This game lets you simulate medieval battles, and it looks absolutely hilarious
In "T.A.B.S," you can set up medieval-style battles between two "teams," red and blue, while you sit back to see what happens and enjoy the show.
These battles can get pretty epic. Just look at the fear and furor in those hilarious googley eyes.
The red and blue soldiers "die" in battle after sustaining enough damage. It looks like they can take about as much damage as humans could before succumbing to the devastating effects of medieval weaponry.
And while there are no gory effects, you still get some pretty accurate physics and movements, like when a soldier gets skewered by a sword.
You can customize what kind of weapons each side uses and choose to have an evenly balanced battle where both sides have somewhat equal weaponry and defenses...
Or a totally unfair and one sided battle where one team has three-pronged spears and the other has only its hands.
You can arrange a simple fist fight between two players, although it looks more like flailing than actual fisticuffs.
There's a variety heavy weaponry you can add to battles, too, like battle chariots.
Spear launchers where the spears explode upon impact.
And there are strange weapons, like a soldier with some sort of jacket who poops out attack chickens that launch themselves towards other soldiers and kills them upon impact. Of course.
But as deadly as the attack-chickens are, they're no match for shields, and the blue soldiers kill the attack-chicken soldier with a violent shield-crush maneuver.
You should really watch the short videos, as the noises the soldiers makes it half the fun:
Here's the second short video. You can definitely make time to check it out:
