Faery RPG to "immerse" PC, PSN, XBLA
New shots show Borderlands-like engine.
PC, PSN and XBLA game Faery: Legends of Avalon has revealed itself.
Published by Focus Home Interactive and made by Spiders, this "unique and original" setting casts you as an elf or fairy that will change entirely (both in appearance and in ability) as quests are completed and monsters killed. There's even a World Tree and a Flying Dutchman Ghost Ship.
Your quest, for which you'll recruit various companions, will be to work out why Avalon - the world - is dying.
Faery has an illustrative style akin to Borderlands, which you'll see below.
Release date is TBC.
Incidentally, while some of the screenshots below are new, the game itself has been known about for around a month. This was news to us, however, and so we hope news to you.
1/9 Avalon hard look.

Wow, those little critters are deceptively intelligent considering they can't get out of a bath.

Really? Care to explain what gay looks like exactly?
Stop stereotyping, knucklehead.

Neither can my grandma but she can do the cryptic in the guardian so don't be too quick to judge.

You're in Brighton, ferchrissakes. Should be LOADS of shops that sell that kind of thing. If not, try Soho in London.

Can't see this appealing to many of the male teen demographic though. It's got 'Faery' in the title. And you know what those homophobic lot are like, they'll think they'll 'turn into a fag' or 'catch The Gay', or something.
..As iHAZaCHEEZ3burger (#4) has so kindly demonstrated.

And why all the hate for fairies?? Kameo had you playing as a fairy (most of the time) and that was a cracking game. Can't believe some people are so shallow/homophobic OMG! If I play a game with fairies it will destroy my man-ness , grow up you dicks!

I should state; not a hater, but I've no desire to play a fairy. They should call it "Spyder" and you can play as a game-crafting spider with its own customisable sports car that adapts as you play...
edit: Not sure what warranted a neg here... This is of course a reference to Live's ker-azy ban on Mr "thegayergamer" and a pun.

Depends how fast he's running, to be honest. Most of us learned to run pretty fast in school...

Sorry to tell you, but if you're already watching Will & Grace it's too late for you!

Actually earwigs make chutney unless they taught centipedes their secrets.

Pfil is cute, but that comic series has some rather disturbing images

Maybe I'm old-fashioned in thinking homophobia, racism, sexism and things like that should be discouraged. But I guess this isn't the place for that discussion.

Not being a teenage boy I'm much more concerned about all the "Faerly good" puns this is inevitably going to attract in reviews.

I'm sure the main character's name is Link Icarus. Just look at picture 9. For a moment there I thought it's taken straight from the Nintendo E3 press conference footage.
