Corgis and cats with crossbows: Party Animals wants to be your new Saturday night video game

I've said it before and I'll say it again: there's nothing quite like a kitten wielding a crossbow. Party Animals gives you an array of adorable pets to dress up and throw into an arena, where they slapstick-spar against each other with bats, shovels, nunchucks and more. Developer Recreate Games looked to the much-loved jelly-baby beat-'em-up Gang Beasts for inspiration for this upcoming party brawler. Having your otter grab a crossbow to take your family out? "Picture this: you transform into an adorable corgi, your best buddy turns into a goofy dinosaur, and your girlfriend becomes a cute kitten. You're all brawling on a submarine, in a bar, in the snow; in all sorts of extraordinary places," explains the head of Recreate Games, known only as PM.
