Hearing him call out “REKT” in his upper class accent when my character succumbed to a swarm of spiders did make me snort just a little. The dialogue is occasionally amusing with almost constant narration from the sardonic commentator. It looks quite lovely, though, with pretty, colourful arenas to smash things in. It adds a certain amount of replayability to what is essentially a fairly mindless and repetitive game. Once the campaign is finished, there is a Grindhouse mode which allows you to replay the levels again with certain modifiers and challenges placed on it.

With the ability to change class at any checkpoint there is always plenty of opportunity to switch things up a little bit and try something different, with the loot shared between co-op partners, so there is no worry about being placed in a game with a loot hoover who takes all the goodies for themselves. The co-operative works very well, and players can join in or leave at any time. In terms of balance, all four seem reasonably well complemented when playing in co-op, but when playing solo I found that the melee characters seemed to have the upper hand with the ranged characters swiftly getting overwhelmed by swarms of enemies.

Killing enemies will also fill up your “Awesome Sauce” meter which you can trigger when full making your attacks far more powerful.Ĭheckpoints are littered frequently throughout the levels and you can change your class at any one of these checkpoints allowing you to mix up the game play just a little. Health is restored by eating cake that enemies periodically drop, and scoffing too much will transform your character into an obese ham-fisted thug for a short while. However, with only two attack moves, one normal and one hard, the game play essentially boils down to a lot of button mashing. All are fairly standard with just enough difference between each to make them worth trying out.

Each one does require a bit of strategy though, for example: damage can only be achieved whilst using your “Awesome Sauce” meter, or you need to trap the boss before it can be damaged, but they are simplistic and don’t offer much more in terms of challenge to enemies you encounter on the way.Ĭombat is limited to four character classes, with two focused on ranged attacks (a Mage and an Archer), and another two focused on close quarters (a Warrior and an Engineer). Each one follows the same pattern: throw lots of enemies at you, dodge the power attacks, then focus all energy on the boss.

The story is sketchily drawn: the Bitter Queen is out to steal the titular fat princess (or actually, in this case both the red and blue princesses), and it’s your job as a mercenary to find them rescue them, fighting your way through hordes of enemies that range from spiders, to rotten cake with the culmination of a three part boss battle towards the end of each area.īoss battles provide an opportunity for more interesting loot, but sadly they are a little dull.

The story is ranged over seven chapters, and the focus is very much on loot with opportunities to upgrade your favourite pieces at various blacksmiths dotted around the maps. However, a spiritual sequel this is not, and rather than the tug-of-war of the various multiplayer modes, Adventures opts for a Gauntlet-style hack and slack adventure game, playable on your own or in co-op with three other players. With that in mind I was very much looking forward to trying out Fat Princess Adventures. The real-time action strategy game with an amusing turn on the classic capture the flag mode was, by all accounts, an under-rated classic. I will admit to missing out on the original Fat Princess back in 2009.
