‘PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist' fan reactions; initial performance
YouTube sensation PewDiePie, aka Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, released his official video game titled, “PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist” on Thursday.
MTL Blog wrote that in November 2014, Outerminds, a small studio in Montreal, developed a retro video game called “PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist,” which is based on PewDiePie himself and his friends. The survival platformer game was further improved when Kjellberg sent them a Twitter private message with plans to make the game bigger and longer. The result is the new game, which is now available worldwide for $4.99.
“PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist” is playable on both iOS and Android. The 25-year-old PewDiePie announced the game’s release in a new video blog. He added that there will be livestreams, exclusive rewards and bonus items for the first people who will beat certain levels, Pocket Gamer reports. When players finish the game’s three main difficulty modes, there will be a Pug Mode.
The objective of the game is to finish levels by avoiding evil barrels that attempt to block the player’s path. Bro Coins are also available and can be collected to purchase upgrades. One of the upgrades include “Brofist,” which lets players clear the screen of opponents to complete levels faster. Gamers can take on the role of PewDiePie, his girlfriend CutiePieMarzia and other YouTubers that he works with. In the Pug Mode, players can take on the role of PewDiePie’s two pugs, Maya and Edgar.
