Fairytale fights gamedeveloper1/9/2024 ![]() I’ll spoil the first two for you provide the rest of the review spoiler free. Along with those flannel wearing thugs you will have to fight against the trees themselves armed with deadly wooden chainsaws! To keep things rolling you will also have to deal with two boss characters before you finish up a well rounded introduction into Fairytale Fights. Lumberjacks will be your main enemy here in their many variations. The first themed level you will be placed deep in the heart of a forest that climaxes up to a final battle at a lumber mill. Fairytale Fights doesn't have much depth behind its plot, although the themed levels that make up each chapter (20+) feel unique while adding enough variation. Starting in the search for a giant kettle you will journey down the remorseless path of violence that instantly slaps a wall of dynamics over the characters we have all come to know over our lifetime. Opening this bloody storybook will get you started on the first chapter entitled "Grand Theft Kettle". This red is more than a food basket deliver- she is a deadly killing machine! Along with Little Red you can also play as the fairest in all the land “Snow White”, the man who deals up magic beans “Jack”, and “The Emperor” from The Emperor’s New Clothes. The lead characters are “Little Red” from Ridding Hood fame but this Little Red isn’t so sweet, or innocent in Fairytale Fights. Each heroes is looking to save the land while earning respect and recognition. The back-story in this bloody tale has the player involved in a bloody-thirsty fight against evil forces that overtook the land. In basics Fairytale Fighters is a hack’n’slash platform adventure game that takes our beloved fairytales from our past and twists them into something more evil, more violent. So if I have peeked your interest, lets continue. Lastly, Fairytale Fights is a RARE title period-and not in RARE game developing way, its simply rare-as in unusual. What’s the connection with RARE? Well Microsoft now owns RARE. ![]() ![]() The similarities don’t stop there, in a sort of six degrees of Kevin Bacon way, Fairytale Fights plays a little bit like the Microsoft published Whacked! (2002) That premiered as an original Xbox launch title. Even the action is similar, although Fairytale is more simplified then a RARE title, it has the violence and subtleties their classic titles. Immediately after loading up the disc Fairytale Fighters reminded me of the blocky cartoon styled of Grabbed by the Ghoulies (2003) combined with the wrong-but so right humour of Conker. Fairytale Fights feels like a type of game RARE would have made if they where just a little bit more twisted. ![]() ![]() If you didn’t see the opening “Playlogic” logo flash on the screen you could easily mistake Fairytale Fights for a game developed by RARE. You would swear the team over at Playlogic are all vampires because this fairytale fighter is one for the bloodsuckers! So inch a little closer to see what’s really hiding under Grandma’s sheets. Fairytale Fights is an intriguing brawler created to reunite gamers with their inner love for fairytales- if fairytales starred Jason Voorhees that is. The Fairytale Kingdom will never be the same as Playlogic introduces Fairytale Fights for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. ![]()
