Above you’ll see the trailer for Frima’s side-scrolling beat-em-up, which is a PSP Minis title coming to both the PSP and the PS3 July 20th. For $5, the game looks like it could definitely be worth your money, but I’ll reserve judgment until I get my hands on it. But come on! Doesn’t that look adorable? But in the most bad ass way, you know- like a Cactaur.
The PS Vita Review Network has posted their opinions of the PlayStation Mini, Young Thor.
"All in all, Young Thor was a neat little platformer, taking its roots from Norse Mythology that is not focused on enough in gaming. The visuals have taken a turn for the worse being stretched out on the Vita’s screen and many of the stages are carbon copies of others. However, if you enjoy beat-em-up games and Role-Playing Games, you should definitely give this game a go. It’s a fun little game worth the measly $2.49 price tag."
Neocrisis: Frima Studio, Canada's leading independent game developer, today announced that the Gods of Olympus have seen fit to allow the discounting of PlayStation mini title Young Thor, now available for 75% off its retail price at $1.25 USD.
Neocrisis: Frima Studio, a leading and award-winning multiplatform game developer based in Quebec, is pleased to announce that its PSP title Young Thor has launched in Japan, marking the first time a Western mini has been translated and ported for Japanese users.
I might actually be dusting off my PS3 for a baby version of Thor.
That's odd.
I think the game looks great, really. I don't play my PSP often, but I might go ahead and dig it out again for this title. I'm not a huge Thor fan, but I am a fan of side-scrollers, beat-em-ups, and, well, fun.
Five bucks? Sounds good to me!
lol at the headline
