"Freaky Creatures" is a new MMO game/action figure from Abandon Interactive. Set for release this fall [http://www.myfreakycreatures.com/] , it will feature PVP monster battles, online chat, and planets to explore.

Abandon Interactive is planning to distribute the game with collectible action figures. [http://pc.ign.com/articles/876/876936p1.html] The consumer buys a starter pack with two collectible creatures and a reusable USB flash drive. The USB flash drive contains a code to unlock the game. In the game the player will then be able to play as the creature they bought.

Main Features

Players will be able to customize their creatures with parts, such as horns, wings, guns, swords, tails, and other freaky things. [http://www.massively.com/2008/02/20/gdc08-abandon-interactives-freaky-creatures/] There are over 3.2 billion possible combinations, and each part has a special effect on game play.

In addition to parts, the player can equip their creatures with powers to help them in battle. Certain powers are more powerful than others, but the creature must be at a high enough level to use a high level power. PVP Combat

Once their characters are customized, they can use these monsters to fight their friends in battle. The combat is a turn-base system that is similar rock/paper/scissor game. In this case it’s head/chest/right arm/left arm/tail game with the option to use a power each round. Once the battle has ceased, the victor will acquire some of the powers and parts owned by the loser. (The loser does not lose his powers and parts, the victor simply gains the same parts.)

The Lair

When not battling, players can view their creature’s lair. At the lair, they can play with their creature, decorate the lair, raise pets, and more. [http://www.ourfreakycreatures.com/]
