So I had to play Drag Her! – the drag queen fighting game.
The whole concept it too irresistible.
I don’t typically care about drag queen stuff. I’ve never watched Ru Paul’s Drag Race ever. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I realize drag queens have been a thing across many cultures – it is an art form. I’ve just never paid attention.
But a fighting game? Yeah, I’m totally on board. And I’m glad I tried Drag Her!
Because this game is absolutely hilarious. I have not laughed so hard while playing a video game in a long, long time. Whoever made this deserves an award because I was bowled over laughing.
The moves are over-the-top. One of the drag queens hits another over the head with a bloody trashcan! Another has this special move where there’s a Sailor Moon-esque animation – then she brings out this humongous lipstick bazooka.
Then when you get knocked out, the narrator yells “K-Ho!” It’s the little touches like that which give this game so much charm.
There’s no single player arcade mode or campaign. If you want to play this, it must be co-op. Thankfully, there’s both local and online co-op modes available and I had no trouble finding an opponent.
I have no idea who the developer is, but it looks like this is Fighting Chance Games’ first release. I look forward to what the deliver next because Drag Her! is definitely memorable.
