So begins the story of Fairytale Fights, easily the most violent interpretation of Grimm's Fairy Tales to ever appear on a TV screen. One day, they found their starring roles in their respective tales usurped by that glory hound The Brave Little Tailor, and they suddenly were left adrift in the world of fairy tales seeking to reclaim their place in the world and plotting murder most bloody and foul.
I certainly hope so as the concept is most entertaining.Once upon a time, there were some famous literary characters: Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, The Naked Emperor, and Jack (of beanstalk fame).
Bloodshed and cute characters are nice, but what it comes down to is whether or not the level design and the boss fights are of high enough quality throughout and with the limited playtime I had at Gamescom its hard to judge whether or not those elements are fully in place. The questions I have after trying the Gamescom demo is whether the gameplay is deep enough, and whether there is any reason to replay the levels once you have made your way through them.

And although I'm not entirely convinced that this will be a recommended purchase at full retail price it does seem Fairytale Fights is filled with entertaining moments and with three friends it will almost certainly be enjoyable (but what game isn't?). The boss fights are over the top occasions that show off the wonderful design and atmosphere of the game. With two more players I assume it will become even more chaotic with blood gushing all over the place. There is usually a lot going on at any given time, and then I was only playing two player co-op. Building up your combos to fill a meter you will also be able to do some precision cutting special moves.įairytale Fights doesn't look like your typical Unreal Engine 3.0 game, but the graphics are nice and crisp and the design of environments, objects and characters help push the overall visual impression. Speaking of the enemies they are all filled with an odd red, sticky fluid that squirts out of them as The Naked Emperor, Jack, Little Red Riding Hood and the gang do their thing. There are a number of different weapons across the 20 odd levels ranging from ineffective newspaper to a somewhat sharper swordfish and they can both be used for fighting or thrown at enemies. Using the right stick to launch attack in all directions rather than mashing the face buttons may not sound very exciting, but in tight spots it does provide you with a bit more control, at least in theory. It is easy to think that Fairytale Fights is all surface and no gameplay, but the Playlogic team has actually tried to do something a little different with the controls than what you would expect. And what better way to do that than to kill bunnies with an assortment of blunt and sharp objects? Now they are out to get what belongs to them - money and fame. Relying on a foundation of simple and proven walk and brawl gameplay with up to three friends it is set in a alternative fairytale world where your favourite heroes never wound up the heroes of the stories. Playlogic's Fairytale Fights is an interesting proposition. Who can resist a candy castle in the middle of the Gamescom showfloor.
