A great thing about browsing games available is finding little games you’d heard very little, or indeed no, information on and Fairytale Fights is a lovely example. Whilst wandering around MCM the first day, packed and hot, we were ready to flop onto any game without a large queue, and how glad I am that we did so!
PlayLogic developed Fairytale Fights is an hacky-slashy-cutesy-adventure game. A genre which I may have just made up instead of looking up what it’s officially listed as, but one which I think fits it pretty perfectly. You play one of 4 characters; Red Riding Hood, Snow White, The naked emperor or Beanstalk Jack, seeking to restore their rightful fairytale status after someone steals their fame. At least, I think that’s the story… I was a little distracted by pulverising gingerbread men with a waffle iron and sliding around in their blood, before enjoying pushing one of my teammates into a river of acid we were trying to jump over.
