    Fairytale Fights is one of those games you can either love or... luv! Wondering around the woods in a red hood slashing all living creatures into tiny pieces with splashes of blood pouring all over adds a unique flavour to it, one that will inevitably bring you back to your childhood memories. Well, not quite...

    Fairytale Fights is a product Dutch gamers can be proud of. When playing alone, the game offers many hours of enjoyment in lush environments. Better yet, these environments will soon be painted red with the blood of your opponents. The multiplayer is a little hectic and falls short, though.

    A likeable, if slight, slice of gory Brothers Grimm gaming. [Winter 2009, p.86]

    A fantastic concept poorly executed. All of the visuals and presentation seem in place, but the monotonous gameplay and boring combat really drag down the overall experience.

    I'd love to say that Fairytale Fights is an hack'n slash you shouldn't miss: the style is just adorable and I really like the attitude of these psychopathic fairy tales. Yet this is a game that looks far better than how it plays, and still without considering its evident flaws the full price makes it hard to recommend it even to fans of the genre: sorry but there will be no happy ending, this time.

    Despite its many promises, this game falls short, with redundant gameplay, unreliable controls, and lackluster storytelling.

    It's ugly; it's slippery; all of the enemies blend together because they're all the frickin' same... it's awe-inspiringly bad, really. Not since Superman 64 have I played something this stomach-wrenching, and at least in the end that was funny-horrible. This one skips by funny-horrible and goes right back to bad.

The game is over flowing with bright eye popping colors, to the point of vomiting at times, but that is the point. The game is basically a 2D Hack and Slash, not worth $60, but well worth a rent or a pick up at $40 or below. The game design has depth upon depth, which is interesting and frustrating at the same time. You will want to go places you can not, and die in places that seem solid. Camera work can be wonky at times. The weapons collection is nothing more then a grind to continually find new and improved weapon. At first I was quite disappointed, and I thought I would only play for 20 mins, 3 hours later I was shocked at how long I played. I just could not put the controller down. The wacky story and crude humor was enjoyable, and the in game cut scenes of your dismemberment's were quite enjoyable though they loose their impact over time. There is a meaty and long game under all the candy glam graphics. Just don't look for twist or turns in the story, just like a Mario Bros game. Well worth a Rent, but not worth a purchase at the steep price, rent or wait till $40 or below Thanks :)… Expand

    Bad taste, bad gameplay, an immature take on a solid genre. Not worth a download for a few euros

This is a horrible science project, that the only way to stop it was to, split it apart, burn it into disc´s, sell them to around the world.… Expand

    Monotonous, repetitive, slippery controls, padded to the point of painful and completely unnecessary. Teabagging a bear trap would be more enjoyable.
