A ton a fun, and more for long-time fans

I just finished my first run of the game, and had a lot of fun doing it, from start to finish. When I say fun, it's both because the game is good and both it's immensely funny. This is an old-school tactical RPG: turn-based, with synergies between abilities, alterations, skill trees... You have a mostly fixed party (6 characters, plus one extra chosen among three) going through the dungeon of Naheulbeuk. The progression inside the dungeon is far from linear, and you have your fair share of optional sidequests. It must be said that the game is based on a French podcast from before they were called podcasts), a parody of a tabletop RPG session with archetypal characters falling into every trope, and tons of jokes about it. It's still going strong to this day, as novels and comics. While you can enjoy the game just fine going blind, there is additional depth to the story and the jokes if you're familiar with the source material. My only gripe is with the UI, which is a bit clunky. I started playing with keyboard and mouse, but switched to a Dualshock 4 after a few hours and didn't regret it. Also, some puzzles were not very interesting. The story is well fleshed-out, fully voiced and perfectly in the spirit of the source material (John Lang, the author, was directly involved in the game). At least in French, the dialogs are an endless well of jokes that you'll remember until the end of times. ;) The fights have a lot of variety, fun ideas and never feel stale, with many opportunities to use the terrain to your advantage (exploding beer kegs, throwing the dwarf over obstacles, and so on). Power progression felt tightly tuned, as you never lingered too long before gaining new abilities and ability points. I did my first run on the second difficulty setting (out of 4), and found it well-tuned. I had to think my way through the fights, but kept the freedom to take skills I liked or found fun without risking gimping my characters. Have fun, and lots of it!

A fun dungeon-based game

I enjoyed playing this game. The entirety is in a dungeon that has shops, so it reminded me vaguely of Ultima Underworld and other games in general atmosphere. Combat is fun, and this is the only turn based isometric RPG that I've seen that allows overwatch as an action, which I liked and want to see in more games of this style. There are a few different difficulty options, and the easy one was plenty easy for someone like me who likes playing games, but doesn't have a lot of skill (nor the free time to gain the skill). This game really calls for a New Game Plus mode, which it doesn't have. The possibility for it is even baked into the story. I ran into a few minor bugs or glitches that don't affect gameplay much. For instance every once in a while when I'd launch the game it would crash on launch. Every time though it launched right after when I'd try again. There were a few other things like attacks missing that should have hit or something in combat, can't remember, but it wasn't too often. One warning though for those with misophonia: the elf's heal ability is a kiss that does a loud smooching sound three times in a row. I wish I could have found a mod to silence that, or at least reduce it to one smooch. I ended up taking my headphones off every time I used that ability. Overall, I enjoyed it and would like to play more (expansion or sequel). Just hopefully with a mod or option to silence the elf's smooches.

Excelent roleplay parody

The game is lots of fun, if you're a nerd. Tons of funny references from all fantasy genre you could think of. The pj are the archetype of base characters, like "the barbarian" and you end up loving how they play their role. You could tell the people who made it did it with care, just exploring the details of the various rooms is plenty of fun. The game have some flaws, like bugs, that are being fixed, the difficulty curve could be better, it seems like when you go past a point in the 4th floor, which is pretty hard and you need to do secondary quests first to hope to be able to beat it, the game starts to be pretty easy, and the end boss could be easily defeated if you play it right. Not the other boss though.... I hope there's a sequel, I need to know what the future holds for the Ogre, the true hero of the game for my playthrough.

Could've Been Four Stars With More Work

This game could've been much better with a little more effort. The English translation is... iffy in several respects: Some of the translation is awkward, the UI has missing localizations (which are frankly so easy to spot I wonder how the missed them), the voice acting ranges between excellent (Felicia Day) and awful, if you choose a female narrator the game doesn't take that into account and the characters refer to a male one. The game itself is fairly fun although the combat could've used some more work, specifically it's hard to tell what enemy spells actually do, and there are trap mechanics that aren't explained anywhere etiher. The plot is a bit weak and, obviously is trying to be silly and fun, but is hamstrung by the at times poor translation.

Very good

Don’t let the graphics and the funny tone fool you, this is one of the best tactical RPGs in recent years. You get up to 8 party members and fight lots and lots and lots of turn-based battles against goblins, weirdo cultists, drunken orcs, cursed books, chickens, undead librarians, a demonic game show and anything else that stands in your way. On the higher difficulties the game is HARD, but not unreasonably so, you eventually get better at positioning, skill selection and anticipating the moves ahead. The jokes sometimes land sometimes they don’t but overall the game is pretty funny. If you want a deep story or complex dialogue trees, that’s not here. If you want a good tactical game with a light funny story, this is really a 5/5 experience.
