Maxwell Unites with the world’s greatest super heroes as players use their imagination and DC Comics smarts to solve puzzles and battle the mightiest villains! Out today from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment, Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure is a new game that melds the boundless creativity of the award-winning video game franchise Scribblenauts with thousands of DC Comics characters and objects across the DC Comics universe – all drawn in the classic Scribblenauts art style. The game was created and developed by 5TH Cell, and now available for the Wii U system, Nintendo 3DS hand-held system and PC through digital on Steam.
Scribblenauts Unmasked features a story where protagonist Maxwell embarks on an imaginative and comical quest through Gotham City, Metropolis, Atlantis and other iconic locales from the DC Comics Universe. In the game, Maxwell comes to the aid of Batman, Superman and the rest of the Justice League as they face the mightiest DC Comics Super Villains, such as The Joker, Lex Luthor and Sinestro. Fueled by the player’s imagination where anything he/she writes comes to life, Maxwell must use his magic notebook to summon heroes or tools that will put a stop to the villains’ evil schemes and save the DC Comics universe!
Players in need of some super hero help or who just want to learn more about the vast DC Comics universe itself, can reference a brand new feature exclusive to Scribblenauts Unmasked. The Batcomputer! The Batcomputer is an in-game encyclopedia that visually displays the names and descriptions of every DC Comics character and that can be used in the game. It also links these characters and objects together in the form of a detailed wiki that can be used to learn about and utilize some of the most interesting and obscure characters in the DC Comics universe!
Scribblenauts Unmasked also has a Hero Creator that lets players bring out their inner super hero or villain by crafting completely original objects using any item from the DC Comics universe. They can assign unique properties to their creations and use them to solve puzzles, or share them online with friends – which they can use in game or further modify as they like.
Expanding on the video game franchise’s innovation, ScribblenautsUnmasked also features for the first time dynamically created puzzles called Heroic Feats that increase the game’s replayability by continuously generating original scenarios requiring different solutions with each visit. Every time a player goes to a world in Scribblenauts Unmasked they will have a unique experience that tests their creativity and wit in many different ways. They can then use the rewards they earn by solving the Heroic Feats to unlock new areas and avatars in the game and powers in the Hero Creator.
The weekend is almost here and it is a long one! I’ll be spending it relaxing as well as checking out the NOVA Open game convention. Expect some coverage of that along with more from Gen Con and even San Diego Comic-Con!
