First Details: King of Clubs

By Rob Galbreath / Wednesday, 09 May 2007

Oxygen Games released first details on their upcoming King of Clubs. Described as an "off the wall mini-golf-based puzzler [that] requires players to use their ingenuity to play their way to victory and lucrative rewards," the game takes place across five themes of locations and over 95 holes. The press release also referred to the stages as puzzles, although Oxygen Games remained vague as to what this entailed. The description is as follows: Set in a dilapidated theme park in the middle of the Nevada desert (rumors abound that it is built on the site of an old nuclear waste site... but we can ignore that), King of Clubs looks like a cross between an amateur theatrical production and a kitsch vintage Americana playground paradise for jerky-lovin' trailer trash! Complete with pteranodons on poles, spaceships on string and wobbly waves (plus so much more!), each themed world comes complete with its own quirky resident pro/boss, whom players must beat in order to advance to the next level before ending up in a showdown with the top guy himself, Big Bubba King. Visit The Wiire's media section for more screens. The release also confirmed up to four players for matchplay and strokeplay modes. King of Clubs is slated to release this August. Stay on The Wiire as we follow up on this bizarre game of golf.
