Need to get away from the serious shooters and introduce a dose of comedy to your gaming sessions? Masquerade: The Baubles of Doom could well be for you.
Big Ant Studios have today announced that their old-school platform brawler will arrive on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4 and PC come April 20th 2016.
An original, third-person action game, the emphasis is on swift-paced brawling, platforming and puzzles. You’ll be tasked with throwing together combos filled with fast-flowing attacks, counters, dodges, hammer throws, takedowns and superpowers as you fight it out against huge, varied groups of enemy forces. You’ll also be treated to some treacherous terrain to make your way through and a number of environmental challenges that will test your logic and reflexes.
It’ll come complete with a bright art style, colorfully ridiculous characters and beautifully animated cutscenes that give it its comic fantasy tone and humor. The game stars a hammer-wielding, quip-slinging jester named Jaxx, whose quest to stop the evil Clown Army from claiming an artifact of supreme power will take him across the Realm to save it.
“Masquerade is a call back to those classic 3D action games that were all about larger-than-life characters and personalities,” said Mark Bracken, Executive Vice President of Big Ant Studios. “We wanted to deliver a game with both heavy hits and lighthearted adventure, something that’s simultaneously fun to play and fun to experience.”
