Party animals gameplay12/1/2023 ![]() V: Speak for yourselves, I had everything under control.Įd: It all takes place in various wacky arenas that have different hazards too. It's a simple premise with slightly confusing controls but instant appeal, and I think we can all agree, it resulted in utter chaos? I suppose this is to encourage people to play with a variety of creatures, and to try new combinations, however part of me was also a bit disappointed we couldn't all brawl about as banana hat and tutu wearing animals, regardless of species.Įd: We should probably explain what Party Animals is! Essentially it's a party game where you choose a cute animal, dress them up, and then battle in 3D arenas to grab and throw each other off. I noticed each character had different outfit options to the other animals. He pulled off that cape with real panache - you could say it had a certain "je ne sais quack" about it. I particularly liked the Darth Vadar-inspired ensemble for Harry the Duck. V: Yeah the outfit variety was a lot of fun. I dolled Sparky up as Neo from The Matrix, and wept every time his shades were knocked off in battle. Liv: I definitely appreciate the range of animals and outfits, plus all the pop culture references. They told me: "After the beta, we expanded our art and engineering teams and almost rebuilt the entire game to ensure quality." They've also added new gameplay modes and a friend system to help players connect easily. V: Same as Liv, I remember seeing a trailer for Party Animals and immediately thinking "Huh! That's like Gang Beasts with weapon drops".Įd: Some friends of mine played the previous beta from three years ago, but it seems the developer has spent a lot of time polishing since then. Which makes it even better, in my opinion! Liv: I remember seeing a trailer for it once, and my first thought was "it's just like Gang Beasts", but with cute animals and funny props. I love these names, they really set the tone of the game.Īnyway, were either of you familiar with Party Animals before we played? For example, we have a gorilla character named Barbie and a pig character named Bacon." "We prefer to give them names with a sense of contrast, dark humour, or something easy to remember. Apparently the producer's wife has a pet corgi called Nemo! "When we expanded the number of characters, we brainstormed names based on the animals' traits," said the developer. I was fuming.Įd: I asked the developers some questions about the game, including why they chose a corgi as a mascot. Prepare for a series of images of a corgi losing. Bet you weren't expecting to read that today. Don't let my cute ears and fluffy tail fool you, though! I was in it to win it, and dressed for the occasion by adorning myself in gear worthy of a knight. I switched between Tiagra the Tiger, Coco the Crocodile and - the character that became my favourite - Carrot the Bunny. V: Hello there, I am a bit of an animal flip-flopper. Liv: Hi, I'm Sparky the bull terrier and I don't need a gun to prove I'm the top dog here. So, hi, I'm Nemo the space corgi and I didn't come to party, I came to win. ![]() Party Animals - Official Console Announce Trailer - Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2021Įd: Before we talk about playing Party Animals, I thought we should introduce ourselves. Join me, Victoria and Liv as we relive our experience with the game, plus some extra insight from the developers. What is a fairly simple party game about cute animals battling for arena supremacy with floppy physics certainly brought out our wild and competitive side. We are just as eager as fans to see Party Animals launch, and we want to ensure it's as polished and bug-free as possible first."įinally, we've now had our grubby paws all over it and came away big fans of its silliness. ![]() "Additionally, some necessary approval processes took longer than we planned. "This is our first time developing a game, and we underestimated the time it would take to fix the bugs," said producer and CEO of Recreate Games Zixiong Luo. The developer also apologised for the long wait. In that time, the Shanghai-based studio was majorly impacted by lockdown, but the game has gone through extensive development and has been confirmed for release on Xbox via Game Pass. Fast forward three years and we finally have a release date, as announced at last night's Summer Games Fest: 20th September, on both PC (Steam) and Xbox consoles. ![]() ![]() You may remember a beta for the absurd Party Animals that released back in 2020 - a riotously fun party game that swiftly rose up the most-anticipated lists. ![]()
