You also get the chance to alter your team to balance player strengths and manage any weaknesses.Īfter that it's all strategy. If you get the drop on your enemies before going into battle, you get to move first. The RPG mechanics aren't as deep as they could have been, but for those newer to the genre this is a pretty good introduction. Alright, those of you that are easily offended and don't take kind to shock factor probably won't get on with this, but it's not for everyone.

Its excellent audio and visuals make you feel like you're watching the TV series and it's hard not to laugh out loud at times. Since this is South Park we're talking about, especially with Trey Parker and Matt Stone still firmly behind the wheel, its references to gender, race, and a rather stereotypically brutal police force are clear as day and don't pull any punches. You have about 20-ish hours of gameplay to get into or more if you go after all of the collectibles. You'll search for missing cats, beat up bad guys, do good deeds, poop in everyone's toilets, and much more. It may not be a particularly deep RPG system, but it's still a lot of fun. Your kid gets to choose their first class, gets a tragic back story, and is set loose on South Park to fight crime and, er, stuff.

You may approach the subject with a sigh, but the game's strong superhero theme runs along as more of a parody than anything. Kicking out straight in the previous game's medieval world, you trade in your sword and crown for a pair of skin-tight leggings and some snappy superpowers. The Fractured But Whole is a turn-based RPG which follows on from its predecessor, The Stick of Truth. While some gamers won't be too thrilled about its gruff, and at times offensive, humour, The Fractured But Whole is a surprisingly fun game that's extremely easy to lose yourself in. Known for its crude humour, it certainly doesn't pull its punches on Nintendo's newest family console. Instantly, you know whether you'll like this game or not depending on whether you like its parent show, South Park.
