Fairytale Fights is a game developed by Play Judgment and requires you to brilliant one of four well-known family’s cartoon characters and go round slicing and dicing other unknown cartoon characters to meet their marker. It surely sounds exciting and a welcome change to the genre, but how does it’s completely cartoon setting pay off?
The game is a pretty tough to launch if I’m honest. To edit all your options and characters, you need to go your character around the main screen, but to brilliant a `Quest’ you need to go owing to the start menu. Being so used to it being vice versa, it does feel very complex. But, when you do eventually start the initially quest, you will learn these random characters with an X floating above their head. I exposed very quickly how dull they are, but how oh so essential they are to before a live audience the game. It would be excellent to have key information like attack controls just thrown up on the screen as of when it happens, but it does make the pace quicker, mainly for replays.
The game takes place in a very 2D environment. You are simply running along the screen, owing to various different obstacles and events. You are never behind your character, or looking owing to the eyes of your character. This does mean when you encounter enemies, which are, let’s being honest, the most vital part of the game, there can be up 20 on the screen at a time. When you start, you can only punch them, but after a few fights, you will unlock weapons like meat bones and cleavers. These do not break, and are extremely effective. This can help produce more violent gore and you are in the middle it all. Occasionally a team mate may help, but don’t bank on it. Also when a team mate does help, when you dice them it shows rather graphically on the left of the screen. If you slice an rival by a special attack it also appear s on the left of the screen, which is very confusing and you never know where you stand.
Graphically this game is reasonably excellent. The whole world is hand-drawn in a cartoon style, which doesn’t lag at all. The blood is also very comic having the thickness of say ketchup. But, and mainly apparent in one mission, the environments are very repetitive, therefore a significance of de ja vu will surely come owing to. This is probably the largest letdown of the whole game since you would expect to have more funky environments but all you get in your mind is `I swear I’ve voted for this tree before’.
But now I’ve mentioned the sound, I have just loaded up Fairytale Fights to check whether it has any. This shows just so how well the sound must be fixed for me to remember it. It does come with some fairytale sort of music, and during gory bits it’s more rowdy and you constantly hear your foes flop to an early burial chamber. It’s very unrealistic but then so is the game.
There is an arena mode which allows you play the missions again but with a time trial limit, and you can also take both of these modes online and play them competitively or cooperatively with your buddy. The game isn’t built for online, but, and does crumple apart reasonably easily. Also, due to the lack of players, it surely doesn’t help the matter. Besides these four modes, you get to brilliant four characters and a variety of options and that’s it. The game is over in less than 5 hours anyway so it surely doesn’t have the longevity or hilarity this game should.
I was in fact looking forwards to the title, and in some ways pleasantly surprised, but its repetitive nature and its hard-to-spot instructions surely let the side down. If you ever see it in the bargain bin, knock yourself out, you could do a lot worse.

This game is just so what you imagine it to be. . Fairytale people being violent! The only business that’s a bit annoying is because it’s a platform game, the camera is viewing your character on the side so when you jump onto a platform, you can so easily misjudge it and fall off. . . More than once! But in adage that, all it takes is practice!
If you are the type of gamer that doesn’t care about graphics, reality and likes the thought of before a live audience a fairytale creature with a twist – this game is for you!

The premise is fantastic, hack and slash jump in jump out gameplay, but it soon gets very repetitive. Bought it then took it back 3 days later as I had had gotten everything out of it I could. It feels like you’re always waiting for something to happen. . . . and it never comes. The visuals are excellent, but each level is very similar, and the money system is devoid of any use as all you use the money for is to buy a statue of yourself, which serves no purpose. Even the online play fizzles out reasonably soon as it just consists of the same tale, but with online players.
