UNBOUND SAGA Pummels its Way onto
XBLA
Video Game Brawler Leaps off the
Comic Page and onto Xbox 360
Vogster Entertainment has announced
the upcoming release of the satirical Comic Book-themed Brawler, Unbound Saga,
storming the Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) this summer.
The game features self-aware comic
book tough guy Rick Ajax and his saucy vixen partner, Lori Machete, in an epic
journey to escape the confines of their 2-dimensional existence. Along the way,
they battle a huge variety of madcap bad-guys and diabolical bosses thrown in
their path by The Maker, the mysterious giant hand that created the world of
Toxopolis for his own entertainment.
Unbound Saga, has been built from
the ground up to take advantage of the power and online play capabilities of the
Xbox360 and XBLA. Players can take up the fight alone or battle it out in two
player co-op, controlling either Rick or Lori, each with their own fighting
style and special, upgradable abilities. Players can unlock new moves and skills
to fit their own gaming style: build Rick into a powerful, destructive tank who
can destroy objects and use the pieces to pummel his enemies into oblivion, or
train Lori in her mystical "Shadow Arts" and stealthy martial skills. With over
100 fully destructible environments and 10 ‘issues’ of adventure, they have
their job cut out for them.
Unbound Saga was created and
produced by veteran comic book writer Mike Kennedy (Star Wars, Superman, Alien
vs Predator), who also wrote the original comic book published by Dark Horse
Comics. Kennedy will be debuting the game at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment
Expo (www.c2e2.com) April 16-18, offering fans a chance to play the full title
for themselves.
"Unbound Saga is that perfect
marriage of two awesome entertainment mediums: comic books and video games,”
said Kennedy. “We made this thing out of our lifelong admiration of both,
lovingly poking fun of each industry at the same time. Insiders might get a kick
out of the subtle jokes, but we made sure to keep it super-accessible to anyone
who picked up a controller. It’s just pure, simple fun!"
