Our impressions of the upcoming slash-em-up Fairytale Fights. A surprisingly good side-scroller that doesn't skimp on the blood and gore, despite it's apparent basis on children's stories.

Another niggly bit of gameplay was when you hacked or slashed an enemy/friend, half of the screen with taken up with a ‘SLASHED’ graphic for a good 3-4 seconds. When both players managed to do this simultaneously, it was “Goodbye visibility!” as the enemies kept on attacking behind the picture. According to the developers Playlogic, this is part of their ‘Salami Violence‘. They came up with an innovative new way to cut up characters so that the bits are lying around on the ground in any way you like! Facinating.
