Koei and MTV games have combined to make an excitingly new and innovative game, Bromance of the Three Kingdoms. This game combines the seemingly incompatible genres of turn-based strategy and a relationship simulator. The goal of the game is to develop a bromance with another member of your fighting team and defend it from those wish to come in between you and your bromantically-linked benefactor. An all-new "bro-creation" system allows you to customize your own bro in everything from his stats to deepest fears. This shit is real, yo! If bro-creating isn't your cup of tea you can choose amongst several famous bromantically linked fellows, each with their own unique stats and abilities. Among them are:
-from MTV's own Bromance, Brody Jenner (don't judge me for knowing this): super effective against teen girls, he's weak against those who don't say "like" every three words
-Everyone's favorite curmudgeon, Dr. House: Although his use of a cane inhibits his mobility, it packs quite a wallop. He is also able to incapacitate foes by diagnosing them with an off-the-wall disease at the last minute.
-J.D. from Scrubs: Wario-like character but instead of riding a motorcycle and eating garlic to become Wario-man he rides his moped "Sasha" and sips appletinis to rampage in his onesie.
-Destructoid's very own Jim Sterling: Wields a mighty monocle and has the power to crush fanboys as well as being resistant to flames. However, his mere presence increases the amount of faceless enemies.
-Marcus Fenix: He has a gun with a chainsaw!! Enough said
-Many more!
The party will have to fight and defend their bromances from several different enemy types, including:
-Guys who are too "macho" to understand what a bromance is
-fanboys
-dogs: they believe they should be man's best friend
-girlfriends and wives: Remember, bros before hoes
-Dr. Cox
In addition to the turn-based strategy, a relationship simulator is included within the game. This allows you develop your bromance to increase your stats. You can choose to reenact bromances such as Dr. House and Dr. Wilson, J.D. and Turk, or even Sterling and Jack Thompson. Or you can mix and match to personalize your bromance. Ever wanted to know what would happen in a bromance between Sterling and Ashton Kutcher from Dude, Where's My Car? Bromance of the Three Kingdoms allows you to do so. In between battles, you can choose from several activities to strengthen your bromance, such as eating a steak dinner, playing sports, going to see a movie, or even talking about your "feelings."
Also included is a new and hyper-innovative feature never-before-seen in a videogame before, a hand-shake creator. That's right, not only can you have your own bromance, but you can make your own secret handshake to make all your enemies jealous. A longer and more complex handshake yields higher rewards. A strong-enough bromance increases your characters' stats when paired on a battle field, as well as providing a better wingman when trying to pick up chicks at a bar. If strong enough, a bromance can even be taken to the next level, that of the mythical "guy love."
Music: With an epic soundtrack created by one of music's finest bromances, Hall and Oates, you'll feel emotions that you didn't know existed!
Features:
-over 20 stages of turn-based-strategy action
-"bro-creation" system to make your own character
-custom hand-shake creator
-bromantically linked characters from all over pop culture
-"Maneater" by Hall and Oates
Coming soon to PS3, 360, and mobile phones at the great deal of $200 (licensing fees). Don't miss out on the greatest game ever.
This satire is an eerily accurate representation of what happens in RotTK. Without the handshaking, of course. I'll have to go back and play it with some Hall & Oates in the background, see what happens.
