‘Draw Your Own Adventure’ Coming to the DS

“In Drawn to Life, players will help save a distant village from the shadow-like evil that has covered it in darkness. Using one of four different Hero forms, including Flying Hero and Aquatic Hero, players will conquer a variety of different environments including snowy fields, tropical islands and dark forests.”

Uh oh, sounds like another generic adventure game, right? Well, the gameplay might be lame but if the character design sucks you’ve only got yourself to blame. Developer 5th Cell and THQ are putting your artistic skills to the test by giving you the ability to create your own hero and “game elements” with this unique DS adventure slated for a fall release.

“The robust drawing tool contains different methods of creation in addition to numerous colors, brush types and stamps that will allow for complete freedom to develop one-of-a-kind characters and game elements. Drawn to Life will also feature the ability for players to trade their created heroes with friends via the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi function.”

Imagine the emotional attachment when you see your own creation — oh who am I kidding? Everyone’s just gonna make big boner monsters, stick figures, or boob creatures. Outside of gameplay users can also recreate the world around them by “drawing the planets, animals, sun, moon, stars and much more!” It sounds interesting enough and looks to be an action-platformer rather than a lame monster battler like previous draw-it-yourself games Magic Pengal and Graffiti Kingdom. I can’t wait to see your perverted creations! Umm, this one may be Friends Code only. Check inside for the images.
