Blitz Arcade and NAMCO BANDAI release Kung-Fu fighter on PlayStation Network Europe

19 NOVEMBER 2009 LEAMINGTON SPA, UK - Retro-style arcade beat ‘em up Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao is out today on PSN Europe, priced at €12.99

Published by NAMCO BANDAI, Invincible Tiger was developed by Blitz Arcade, a division of Blitz Games Studios, one of Europe's largest independent video games developers.

An original concept by Blitz Arcade Project Director Ollie Clarke, the 70s Kung-Fu movie-style side-scroller follows the eponymous hero as he battles across ancient China to reclaim the Star of Destiny from the Evil Overlord. Along the way he fights the Overlord's wicked hoards, which range from henchmen to the undead. Luckily, he's well equipped with intense combos, slick counter-moves, the ability to wield deadly weapons and mystical Zen attacks.

Players can fill Han Tao's Zen Meter with punishing combos and well-timed dodges to unlock the full potential of his power and annihilate his enemies. Sliding down ropes, going through doors, climbing up poles or jumping on roofs, Han Tao is also able to use his environment to quickly escape danger or catch enemies off guard.

Ollie Clarke said: "We're really pleased with Invincible Tiger out on PlayStation Network Europe, bringing it to a new audience. We really hope people enjoy playing the game as much as we have making it,”"

Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao offers a variety of multiplayer modes for both online and local play:

· Team up with a partner and take on the Evil Overlord's diabolical army through Story Mode Co-op.

· Battle through each level, dealing with increasing difficulty and a shared Zen-meter.

· Learn combat techniques in the single player game and use them beat your enemies into the dust.

· Experience Endurance Mode where you'll face an endless stream of enemies under a time limit.

· Post your scores online for bragging rights.
