Penny Arcade’s “On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 4” concludes the saga of Tycho Brahe, Scion of The Long Project, and his almost certainly human partner Jonathan Gabriel. The world has been destroyed, but existence extends beyond this mortal plane in the gruesome Underhell!

Love this game, and is what I easily consider the best out of the Penny Arcade Series. For the record, I didn't care for the first two at all but loved the stylistic change of the third. I played through the entire game on the hardest difficulty which is highly rewarding and although it seems impossible at points there's always a way to puzzle through a fight and move forward. I'd say the best part of the game is the battle system and the writing, if you are a fan of penny arcade comics, zeboyd games, SNES style RPGs (particularly FF6) then this will be one of your favorite games.
The game and series are worth buying. I'd say out of the two JRPG in the series, this one is the best. It felt professional and didn't feel like a RPGmaker game. There were lots of avenues to go off and explore. There were whole dungeons set off from the main path to look into. The music was actually fun and I enjoyed fighting Fish Force. It did suffer a bit from repetitive gameplay but that's a fault of the genre not of the game and I think the devs saw that by not making you fight an insane amount of enemies and spicing it up with special conditions, having two parties you switch between, and giving you a lot of combinations of heroes and monsters to fight with. The third game I had to grind monsters for an hour or two for xp but there's none of that in this game. I never read the Penny Arcade comics so I didn't quite understand the reasoning of Tycho but the storyline was still fun. I wish they had kept the unnamed protagonist in One and Two but maybe there is a limit to the technology they used in this one.

Smart design remixes and reimagines many elements of the classic JRPG formula to make for a game that's simultaneously familiar and new. Battles are more like puzzles that force you to rethink your team composition and ability usage and are balanced for the perfect level of difficulty. Don't sign up for the story, though--while Jerry is a great writer many formats, the narrative here is barely coherent.
I've had so much fun, and so many laughs with this game.
like FF6. yay
An amazing, funny story with witty characters and fun, turn-based combat.
I love this series. It's a fun set of games and the story is entertaining.
