Holy shlamboly, it\u2019s actually happened. Full Metal Furies<\/em><\/a> is coming out\u2026 today! To finally give gamers the chance to play a labour of love that we\u2019ve spent nearly four years making is tough to put into words. \u00a0There\u2019s a lot of pride getting to this point, and while the journey getting here was far from smooth, in the end, it was totally worth it. We honestly hope you enjoy playing Full Metal Furies<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As the game approached release, we unveiled a lot of info about it and received a lot of feedback. One of the most interesting comments were from people who questioned whether Full Metal Furies<\/em> even qualified as a brawler. It just seemed too unfamiliar to them, and outside what they expected from a traditional beat \u2019em up. At first, that question seemed very strange. We\u2019ve always been working on a brawler, how could it suddenly not be one? But as time went by and we played the game more we started to feel, for better or for worse, that nothing played quite like FMF.<\/p>\n

\"Full<\/p>\n

Our goal has always been clear: we wanted to modernize the brawler genre. Whether it was making minor updates to slightly broken systems, or wide-sweeping changes that drastically alter the genre\u2019s landscape, we set out to achieve this by any means necessary. By taking this direction it\u2019s only natural that we start to diverge from expectations and end up somewhere else entirely. At first, not calling FMF a brawler was a bit insulting, but now we realize that may have been one of the best compliments we could receive.<\/p>\n

Now we embrace and actively promote the difference that Full Metal Furies<\/em> embodies. In fact, we now call it an Action RPG. It\u2019s less specific and avoids acting on people\u2019s expectations. We\u2019ve worked so hard to differentiate FMF<\/em> from other brawlers that nothing would be worse than someone looking for an old-school brawler and being disappointed because our game isn\u2019t one.<\/p>\n

\"Full<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been making games for a while now, and even though Full Metal Furies<\/em> marks our 9th<\/sup> title, its development was still an experience full of firsts for us. It was our first true multiplayer game, our first game with online functionality, our first attempt at a brawler, and our first game with a heavy narrative. Actually, one of our biggest firsts was holding a secret. We\u2019ve hinted at it before, but there\u2019s another side to the game that we think is incredibly special. We don\u2019t want to spoil it (and we hope reviews don\u2019t spoil it!), so when people play the game, hopefully, they\u2019re pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n

If you think the game is clearly a brawler, that\u2019s perfect. We hope you recognize the changes we\u2019ve made, and feel we\u2019ve done the genre justice. If you think that it is something different, that\u2019s great too. Our goal was always to be different, to show that brawlers don\u2019t have to be button-mashy, linear affairs. Either way, we hope it\u2019s a game you can just sit down to and enjoy. Thank you to all our fans who have been patiently waiting to play Full Metal Furies<\/em><\/a>. We hope we don\u2019t let you down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
