging, controversial and off the charts hilarious, what’s here will keep you giddy and bouncing up and down like kids in the back seat on a Sunday drive sugar high.

Battle it out for big bucks! Playlogic is giving this year’s PAX attendees a chance to play their upcoming PS3/Xbox 360 and PC game, Fairytale Fights AND win a cool $100 gift card in the process. The outrageously hysterical (and hilariously bloody) Unreal 3-engine powered Mature-rated hack ‘n slash/platformer hybrid (*whew!*) will be on display at the show (Booth #28) during the show, which takes place in Seattle, Washington and runs from September 4-6, 2009. As if you didn’t know THAT info already…

Fairytale Fights Hands-On

Posted on August 19, 2009 by geelw

Playlogic has something very naughty up its sleeve coming to consoles and PC this fall and it’s a bloody, outrageously funny absolute blast of a “gamers game” that’s going to kick your happy childhood story time memories right in the teeth. Fairytale Fights is set to hit the Playstation 3, PC and Xbox 360 this October 27, so throw a dart at your calendar and read on… this one’s going to be a real winner. I got to sit down for about a half-hour or so with a build of the PS3 version with the game’s producer, Poria Torkan and Adam McGowan. Playlogic’s Marketing Director, both of whom were giddy as freshly fed goats over their baby. And rightly so, as this is one of those rare games that’s hilariously fun and funny as hell simultaneously. Continue reading →
