About Parable Academy

Parable Academy is a 2.5D tag team fighter with only one attack button. A Fabled curse has swept the world... ordinary teens have begun transforming into characters from their favorite classic stories. In order to keep these young people safe from their own curses, a university was set up - Parable Academy for Fabled Youths! Can these students survive the constant attacks from literature's greatest villains?With simple movement controls and a single button to use for all attacks, Parable Academy is incredibly easy for newcomers to pick up.Press the attack button with a direction to use your fighters' special moves, or hold the button for longer to unleash powerful Supercharge attacks!With 8 playable fighters from classic fiction to choose from at launch, you'll have the opportunity to master plenty of unique playstyles!
  • Alice uses a variety of tools including the Vorpal Sword, a flamingo croquet mallet, and a mad teacup barrage to perform strong bread and butter (or perhaps, bread-and-butterfly) combos!
  • The Creature harnesses the power of lightning to stun opponents, and comes alive with his devastating throws!
  • As Wendy, you'll believe you can fly with bonus air mobility. Grab foes' shadows to drag them across the screen, and clap your hands to summon fairies that carry opponents away!
  • Willie can play a silly symphony on the opponent with his powerful ranged attacks including steam whistles, music notes, and stretchy arms!
  • Use Dorothy's Silver Shoes to execute precision teleportation, and wear the Golden Cap to call limited-use favors from the Winged Monkeys!
  • As Gatsby, pop some corks to temporarily buff your mobility and change the properties of certain attacks!
  • Scheherazade can use her storybook to summon thieves and legendary Rocs, controlling the field and supporting her team with her djinn Supercharge!
  • ...And more to come!
Build up your tag meter by attacking opponents. You can use your meter to tag at any time, even tagging mid-combo to chain multiple characters' attacks together!Alternatively, you can use your tag meter while under attack to bring in a teammate and punish the opponent - but take care that you don't get multiple fighters trapped in the enemy's moves.With three fighters per team, there's no limits to the team optimizations you can hone!Parable Academy has full voice acting for all playable fighters, and unique storybook-style cutscenes for each character's Arcade Mode intro and ending.Pick your favorite teams to run through Parable Academy's multiple single-player modes!NOTE: If you want to test out the game's controls and online netcode, download the free demo!

✦ AI summary

Parable Academy is a creative 3v3 fighting game using public domain characters that impresses players with its accessible gameplay, full voice acting, and solid foundation, though it's held back by rough hitbox interactions, deceptive move disjoints, and inconsistent music composition. The roster of eight characters features genuinely fun and unique fighters like the Creature and Wendy, with the game running efficiently on modest hardware and offering arcade modes with endings plus online play. While the game needs refinement in its technical execution and could benefit from more characters, p

Parable Academy is a 3v3 game that is a bit rough around the edges but is worth the asking price. Some characters are positively deranged to play (the Creature, Wendy) and really open up to crazy shenanigans. In its current incarnation, the game offers 8 playable characters (1 of which secret), a fully voiced cast, arcade mode with endings, online and offline VS plus some nifty unlockables. Some hitbox interactions and move trades are not completely clean and some moves have deceptive disjoints, but there is a good foundation that can be iterated upon. Despite some flaws, I would definitely recommend at least checking it out, if anything for how it reinterprets some famous public domain characters like Peter Pan's own Wendy and The Great Gatsby (the very last character I expected to be playable in a fighting game).

A small but very creative fighting game using public domain characters. The controls are so simple that I got an old friend who never plays video games to play it with me. There is one unlockable character currently but he's not very hard to unlock. It can run on a potato and I respect that in any game. I look forward to future updates -- a 3v3 game can always use more characters. I am feeling mixed on the music in terms of composition -- I see the vision of using age old pieces to create something new but there's something wrong with the synth. The Creature is a strong grappler, you love to see it.
