PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe announced for PSP
Sony has announced PixelJunk Monsters: Deluxe for the PSP and PS3 with a release date of this fall.
PixelJunk Monsters was inspired by the popular “Tower Defense” genre and brings all the great content of the PlayStation Network PS3 original downloadable game to Sony’s handheld platform. And as an added bonus, PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe will also include the PixelJunk Monsters: Encore downloadable content expansion on the disc.
In PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe, the player controls a defender-of-the-forest character in a lush 2D environment. The player’s goal is to strategically defend the pathway to his homebase from an onslaught of various threatening monsters. In between waves of monster attacks, the player scrambles to reinforce his defenses by collecting gold coins and jewels from fallen enemies to finance new towers and research deadlier weapons.
The game features a new island with more than 10 stages, new enemies, music tracks and special bonus features. With two new unique towers available, players can enjoy all the original Monster stages with fresh new gameplay.
Key Features of PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe include:
* Visual Appeal on the PSP system – PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe features a unique hand-drawn art style — the same great visual quality as seen on the PS3 system.
* Content Galore – PixelJunk Monsters Encore is included in the package as an add-on bonus for PixelJunk fans! That’s in addition to the entire PixelJunk Monsters PSN game.
* New Towers and Enemies – The PSP version includes two new towers, a brand new enemy and special boss. Mixing these new elements, original stages can be played again with a fresh feel.
* Medal Challenge – With the Medal Challenge feature, players get rewarded with medals as they play. Medals won through playing can be used to unlock bonus content such as videos, artwork and more.
* Co-Op Play – Co-op play available with two PSP systems locally and online via Adhoc & Infrastructure modes.
* New Music – Features brand new tracks composed by Kyoto, Japan’s Otograph. Combined with the original score, the PSP version includes more than 20 tracks!
