Blitz Arcade has announced its alliance with Namco Bandai to work on Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao for the Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. The game is an innovative concept by Ollie Clarke, a Blitz Arcade animator.
The hero of the game has got to scuffle in order to reclaim the Star of Destiny which is in the hands of the Evil Overlord. He must defeat the Overlord’s advancing band of grunts and scores of the undead. A hand-to-hand combat action game, Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao uses extreme combos, timely blocks and requires a whole lot of skill.
“I wanted to make a game that played like the martial arts games and movies I loved when I was growing up, and that’s something we stuck to from creation through to development,” stated Ollie Clarke who is also Project Manager for the game. “It’s a fluid fighting game, easy to play but difficult to master! Games should be fun, so we’ve thrown in loads of tongue-in-cheek humor for fans of the genre. Hopefully gamers will have as much fun playing Invincible Tiger as we had making it!”
Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao features a Story Mode Co-op which allows for a sort of two player campaign. Players can learn ace combat techniques in single player mode. There is also an Endurance Mode which features a time limit in which to vanquish your foes. The game allows players to post their scores online.
Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao is expected to be released by the second quarter of 2009 and is developed by Blitz Arcade and published by Namco Bandai.
