Battleblock Theater: Militarism, Slavery, Coliseum Battles, Cats

The guys who brought you Alien Hominid HD, Castle Crashers, and Newgrounds, are hard at work on an online arena brawler that could only originate from the twisted minds at The Behemoth.

The premise seems to be this; you're a little man with an oddly shaped head who shipwrecked on a strange island. You're betrayed and sold into slavery by your close friend and fellow shipwreckee, Hatty. Your slavers, gigantic militant cats, have locked you and your fellow prisoners in a multi-platformed arena filled with environmental hazards and man-made maiming-devices. The object? Kill or be killed, alone or as a team, to satisfy the evil pussies' desire to see blood spilled. Slavery, betrayal, murder, Icarus wings, giant cats, platforming on crack. I know, right?!

I liked Alien Hominid. I loved Castle Crashers. Logical progression leads me to believe I will soil my pants in an amorous fit when this game releases. We'll give you more information on this title as it comes, but after watching the trailer, it looks to be a lock that The Behemoth has done it again.

Warning! Fatal doses of epic lie ahead.
