Grimm Bros Games, the five-man indie group responsible for the upcoming dark and humorous Dragon Fin Soup, has announced that they will be at PAX East with a playable demo of their game. Gamers can see Red Robin, aka Little Red Riding Hood, in action, and trust me, this is Little Red in a whole new light.
A charming SNES style RPG with Roguelike elements, set in a twisted fairytale world with a cheerful, yet raging alcoholic Heroine
An homage to the classic NES RPGs of their youth, Dragon Fin Soup seamlessly blends genres to create a fresh experience: half story-driven strategy RPG and half high-stakes roguelike, with a pinch of crass humor and a heaping helping of cohesive, comprehensive world-building.
“We set out to make a game that we wanted to play,” said Grimm Bros founder Ash Monif. “Something that moved like the NES RPGs we grew up on but with the graphical integrity we’ve come to expect in 2015; something shadowy and grim and also pervasively funny. Dragon Fin Soup is that game, and we’re so excited to share it with gamers like us at PAX.”
Dragon Fin Soup introduces players to a Red Riding Hood they’ve never met before. This Red Robin is a savage, salty sword-for-hire, a quick-talking fighter who’d rather deliver bounties than baked goods. Players must take up Robin’s blades and set out across Asura, a lushly colorful fantasy world that sits on the back of an enormous turtle, in a journey to discover the secrets of her bloody past. The game includes several different play modes, including a narrative-driven Story Mode, procedurally generated Endless Labyrinth Mode, and an intense Survival Mode that features permadeath.
Dragon Fin Soup is the product of a successful Kick Starter campaign.If you missed out on it and would still like to participate, Grimm has a Slacker Backer program that offers the same rewards as the original. You can find details here.
A playble Demo will be available as well as a new game mode at Pax East in Boston March 6th-8th.
