Sega of Europe have today announced the details of the limited Anarchy Reigns ‘Day One’ Edition version. For those gamers eager to cause as much anarchy as possible, pre-ordering the Day One Edition will net them two extra multiplayer game modes, Mad Survival and Dogfight. Along with this they will unlock an extra playable character; none other than the world’s favourite (and sexy) witch, Bayonetta.
In Mad Survival, a team of 3 players duke it out against waves of enemies, much as in the normal survival mode. However, these enemies now take the form of the other playable characters in Anarchy Reigns, leading to a far tougher series of battles that require serious tactical thinking to outsmart your foes. In traditional Platinum Games style, Dogfight sees players hanging from helicopters -pelting each other with bullets until their opponents fall out of the sky. As well as being a surreal new spin on this multiplayer brawler this aerial-based game mode is an entertaining change of pace from land-based conflict, also offering gamers a new way to explore the locations found in-game.
The iconic star of her own self-titled adventure, Bayonetta is a formidable force on the battlefield. Wielding her four guns collectively known as Scarborough Fair, she can also use her patented ‘Wicked Weave’ attacks to deal even more damage to any poor soul that falls in her sights. Players who unlock Bayonetta won’t have an advantage over the other characters but, well…she does wear guns on her boots. We’ll leave it at that.
The Anarchy Reigns Day One Edition will be available to pre-order from your local gaming retailer, at an SRP of $49.95 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Anarchy Reigns will be released on the 10th January 2013 in Australia via Five Star Games.
