More than 150 years in the future, the world has transformed into an unrecognizable state where all that remains are a dwindling human population and merciless robots left over from wars long past.

In Enslaved, players take on the role of Monkey, a strong and brutish loner, and his AI partner Trip, a technologically savvy but sheltered young woman from a peaceful community. Both become captured by a mysterious slave ship, which are rumored to harvest people and take them out west never to return. As they each attempt to escape, Trip realizes quickly that Monkey, with his raw strength and power, is the only hope she has of making the perilous journey back home. She hacks into a slave headband to enslave Monkey and link them together – if she dies, he dies. Her journey has now become his.

Players must make sure both Monkey and Trip work together as they skillfully navigate through the world and survive against the dangerous enemy obstacles that lie in wait. Monkey will deftly wield his trusty staff weapon to attack and defend against enemies, using a combination of melee attacks, blocks and counters. He will also be able to perform spectacular takedown moves, allowing him to rip an enemy apart piece by piece, take its weapon for his own use or destroy it in one final blow

I was reading this months issue of EDGE, and stumbled across this title.


It's being developed by Ninja Theory (the guys behind Heavenly Sword), and is a Western re-telling of Journey to the West.


It looks really nice, and EDGE seemed pretty impressed by it (and EDGE are one of the few magazines that I actually listen to), and I'm heavily impressed by the fact that it's set in a non-grey or brown Post-Apocalyptic setting.


Anybody else heard of this title? Thoughts?

The chick is heavily channelling Nariko. >_>

That's all anybody has to say about this game. Why can't people forget that and focus on the actual game?

Even if she is a clone of Nariko, it still looks and sounds amazing...

It look interesting.

I was not keen on Heavenly Sword but this seem a step up in so many ways.

Deferentially one to keep an eye for me.

Heavenly Sword had fantastic animation, acting (motion and void) and presentation; shame it played a like a mule with one leg.

I'll keep an eye on it for the sake of giving Ninja Theory a chance, and because the premise is somewhat appealing.

So...now that this game is finally upon us, I was wondering if people had formed any opinions?

I downloaded the PS3 demo the other day and had a blitz through it. I really love it...the setting is brilliant (I'm a bit of a nerd for Post-apocalyptic settings, especially in real locations), the voice-acting and animations are great, the combat is fun, the game looks fantastic and sounds great...

I just wish it wasn't coming out around the time I'm saving for Fable 3 and AC: Brotherhood...but I'll certainly be getting it when I have the cash.

There's a preview up on the GAME site that I did for them a few weeks back. I was able to play until beginning of chapter 5 but it has no story spoilers. :)

I was looking at this the other day, but I need to get paid first. I have read that the story telling is able to rival that of Uncharted 2 which is what has got me most curious.

Been playing this quite a bit. Got up to chapter five. It's actually getting pretty weird. I find it a lot of fun, though. It's quite difficult to fault it. One minor issue that I do have is that you sometimes need to be standing in a particular spot and facing in a particular direction for a jump to work properly. And sometimes you'll want to jump off a ledge, but the game doesn't let you, just because it's designed in a certain way. It's not too much of a problem, though. It's really fun!
