Save 75% on the Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes in this week's Midweek Madness!

Grotesque Tactics combines the features and clichés of Western and Asian console RPGs and provides a highly addicting and entertaining change to the current, more serious role playing games.

Offer ends this Thursday at 4pm PST.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Quintin Smith)

Here's a game about fighting dirty. So dirty, in fact, that they've smeared some grease on the camera lens.

Here’s an oddball for you. Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes is a tactical RPG put together by a four-man team who describe their game as “ironic”. The plot follows a young wannabe hero called Drake who fails the final exam at his military academy only for all of his successful classmates to go off and die in a terrible battle. In the subsequent and deeply awkward quest to save the world, Drake teams whoever he can find, including criminals, the world’s greatest hero (since fallen from grace) and “still the most dangerous of all creatures, whose help they could seek: WOMEN!”

Any takers? There’s a German demo out, but the installer apparently lets you change the language to English. Trailer follows… (more…)
