Freebie Deathmatch Village crashes into the PSN update

Looks like the PSN update for Europe has kicked off earlier than usual with Floating Cloud God, a freemium version of BreakQuest and the free Deatmmatch Village on offer for Vita owners, plus the new portable content of the summer sale. Deathmatch Village is only 156Mb and offers rapidfire platform action across both the Vita and PS3. More when its finished downloading.


Now its finished downloading, you choose from one of three characters, run through a quick tutorial level showing you how to use the different weapons, melee attacks and grenades, before the ultimate aim of the game is revealed, pig collecting while deathmatching!

The graphics are clean and crisp with a down-home country feel to them, while the village section of the game has pig "conversion" units, stores, gunshops, vets (for your donkey) and so on. It's not the most logical of setups, but fun to learn and explore (the Premium building has a link to PSN which is where I guess DLC and credits can be acquired).

In the arena, you can challenge others to the deathmatch Hunts or the 3 vs 3 Races. Since I got there very early, not many folks about to play against.... no one if fact. Waiting, waiting.... anyone remember the fun of playing against bots when there weren't enough people online? Hint to Sony and Bloober there.
