Note this is my first op and its for a retarded game so please go easy on me.
If you're not familiar with the tv show of the same name, it's basically history for bros. They take two warriors, compare their weaponry and skills, and then decide who would win a fight. It's like a forum "vs" thread with production values.
What's the deal man
The game plays like you think it would. You pit your favorite warrior against your friend's favorite warrior offline or online, and duke it out for the title of master of the universe. The game seems to be somewhat inspired by bushido blade in that a single blow can be the deciding factor of a round, and instant kills aren't exactly rare. You could have your arm removed in a fight, or even lose your head.
Now there are a lot of problems with the game, mainly stemming from the fact that its obviously a budget title. But that doesn't keep it from being fun. The animations are far from graceful sometimes, especially the finishing moves. The graphics are butt ugly, but it also costs 10 bucks so you know. Weapons constantly clip through walls, and sometimes projectiles get stuck in odd places on your body.
But despite that, its one of those laugh out loud style games that keeps you playing based on just how ridiculous it is. In my first online match I was playing as a pirate vs a knight. We were both critical so I tossed my grenade (which would have triggered a finishing move) right as he slashed me and the knight blew up into 5 pieces. Then I got an achievement for it.
Who can I play as bro
There are 8 characters: Apache, Ninja, Centurion, Spartan, Samurai, Viking, Knight, Pirate with supposed DLC characters in the works. Each pretty much fighting how you think they would, with the exception that they all carry several weapons. A close range, mid range, long rage, and special weapon, just like the show.
You can customize your warrior with weapons and armor you unlock in the arcade mode. Typically you'll just get a slower/faster version of a weapon you already have, or it may deal a different type of damage since the game uses a crushing, cutting, and stabbing system to decide how much damage you do to certain types of armor.
By far the best part for me is slash survival mode. It's your typical fight one guy after the other survival mode but with a twist. Every hit removes a limb, so its possible to be instakilled by a clean headshot or getting de-legged.
Otherwise you could just play versus mode and match up your apache (brocahontas) against your friend's viking, (brodin the wise).

I played as a Spartan in the trial battle mode for a couple rounds. The demo seems to have decapitations disabled?
Anyway about the demo. Maybe, but it's really hard to decapitate anyway. The game seems to randomly decide when a limb gets removed, or I just have no idea how to do it. Like if you pick the samurai and do the low swipe. You can do it over and over again and after maybe 3 hits the limp, but regardless of how many times I did it, I couldn't remove a leg.
So I downloaded the trial, hopeful and excited.
I was disappointed.
It's pretty much nothing like Bushido blade, and alot like a poorly made beat em up.
Quoted for emphasis. This comparison needs to stop happening, in case someone with good intentions gets the misguided idea of purchasing this horrible game.
Anyway couldn't get an online match last night, another thing worth mentioning i guess.
Still pretty misleading.
I was going oooooooh for awhile there.
Slash mode is remescient I guess, but the gameplay isn't anywhere close, and that's what matters.
Bushido blade this aint. It's a poor comparison for a poor game.
Beat me on 360: Raybies666
I remember when I had time to be good at games.
Then again if you're gonna hate on this for not being bushido blade, thats pretty unfair.
"LOL games is retarded cuz its a spike tv game" is a retarded arguement, and stupid thing to say. Its not perfect, but it is somewhat similar to Bushido Blade and there is some strategy to the fights.
Again, its not perfect but you have to find a better arguement than "Spike TV is for frat boys and I'm a hardcore gamer!!1"
I guess I'm only posting as such because I was lead to believe it was like Bushido Blade.
But beyond that comparison, it's still pretty bad.
You can't be "somewhat similar" to Bushido Blade, that's like a celestial body being "a bit like" a black hole. Either you are or you aren't, there is no try.
I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.
Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.
Hey now....
"TIME KILLERS..ENGAGE!"
"ONLY ONE MAY SURVIVE..ENGAGE!" still makes me smile
PSN: Bizazedo
CFN: Bizazedo (I don't think I suck, add me).
Then it is like Bushido Blade. I don't see how it isnt really, except your character carries more than one weapon.
Still, in both games:
Fights can end in seconds.
A projectile hit to the head is an instant kill.
Limbs can be crippled affecting move sets and movement speed. (Limbs can be chopped off completely in DW)
I dunno, its a decent game getting some undeserved hate for some reason. Its either "LOL Spike" Or everyone was expecting the game to actually be Bushido Blade.
For me it's the poor graphics, dodgey framerate and floaty controls. And the fact that blood flies around everywhere, and there are health bars which go down with every hit. I can stab a guy in the chest and he'll hardly react, but his health bar will go down. I understand that head blows will be an instant kill, but there's no real way to AIM for the head. So it's pretty much just luck.
It's nothing like Bushido Blade. There is barely a block/parry system there at all. But as I said before, I dont just dislike it because it isn't Bushido Blade. I disliked it for the reasons above, and was disappointed the Bushido Blade comparisons were inaccurate.
[EDIT] - And we dont get Spike TV here, so I am immune to that "LOL Spike" comment.
The Spike TV endorsement is just icing on the cake.
Also if you COULD aim your weapon and they kept instant head shot kills then it would be bullshit because you know people would discover some cheap ass way to just insta kill you always. I like how they keep it random and how its kind of just a last ditch damaging effort that may or may not work.

Good times if you arent overly critical.
I play bushido blade 2 on a regular basis so I have a much different opinion on it then most people, but the parry system in that game wasn't much better. I don't know about the first game because I haven't played it in ages.
Deadliest Warrior isn't much better than even that since if you whiff the parry you are still blocking (I think), but I for one am glad fights aren't just tink tink thud tink oh you got the bouncy death animation.
Also yeah there is no defending the graphics of this game. The framerate drops for absolutely no reason sometimes, and a lot of the animations are butt ugly.
Shadow Complex is offended because he wasn't invited to the party.
I have this game by the way, it's dreadful, but I love dreadful games in the same way I love B movies.
But there's no way this can be classed as a good game.

Let's be bros mr grinch.
Btw if you play online, don't use finishing moves because dudes will disconnect during them haha.
Its good times though i mean, i've got a friend coming over in a bit he doesn't really play fighters but i'm pretty sure he'll enjoy this.

I would love to respond with a witty comment here but I think I shall pass. There are tons of games on XBLA and maybe only around 10 - 20 with absolutely striking visuals. Must you really be trying to prove a point on graphics here? How many Arcade games have absolutely high quality graphics? Really? And Im serious. You really thought they would put all the work into visuals for a game like this? Based on a TV show? I get your point and I did mention graphics but to bring up a bunch of best-selling high-quality games such as those (and probably some of the only few WITH excellent graphics) is silly. Its like saying every 360 game should look like Gears 2. When theres like...2 Gears games....
Oh and I agree with whoever said what below. Shadow Complex as well. And Blacklight. Thems be good graphics too. My point here Unbreakable, because I know you love to try to prove people wrong, is that not every Arcade game has hand-drawn visuals made to be a feast for the eyes.
I was hoping some people would want to screw around and play online. Apache is where it's at.
Stevemarks44 is my gamertag, send me a friend request, I'll be on all day rotating with a buddy of mine. Everybody lighten up and realize it's not a $60 EVO tournament fighting game and that it's a game where I can take my Viking Axe and cut off the legs of your Samurai in one swoop.
With all that being said, I downloaded this not really expecting very much so I wasn't too disappointed, and I've had fun with friends just running around and chopping each other to shreds. But once that novelty wears off, this game will be long forgotten.
