'Freaky Creatures' Content Update Adds Freaky Adventures

Freaky Creatures is an interactive gaming platform incorporating collectible toys, customizable characters, an expansive online interactive community and challenging virtual battles with other players’ creatures.

Freaky Creatures appeals to tweens, teens and adult gamers alike, positioning players as trainers battling each other for control of the galaxy’s natural resources. Gamers raise, train and befriend their Freaky Creatures by decorating their lair and buying them food, pets and toys. To succeed, trainers embark on their journey to dominance by battling their creatures against others via PC to PC, PC to mobile, and mobile to mobile game play.

Freaky Creatures starts in the real world as gamers collect one of 10 collectible toys packaged with an accompanying USB key; giving players access to download the game to their personal computer and mobile devices. Each key adds a creature to the player’s lair and randomly gives parts, powers and lair decorations to that player’s account. From there, the player becomes a “Freaky Creatures” trainer where the player must raise, train and customize their “Freaky Creatures’” powers and compete in galactic battles. A victory gives the player new powers, experience points, and creature credits, as well as the opportunity to advance to new levels and unlock new abilities and features.

In Freaky Adventures, players delve deeper into the Freaky Creatures universe as they explore uncharted destinations beyond the familiar creature lairs and battle arenas. The previously unexplored environments in Freaky Adventures bring a wealth of strange life forms, items and enemies, each with its own specific abilities and powers. A new world map allows easy access to over 40 missions, while a missions log helps players keep track of their progress. Players will interact with key characters in the Freaky Creatures universe, and get to enter new lands including the Veseran Jungles, Towering Plateaus and Ssorak Ruins. On their journeys, players not only gain experience to level up their creatures, but also gain access to powerful new parts, powers and lair objects.


Freaky Adventures incorporates inventive gameplay, missions and environments that will appeal to our dedicated community and new players alike,” said Jamie Ottilie, COO and president of Abandon Interactive Entertainment. “This new content allows players to experience an already-robust online game in a completely different way.”

In Freaky Creatures, players start with an empty lair they can fill and customize to house their Creature using an assortment of items including pillars, a radio, furniture and plants. Players can then invite their friends’ Creatures to socialize and explore in their own personalized lair. The screenshots reveal the multitude of decor a player can use to enhance and personalize their lair.

In preparing for battle, players can choose from a variety of parts and powers that work in unison with each other to increase their chances of winning battles. The screenshots show how the creatures use their various parts and powers to battle each other for points, experience and Creature Credits. Creature Credits can then be used to buy more parts, powers and objects for the creature’s lair.

Along with battling, players can immerse themselves in the online Freaky Creatures social community. Equipped with online comics, character blogs, mini-games and tournaments, special member contests, chat rooms for trading powers and secrets, online polls, individual pages and team pages as well as private forums, Freaky Creatures is designed to support an active online community safe for all ages.

Freaky Creatures starter packs are now available for purchase at comic, hobby and local toy retailers and FYE stores nationwide for $19.99. The game is also available at FAO Schwarz in New York City.
