Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



The Behemoth's Twitter account popped up with a delightful nugget this afternoon. In a gameplay demonstration, Dan Paladin and Emil Ayoubkhan show how things have been coming along with the mysterious, "Game #3."

The video features what they refer to as "soul mode" (the actual name of the mode will be divulged later), a sort of "King of the Hill" game. Dan and Emil play as a team against two AI opponents as each team tries to hang on to ghostly balls, scoring points as long as they continue to hold one. While they play, they talk about some of the game elements, ways in which they're working on game balance and how we can expect another metric ton of stuff to unlock with this title.

It's pretty interesting stuff, all told, and it's nice to hear developers talk about the project they're working on in such a casual way. I particularly like that, since there's no game audio, they used the music for the Alien Homonid PDA Games in the background. If nothing else, it's enjoyable for that alone. Hit the jump to check the video out for yourself.

Wow this actually looks pretty boring. Oh well there's plenty of development time left.

I'm not going to sit here and fondle The Behemoth's hype dick, so I'm going to say that this doesn't look too interesting. I know there's time left on dev, but I'm not the least bit won over yet. I'll just go play castle crashers.

That looks orders of magnitude more boring than there other games.

I'm really curious to know why Dan Paladin seems to be the face of The Behemoth, whereas Tom Fulp remains totally behind the scenes. Is Tom Fulp unbearably ugly or something?

@Dex: Ugly? I personally don't think so. I think he's more shy than anything.

As of now, it looks far more simple than I would like. But I'm willing to wait a little longer to see what more they will do with it.

I wonder if there's a story mode behind this....cause this isn't looking too appealing...

@Dexter

It's probably a personality thing. There are a lot of talented people that own their own companies but hate doing the whole leadership and media thing. They just want to sit in their office and hack away...

I really excited about this game. But I love Castle Crashers so much that I'm also disappointed that more DLC hasn't come out.

"I wonder if there's a story mode behind this....cause this isn't looking too appealing..."

Dan Paladin says there is one right in this video. So, I remain hopeful. But yeah, this looks rather uninteresting thus far.

@ everybody who's calling this game boring

this is just one mode from the game. there are bound to be plenty of other modes out there. this looks like it'll be a party game which is meant to be picked up and played quickly with a bunch of people or something like that, akin to all the mini-games in littlebigplanet or warioware. i for one think this looks awesome and am looking forward to it.

I think this is looking cool, why all the negativity? Give it time in development, I think this is going to turn out to be a great game!

I think what they have at this point would still be reasonably fun to play but, evidently, not so much to watch.

I do love the facial expressions and end game leg growing.
