Fairytale Fights may surprise. Underneath the cutesy veneer lies a bloody -- dare we say, visceral -- game. Developer Playlogic Games Factory released a new teaser trailer for the brawler this afternoon. The video throws the game’s candy-inspired visuals to the pavement with the roar of a few chainsaws and several ferocious spurts of crimson. Oh -- there’s gore, too. Flying skull caps, folks!
Catch the action below the fold if you fancy watching impish women flash across a brilliant white background while harnessing chainsaws.
Just a reminder: Fairytale Fights hits the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC “holiday” this year. We’ve had limited access to the title, but saw a bit of brilliance during a recent hands-off session. Make sure to give that a once-over if you’ve ears perked after watching this trailer.
"impish women flash" Conjured up a different mental image to the video.
The screencap reminded me vaguely of Ecstatica - I was disappointed to find that it didn't follow through. Actually looks POTENTIALLY OKAY and we haven't had a decent new beat'em up recently.
Remember when fairytales were dark and meant to teach children to man up or die? Why is it that today we surgarcoat fairyatles to tell children as entertainment instead of as a cautionary tale?
