It’s been available elsewhere for a few days already but now Big Ant Studios’ Masquerade: The Baubles of Doom is available to download on Xbox One.
A psychedelic-comedy action-adventure game, Masquerade can be picked up for £11.99 and promises brawling, combos and a huge number of takedowns and specials as you inflict damage on a whole range of unique enemies and bosses. There are also numerous high-wire platforming challenges to overcome as players traverse the game’s sprawling fantasy environments.
Set in a realm where a blue-skinned, hammer-wielding jester named Jaxx wages war against an evil army of clowns, Masquerade: The Baubles of Doom is a throwback to the silly humor, colorful worlds and ridiculous characters of classic platformers and brawlers. It features brightly animated cutscenes and artwork to bring its lighthearted comic energy to life.
Game Description:
Masquerade is an action-adventure set in the fantasy world of The Realm, centered around a battle for the mythical Druid Orbs, the most powerful pair of balls in all the land. For it was said that whomever possessed the Orbs, possessed the power to rule all. From foreign shores came the Clowns, an army of morose maniacs determined to find the Orbs. And so began the Great Clown Invasion. Join Jaxx, the wise-cracking jester, and his beautiful enigmatic partner in crime, Comedia. Armed with a map that reveals the secret location of the Orbs, Jaxx and Comedia soon find themselves on the run from the Clown Army. With Comedia captured, you must guide Jaxx to rescue her AND stop the map from falling into the hands of those diabolical, evil, merciless, despicable, Clowns!
You can grab Masquerade from the Xbox One Games Store right now.
