It’s Game Over For Metalocalypse: Dethgame

By Spencer . July 28, 2010 . 2:11pm

Last year, Konami brought an early build of Metalocalypse: Dethgame to Comic-Con. The title was a Final Fight style beat ‘em up with fountains of blood. I played it last year and glancing through my notes Metalocalypse: Dethgame had brutal finishing moves where you can throw enemies into a spiked traps and a urinal mini-game at the beginning.

Frozen Codebase, the studio behind Screwjumper and Elements of Destruction, were working on Metalocalypse: Dethgame.

“Were” because Konami isn’t publishing the game anymore. Since Metalocalypse: Dethgame wasn’t at E3 or at Konami’s Comic-Con press suite, I asked about it. The story is Adult Swim pulled the license and axed the title. Metalocalypse: Dethgame was supposed to come out on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.

awww I was really looking forward for it....but its alright since the new episodes are soon....

[EternalCorpseGod]

NOOOO!!!! that wouldve been so BRUTAL!!

[klokateer513]

Everyone....on the count of three...in your BEST Nathan roar:

One....

Two...

Three....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[TheHafk]

Early previews said that the game wasn't really that fun, and to be honest, I'd rather have no Dethgame than a bad Dethgame.

Still, it's kind of lame that it was canceled.

[Emiliethestrange]

I have to agree, a game where you do nothing but kill people would get boring, especially if there was no real plot or anything. Brutally slaying random Dethklok fans would be fun at first, but it would get repetitive.

[holkimcardie1]

What bothers me is this is the second thing, that we know of, where a company had the license for something Metalocalypse and AS pulled the license on them. 

The other was Shocker Toys, btw.  Don't know about Kid Robot and the mini figures.  They only got one series out of that and it was suppose to be more than that.

Sigh...

[EternalCorpseGod]

thats wrong. and dirty to do for the fans

[rebelego]

No!!!!!!! I was seriously looking forward to that!!! Man that freaking bites the big one!! What they need to do is make a Metalocalypse game where you can play as Charles and constantly clean up after Dethklok, defend against the Tribunal and the Revengencers, and give the shaft to greedy record labels. All while keeping the band completely out of the loop. I would play that. They could give Charles all these awesome combo moves and instant death hits. I'm telling you, it could be awesome.

[EternalCorpseGod]

i know it does. i would love to play a game for Metalocalypse too.

i would think it would be good as a full-on fighting game.

Nathan vs. Skwisgaar battle royale!!! that would be BRUTAL!!

[rebelego]

Haha no if it was between Nathan and Skwisgaar it would end too quickly. Skwisgaar would be toast. Now Nathan and Toki would be a pretty long fight. Or even Nathan or Toki against Charles. Though I think we all know that Charles would win. Maybe that should be the game. Everyone in Dethklok fighting against everyone in Dethklok.

[klokateer513]

I agree: it should be a game where the player picks which DK character he/she wants to be!

[inhumanrampager]

YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! I'm happy they pulled the plug on it. I mean sure, it s*cks for the company, but let's face it, we were hearing bad things about the game, and I was iffy on buying it. Now a sh*tty game won't be released. As a gamer, this makes me happy. As a Metalocalypse fan, this makes me happier knowing something that coulda been sh*tty won't actually be released and therefore associated with something so awesome.

[StevieBrule]

They should remake it with Ninja Gaiden style gameplay and go from there (that game was already ultra violent)

[NoelyRolly]

now that you say that....**thinks a while** You DO have good piont...
**thinks a little bit more** Oh. If it did come out...i would have to get like a play station thingy....or "borrow" my brother's.....

**pops a Frito in mouth** i dont really care as long as they dont pull the plug on Metalocalypse itself...

[klokateer513]

MURDERFACE: I propose...NAKED DETHGAME!

SKWISGAAR: MILF's and G-MILF's ams soon-to-be G-MILF's...I LOVE IT!

TOKI: Huggins ams kissings.

NATHAN: Supermodels...that I already (Expletive censored by guitar riff)

PICKLES: Oooooo....make it like Spin-The-Bottle....A BEER BOTTLE! Or a VODKA BOTTLE!

CFO: Noted.

NATHAN: (To CFO) Uh....we didn't come up with this idea DRUNK....did we?

CFO: (To Nathan) I can assure the 5 of you that you were in no  way intoxicated when you came up for the idea of the NEW 'Dethgame.'

NATHAN: (Stunned) We weren't intoxicated, but we were DRUNK?

CFO: No, Nathan, intoxicated is another word for drunk.

PICKLES: Like 'SMASHED?'

SKWISGAAR: HAMMERS?

MURDERFACE: WASTED?

TOKI: Pickled....like PICKLE!!!

CFO: Yes...yes to all of you. What you said are words meaning drunk.

NATHAN: (Usual Adult Swim required roaring-expletive censored by guitar riff) WE WEREN'T DRUNK!!!

PICKLES: Well, we gotta git drunk...otherwise, it won't count for an idea!

TOKI: YEAH! Let's git's drunk!

SKWISGAAR: Let's git drunk!

TOKI: (Angry; to Skwisgaar) I's says it first, Skwisgaar! STOP COPIES ME!

SKWISGAAR: Yous stops copies me!

TOKI & SKWISGAAR: (In unison) Stops copies me! Stops copies me! Stops copies me! Stops copies me!

CFO: Well, if there's nothing else to discuss, I say the meeting is adjourned.

NATHAN: (Dumbfounded look on his face) Uh....(To CFO)...the meeting's still on?

CFO: (Exasperated, to Nathan) No, Nathan...the meeting's over. (Slight pause) Done. (Another slight pause) Finished. (Yet another slight pause) Through.

Dead silence.

CFO: (Absolutely frustrated; he waves his hand in desparation) BYE-BYE!

NATHAN: (Stunned) Oh!

CFO leaves.

MURDERFACE: (He's the one who's now befuddled) I don't get it!

FINIS

[inhumanrampager]

Well they won't pull the plug on that. However, the game was gonna be download only, meaning for xbox you would have to buy microsoft points to buy download only games (or download content for disc games) and for playstation 3...well, I dunno. credit/debit card information maybe? Either way, if you borrowed the system from a friend, they would have had to download it for you.

[EternalCorpseGod]

dude, Skwisgaar is GOD remember? and Toki is a massive pansy. have him fight against Murderface and watch what happens.

have Charles watch in the background b/c hes the bread and butter. no one messes with him

Maybe they can get a FULL game one day, but I'm super sad to hear that. This came was long in the making...at least they still have the comic, right?

[klokateer513]

Yes...in October.

Yep, tho' at this point all we know is it's going to be only a 3 issue mini series.  Of course that could change if the sales are good.  But for now, we'll get 3 issues.  

But the only date we have is for the first issue and that is October 6th.  I'll update as soon as Dark Horse lets us know.

Hello there, i am a new member of adultswim.com and I just recently came up with a pretty good idea for a new game.

It involves the characters of Metalocalypse, running through a crowded area with hundreds of crazy fans attacking and injuring the band.

Seething with rage at the mob, the boys would have to fight them off with their instruments.

The more they injure the emeny, the more powerful they get!

Tell me what you think.

tht sounds pretty good but instead have them fight large hordes of Revengencers instead of fans. realism to the show is paramount
