ROYAL MAYHEM DESCENDS ON THE KINGDOM OF GLORY AS MERIDIAN4 RELEASES ‘˜GROTESQUE TACTICS 2: DUNGEONS & DONUTS’

Sequel to Popular RPG Parody Now Available on PC

Montreal, Quebec, Canada November 18, 2011 Your trusty sword and unmatched wit are all that can save you now, as Meridian4 today announced that Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts will be available today on PC via digital download on Steam and coming to other top distribution portals in the following days. Published by Meridian4 and developed by Headup Games and Silent Dreams, Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts sees the return of our valiant, uber-hero Drake, and his motley crew as they embark on a new quest to defeat a great evil.

(The Grotesque series has created a very unique gaming experience by featuring the finest elements of the classic RPG, and adding in a heavy dose of comedy by poking fun at the entire genre,) said Steve Milburn, Marketing Director of Meridian4. (Players will get a kick out of the new storyline, characters and voices, and casual and hardcore gamers alike will be thoroughly challenged and entertained.)

The story of Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts begins as the citizens of the Kingdom of Glory celebrate their victory over the Dark Church. While in the catacombs of their former enemies, their revelry is disturbed by a sudden all-encompassing fog. Those that remain alive after the strange attack barricade themselves in the depths of the catacombs. As time passes, food becomes scarce and the people of the Kingdom of Glory begin to realize that they might all meet their demise. The ‘˜heroic’ Knights of Glory, shady mercenaries and the arrogant high elves band together into guilds in order to survive and escape the dank catacombs. Unfortunately, the guilds are far too concerned with their distaste for each other, thus allowing for an awakening of dark forces in the dungeons below.

Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts for PC will be available today on Steam with a special, one-week introductory discount of 20% off its $19.99 price. Additionally, a bundle is available for both the original Grotesque Tactics and Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts with the same one-week introductory discount of 20% off its $24.99 price.
