The actual sales figures for Ninja Theory’s third person action game ‘Enslaved: Odyssey to the West’ are in, and they make for disappointing reading. Worldwide, just 460,000 copies have been sold, and we wonder if that might put talks of a sequel to rest.
As most of you know, I loved Enslaved despite marking it down due to certain issues. I’m not the only one, and many TSA readers have found themselves just as enthralled with the tale of Monkey and Trip. If you see the game lying about at a good price I urge you to give it a go – it’ll be money well spent.

Doesn’t surprise me at all. I was over at Ninja theory for an interview six months ago and they had no interest in marketing the game or using the power of social media to increase sales. Heck they didn’t even want to talk to existing fans to increase brand awareness and loyalty. My opinion of them was that they make games for the industry and that is what they care about, how other games company’s see them.

They did get the job, they are now the marketing manager! XD

This is one of many games that I’ve been meaning to get round to playing.
On a side note: I’ve heard the DLC (Pigsy’s Perfect 10) adds 3D into the mix, and allows you to play the whole game in 3D. Anyone on here done that, if so what did you think?

I wasn’t really happy with the gameplay.
From the producers of Heavenly Sword, i expected a little bit more and overall i couldn’t identify with the characters.

Really??? I thought the characters were great.

I don’t know how true it is but I read somewhere that fans of either Devil May Cry of InFamous 2 boycotted Enslaved due to the furor over the character changes. But I can’t see the connection myself between Enslaved and those two games.

I can understand why, but I have purchased this game on day one and have not opened the package ='( too many great games that I was busy playing and more great titles kept flooding in. I just can’t seem to find a perfect time to play Enslaved

At least you bought it! Great game by the way (IMO).

I know they didn’t make any money from Heavenly Sword but it was a more attractive game in every way and i wish they’d stuck to their original plan of a trilogy.

I personally enjoyed Enslaved very much, and was really looking forward to a sequel. It rally is a shame when developers and publishers take the risk of releasing new IP’s and then they fail commercially despite being solid games.
The fact that we live in a world where Army of Two gets a sequel and Enslaved doesn’t, saddens me to no end.
