How it feels

Playing feels like stepping into a comic book with strategic turn-based battles and a dry, adult comedic tone.

What players say

Players enjoy the crude humor and nostalgic feel of early Penny Arcade, but many warn that the planned series was abandoned after this episode. Combat is repetitive and very similar to the first episode, though some appreciate the short length and active time battle system.
