Kalypso Media Spins Alien Spidy Web Over North America
Alien Spidy Combines Modern-Day Production Values and Classic Arcade Gaming This Fall
Bracknell, UK—August 10, in the year of our Lord 2012—Kalypso
Media today announced it’s bringing charm, humor, and skill back
to games with Alien Spidy, a digital action-adventure game
starring a swinging alien spider, slated for Xbox LIVE® Arcade
for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system from
Microsoft, PlayStation®Network, and Windows PC slated in North
America this fall.
Alien Spidy engages players to step into the web of an
intelligent alien spider whose space ship has crash landed on
Earth. In order to escape, Spidy must rescue his female
companion, Virgil, and collect the lost parts of his craft.
Alien Spidy’s unique web-swinging mechanics and beautifully
illustrated environments make the game accessible to gamers of
all ages, but it’s the game’s increasingly tough levels that are
likely to engage hardcore players.
“We believe Alien Spidy is a gem of a game,” said Jonathan
Hales, Managing Director, Kalypso Media Digital Ltd. “With its
quirky lead character and broad accessibility, this title is
extremely fun to play for any age. As players get deeper into
the later levels, however, they’ll find it gets tougher. We
really want to challenge the hardcore gamers.”
Spanning more than 60 levels and three distinct landscapes,
Alien Spidy takes gamers deep into the treacherous world of
insects, zooming down into the cover growth of forests, the
tricky Lilli pads of ponds, and the echoing darkness of caves.
Each level is crawling with a variety of enemies large and
small, landscapes filled with tricks and traps, and surprises to
boot.
Alien Spidy will be playable at 2012 Gamescom in Cologne,
Germany (August 15-19, 2012), and PAX Prime in Seattle, WA.
(August 31-September 2, 2012).
Alien Spidy for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows PC is not
yet rated by the ESRB and is set to arrive in North America this
fall.
