It may seem that the world and his wife are churning out cartoon style games at the moment, but as with most 'fads' one example eventually will come along that shows you can follow fashion and still be brilliant. The Mark of Kri is that game.
Set in an ancient Maori-inspired world of swords and sorcerers, The Mark of Kri sees dark powers out to invoke six parts of a shadowy spell that will unleash an ancient evil throughout the land. Only Rau, a powerful warrior, stands against the darkness. With the aid of his faithful hawk Kuzo, you must guide Rau and use might, strategy and stealth to overcome the forces of darkness.
The Mark of Kri is a third-person adventure with stealth and beat 'em up action in equal quantities. Set in a visually stunning cartoon world that feels like a warped Disney-esque realm (designed by ex-Disney and ex-Don Bluth artists), you may think this is a kiddie game, but you couldn't be more wrong. Despite the cartoon style animation, MoK does not pull any punches when it comes to violence - limbs are lopped, faces smashed and enemies impaled all in vivid colour. o aid the bloodletting, MoK features a unique combat system where multiple opponents can be targeted at once, each highlighted with a different button icon above their heads (Circle, Square, etc). Press the corresponding button and Rau launches an attack at that person, so that full-on multi-opponent combos can be pulled off that make Bruce Lee look boring. In addition to Rau's melee attacks with fists, sword, spear and axe he can also take out guards with his bow - one shot, one kill if you're good enough.
Features:
- Instinctive targeting system allows you to combat multiple opponents with fluid attack and defence combos
- Sumptuous cartoon style graphics and 'pencil drawn' cut-scenes
- Intense combat action and tactical stealth play
- Learn how to use multiple weapons with your trainer Baumusu
- Gory death-dealing means this is definitely not for the weak-stomached
