Since they were busy working on that game, another developer, KYY Games, stepped up for the sequel. The original game was created by Behold Studios, who just put the finishing touches on their latest game, Chroma Squad. You travel to a location, pick up a quest that always involves killing a certain number of things, you travel to another location, fight the things in turn-based battles, then head home to collect the reward and buy new stuff. The actual mechanics of the game couldn’t be more meat and potatoes as far as the video game type of RPGs go. This unusual theme is used to poke fun at tropes of the genre and as an excuse to drop in pop culture references every few minutes or so. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, I stuck it out to the end, and while I think fans of the first will probably enjoy this game and get their money’s worth out of it, Knights Of Pen & Paper 2 is in my opinion a step down from the first game in several ways.įor those who might be unfamiliar with the franchise, Knights Of Pen & Paper is a streamlined turn-based RPG that has you take on the role of various odd characters who are playing an in-game RPG. If I had called it quits an hour or so in, I might have walked away thinking this was a marginally improved, safe follow-up to the original. When I first started playing the game, I know that’s how I felt. It would be awfully easy for me to say that if you liked Knights Of Pen & Paper ($4.99), you’ll love Knights Of Pen & Paper 2 (Free).
