Glorious Leader is a satirical action platformer where you take on the role of Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea, and battle the entirety of the American army by your lonesome, while riding a unicorn.

The zany video game was initially announced this summer by developer Moneyhorse, and now it's undergoing a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, banking on the recent popularity of North Korea-inspired drama.

Sony was affected by the nefarious actions of hackers due to having created something similar in nature, but with a much broader audience, namely the feature-length movie "The Interview."

The film is a political comedy starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, two journalists tasked by the CIA with the assassination of the North Korean leader, after landing an interview with him for a celebrity tabloid show.

The hackers threatened much more violent action to come, should the movie be featured in theaters, and many scheduled viewings were canceled, as a result. Needless to say, the movie did great online, allegedly becoming Sony's number one online film of all time, with over two million downloads on its opening weekend.

Can the world handle this much satire?

Moneyhorse is now hoping to also ride on that gravy train by enabling gamers all around the world to step into the shoes of The Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army, the first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, and first chairman of the National Defense Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Players will be able to fight democracy all the way from Pyongyang, through the enchanted Unicorn Forest, to the American flagship, the USS Bush, hitching a ride on a missile, and riding on unicorns and narwhals, the unicorns of the sea.

You will be able to make use of several deadly weapons during your adventure, but the most destructive of them all will be Kim Jong-un's Divine Powers, delivering unparalleled devastation to the enemy army, culminating with a boss fight against the Statue of Liberty, a robot that evil Americans intend to use in order to take North Korea down.
