The game has been very well crafted. It even manages to make decent use of the Switch controls without over complicating the simple format. Anyone who wants to relive the old school Dungeons and Dragons experience from the peace and comfort of their own space will love Knights of Pen and Paper. It is cute and funny with an adventure that combines classic fantasy with a smart sense of self-awareness.

Critic reviews
- 7.1Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Deluxier Edition is well worth its asking price for its content alone. The game’s meta theme doesn’t run dry throughout and is often used as a clever tool to hold up the overall experience. Minor annoyances with its dialogue and the general grind to the side, those that relish RPG games and enjoy some light humor, will more than appreciate what’s on offer.
- Knights of Pen and Paper is a title where the enjoyment comes from the experience of the journey and not the destination. The quests and battle were fairly standard, the majority of my enjoyment came from the onslaught of ‘80s and ‘90s culture that blended perfectly within the game. From the ability to hire Master Splinter as the dungeon master, to purchasing Johnny 6 as a pet, there’s plenty to keep a smile on your face.
- Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Deluxier Edition is a fantastic title with tons of content and humor to be found throughout. Do yourself a favor and pick this title up.
- 7.0Knights of Pen & Paper +1 has a lot of charm, and a lot of game hours to go with it. As a mobile game, it works really well, and the improvements only make it better. As a PC game? Well the fact that it simple isn’t a detractor in itself, but things can get a bit tedious over the long-term, so it’s not something you’re going to commit hours at a time to playing. With the price difference as well, you can’t help but wonder whether or not you’re being done over a tad.
Gamer reviews
This is a turn base fantasy RPG and you'll get a lot of grinding, but you'll have plenty of humor/comedy along the way. It took me 25 hours to complete, but again this is a grinding game and I really enjoy grinding in this game because this game has funny graphics, and I love the humor!
