Anarchy Reigns (360/PS3)

Post by DomitorInvictus »

Trailer
ANARCHY REIGNS™ is an online multiplayer brawler, from the makers of BAYONETTA™ and VANQUISH™, PlatinumGames.

Set in the post-apocalyptic future, this is an over-the-top close combat fighting game, set in a massively open and fantastical world. Pick from an imaginative mix of human and cyborg characters and set out on a multiplayer challenge where anarchy reigns.

With a diverse range of multiplayer modes on offer, ANARCHY REIGNS pits players against each other in team co-op or last man standing battles.
Personally, I am very excited about this one. As a huge fan of Bayonetta and PlatinumGames in general, I can't wait to play their latest creations. There aren't many games today that try to do the 3rd person multi-player fighter thing, so I'm curious to see how this turns out.

The game appears to have a large cast of unique characters, naturally, each with their own feel, specialties and combos. And since its by PG, I expect no less than top-notch violent, gory and over-the-top brawling.

My one and only qualm about this is that it is multi-player focused. I would have no problem with that if I had better access to online play, but unfortunately I do not have that option. So I hope that there is some good single-player content (a story mode has been revealed).

I'd definitely buy this once it falls into my budget range.

Platinum Games has been on a nice roll, and I'm sure this game will turn out to be a fine one. Sort of strange since it's their first multiplayer game, but I'm sure they'll do just fine.

True. Since they have used Madworld characters in this game, what other PlatinumGames characters might they use? I have my hopes up for Bayonetta...

Bayonetta would be pretty awesome, but I'm hoping they somehow pull something back from when they were Clover studios.

I doubt it, but I'm hoping they bust out Gene from Godhand. Anarchy Reigns is looking kinda crazy, and Gene would fit nicely into it.

I thought of God Hand specifically when I seen the juggling combos. 8)

Perhaps this has something to do with them picking up Metal Gear Rising? Either way, quite disappointing.

It may be related to MGR, but since its extra time to improve the game's quality I'm not complaining.

I've never played MadWorld because I don't have a Wii, but I doubt Platinum will make a sequel any time soon seeing as they don't like making sequels.

I would say this is pretty much a Madworld successor anyway.
