We have all enjoyed Alice in Wonderland, the animated adaptation of Disney from the classic book of lewis carroll. A psychedelic journey in which the young protagonist arrives at a place full of surprises, where no one seems to know exactly what is happening and that will lead her to experience all kinds of varied situations.
A tale that we associate with colour, fun and childhood, but which Spicy Horse Games decided to twist to unsuspected limits in 2011. Alice: Madness Returns is the name given to this macabre version in which Alice has no problem holding a knife to wipe out half of Wonderland. The best thing is that you have it within reach on Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S and PC.
The plot tells how Alicia’s family died in a fire, which caused the girl a serious upset. After ten years in the Rutledge Asylum, the young woman manages to leave the center carrying her fantasy kingdom, Wonderland. Our task will be to dive into her mind to end the fears that prevent her from moving forward in the real world.
The Teapot Cannon, Punishing Hobby Horse, and Vorpal Blade are some of the weapons we can use in action-packed third-person duels. Obviously, we will come across characters as recognizable as the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar and the Red Queen, although all with a macabre and almost apocalyptic touch.
In Alice: Madness Returns we can make use of different abilities such as being able to float in Alice’s dress, shrink to tiny sizes or grow disproportionately. Of course, you will also have to rack your brain a bit to solve puzzles, riddles and all kinds of puzzles.
