I remember some time last year, a bit of a furore erupted over the messages being sent upcoming game Fat Princess. The guys over at Giant Bomb have posted a video of the beta, and I have to say that I don’t give a crap.
It’s a long video, but the gameplay looks great. As the Bombers describe it, it’s a cross between deathmatch, capture the flag, and an RTS. There’s all kinds of awesome in this. The visuals are ironically cute, a kind of Castle Crashers mixed with Warcraft II.
The goal of the game is to capture your enemy’s Princess. You make your own princess defensible by fattening her up with cake. I’m not sure how this is offensive. It’s harmless fun, and the amount of cartoon blood is probably more worrying.
In any event, this looks like something worth picking up when it comes out.
