For those of you who prefer to read instead of watch, Kill3rCombo is a new online PC game publisher, a spinoff of publisher\u00a0Level Up!\u00a0Games<\/a>, focusing on online multiplayer action games. Their first title Elsword, <\/em>by Korean developer\u00a0KOG Studios<\/a>, is a comic book-inspired fantasy-based hack-and-slash 2D platformer. Think the adventure mode on Super Smash Bros. Brawl <\/em>or a persistent online version of something like Castlevania<\/em> . In fact, the PvP mode of Elsword <\/em>looks a little like Smash Bros.<\/em>, a simple-controls 2D head-to-head brawler. It’s free though and with online play that actually works (dang friend codes), changeable costumes (although some of those cost money), and at least 80% less Jigglypuff.<\/p>\n

They don’t talk about it much in the video, but Kill3rCombo<\/em>‘s next title, currently titled Fighter’s Club<\/em>, looks even more intense. There are a number of action-based multiplayer online titles like Elsword <\/em>already in the marketplace, but they all tend to be more in the vein of fantasy-action games. The little bit of video that was shown of Fighter’s Club<\/em>\u00a0vibed pure Double Dragon<\/em>\u00a0or Final Fight.<\/em><\/p>\n

Because that game is going to take a while before it comes out, enjoy the Elsword<\/em> trailer for now instead.
