Triband, the creative minds behind the wildly popular What the Golf? and What the Car?, are back with another quirky addition to their "What the...?" series: What the Clash?. This latest installment ventures into the realm of competitive 1v1 multiplayer, offering a fresh twist on the genre.
At its core, What the Clash? is a collection of minigames reminiscent of Mario Party. Players can challenge a friend in various 1v1 contests, ranging from table tennis with a mechanical twist to snowboarding. The game promises leaderboard climbing and tournament participation, blending competitive elements with Triband's signature humor.
But here's the catch: you don't control a traditional avatar. Instead, you play as a hand with a body, adding a layer of physics-based hilarity to the mix. The challenge of maneuvering these quirky characters makes the minigames both more demanding and amusing. To spice things up further, the game introduces modifiers that can transform ordinary activities like Archery into something as bizarre as Toasy Archery, ensuring that no two matches feel the same.
Set to launch on May 1st, What the Clash? promises to be a delightful addition to the "What the...?" saga. However, if you're an Android user or prefer standard iOS gaming, you'll need to look elsewhere, as What the Clash? will be exclusive to Apple Arcade. This exclusivity might just be the nudge some need to explore the diverse offerings of Apple's gaming subscription service.
