About

Set out on a grand adventure in this turn-based, retro style, pixel-art RPG, inspired by the great titles of the 90's. This 1 edition features an extended campaign, more dungeons to explore, new attacks to use in combat, and the Tavern – a place to store your adventurers. Take on the roles of in-game players taking on the roles of their characters in a traditional pen and paper RPG session in the ultimate meta roleplaying experience. As both the playing characters AND the dungeon master, players can choose which battles to fight. Put together a bunch of monsters to make for a challenging fight and your efforts will be equally rewarded! Choose from multiple classes, such as knights and mages, pick your characters to control those classes, like grandma or kid brother, and take on the loads of quests, monsters, items and equipment littered throughout Knights of Pen

    All told, the amount of new content is significant. As a frame of reference, I finished the initial campaign and most but not all of the side quests in 477 in-game days. It took me almost 500 additional days to tackle the new quests and dungeons, and you can expect to get even more playtime out of it than that if you want to level up additional characters. The only real downside is that some grinding will probably be required if you go that route

    Still, it's hard to hold a grudge when Knights of Pen & Paper does such a great job of pandering to my favorite pastime. Even when its story temporarily devolves into a series of extremely dull fetch quests, it's kind of a blast. For a game about such a particular hobby, it does a good job of being a crowd pleaser with well-designed RPG elements and odd little sim touches.

    Even without the homage to pen and paper nerdery Knights of Pen and Paper is a fantastic semi-self driven RPG adventure. It’s clever, charming, customizable, and virtually infinitely replayable. Best download it and start attacking that darkness!

    If you're an RPG fan of any kind, you'll love Knights of Pen & Paper. It's one of those rare cases where an offbeat premise is executed with such winning aplomb you can't help but get sucked in. One of my regrets is that I've never actually played Dungeons & Dragons for real. If it's anything like Knights of Pen & Paper, it must be incredible.

    Was für eine sympathische Hommage an Pen&Paper;-Rollenspiele! Ich war dem Witz und dem Charme dieses Pixelabenteuers schnell erlegen. Es ist nicht nur eine klasse Idee, das aktive Abenteuer wie eine Theaterbühne zu gestalten, auf der die Party mitten im Dungeon an einem Tisch vor dem Meister sitzt und Getränke, Snacks sowie das Interieur einsetzen kann. Auch das Rollenspiel selbst erinnert trotz vieler Arcade-Kompromisse an gute alte Zeiten, in denen man sich rundenbasiert um Monster, Schätze und Artefakte kümmerte.
