Shrek: Fairy Tale Freakdown is an action fighting video game based on the Shrek franchise, developed by Prolific and published by THQ for Game Boy Color in 2001.
Gameplay[]
Shrek: Fairy Tale Freakdown is a 2D action fighting game in which a player controlled character and an AI controlled character use offensive and defensive attacks, with the goal of depleting their opponent's health. If the player defeats the enemy, they will be presented with a password, which can be entered into the password menu on the main screen to play from their current position in the game. Upon completing all 9 stages, the player is granted the rank of champion.
Alongside the 'Play Game' mode, is the 'Practice' mode, in which the player is given the option of practicing their attacks on a stationary enemy on a randomly selected stage. In this mode, the opponent character will never move or attack the player, and will regenerate health when not in combat for a few moments.
