Infinity Blade dev releasing Obama vs. Romney brawler

Chair Entertainment's free cartoon-style iOS game Vote!! The Game available tomorrow, has incumbent and challenger duking it out for presidency.

Chair Entertainment is following up Infinity Blade II with another downloadable brawler, but with a very different theme. The company today announced Vote!! The Game, a free cartoon-style iOS game that pits President Barack Obama against former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.

Described as a "lighthearted romp," the game allows players to dress their candidate of choice in a range of comedic outfits, like a disco suit or boxing shorts, and equip them with a series of items, including ice cream cones and microphones. Players will duke it out in various stages, ranging from debate halls to the White House front lawn.

The game also features voice-acted soundalikes, with Obama spouting lines like "All right, we're getting fired up now" and "Can't hold us back. Why? 'Cause we're moving forward." Romney delivers quips like "You like that, huh?" and "It's time to believe in America."

Vote!! The Game is free, but as revealed in the game's announcement trailer (embedded below), users will be able to spend real money to purchase "coins," which can be spent on a range of in-game boosters. These include Filibuster, which adds an extra 30 seconds to the fight; Good Press, which allows players to take a hit without suffering a booster reset; and Health Care, a booster that makes it so players cannot be knocked down.

Additionally, through a partnership with political engagement group Rock the Vote, Vote!! The Game features in-game voter registration for the real-world presidential election this November. On top of this, Chair Entertainment and parent company Epic Games have teamed with the Video Game Voters Network and Project Vote Smart to provide gamers access to various voting resources.

According to the announcement, a portion of the proceeds from Vote!! The Game will go to Rock the Vote.
