Legend of Fae is a 2D puzzle-rpg title with bright, colorful graphics, but the gameplay is a snoozer.
The folks behind Viewtiful Joe and Okami took the Bible, gave it to Sawaki Takeyasu and came up with an awesome-looking, Ninja Gaiden-style action platformer with puzzle elements. My mind was blown just from hearing that. Every single level has its own distinct art style; one even covers 200 years. They’re all sparing and impressionistic … except for the one that looks sort of normal and was put there to intentionally mess with the player. The platforming levels look like cell-shaded 2D – even the ones where enemies are trying really hard to kill you while you solve puzzles jumping from platform to platform. Very pretty.

Here you’ll find nerds, geeks, cosplayers, booths, Scroll down for PAXy goodness, and don’t forget to check out our other PAX East photo set. You’ll be very glad that you did.
I saw an Alpha version of the game that nicely informed me at the beginning that the final version of the game might look nothing like what I was about to see. The game opens when Jackie Estacado – now head of the Estacado crime family – comes to from black. His hand’s being pounded into a plank, crucifixion style (blood spatters across the screen as the nail crunches through flesh and bone; if you didn’t know this game was visceral, Hello!), and some creepy-looking ugly dude with a cane attempts to persuade him to give up The Darkness. Creepy guy does this by triggering memories in Jackie – and those memories form the game.
