Swedish developer Shortfuse Games (best known for their Xbox LIVE indie title Colosseum) has announced it’s currently developing Alive & Undead, a 2D brawler set to hit PlayStation Network in the fall of 2010.
In the 2-player brawler players choose from Mr. Smith, a vampire Elvis impersonator, or Welson the “femme-fatale witch” hunter. From what it sounds like, Alive & Undead sticks close to the beat ’em up formula, with the announcement promising air juggles and cooperative attacks to crush hordes of undead creatures.
“Alive & Undead is a brutal, uncensored vampire quest sprinkled with clichés of both side-scrolling beat ’em ups and sub-culture phenomena,” president of Shortfuse Games Johan Hermerén said in a press release today.
