Muito legal o jogo, gostei dos design do jogo e dos diálogos em quadrinhos
I mean, if you like penny arcade you'll probably like this. do i have some personal moral questions about the wanton murder of homeless people? yes. but that may be me being that one friend whos too woke. plenty tycho, gabe, and annarchy content, and there is a cat that you can try to pet. its also fairly funny, not too difficult to play, but not boring mechanics wise either. character creation is pretty limited but what can you expect
Bun joc.
Audio issues render the game unplayable for me.
good game
***strangely, this game will scale with your Windows settings - so make sure your System setting is put to 100% or you'll freak out trying to install graphics packs.. only to figure that out yourself in a few hours. .... but for the games...*** Flash back- 2008, They're actually making an Iron Man movie? Weird... Russia lets this weird stiff dude named Vlad be Prime Minister.... This Facebook thing is actually becoming kinda neat... and Indiana Jones was fighting Aliens, like a working man do. What a wonderous time to have been alive... truly. Blockbuster video is a full 2 years from collapse. Netflix still mails you discs. G4tv was still a thing. There was this crazy tv show on AMC about this teacher selling meth and Battlestar Galactica is still on TV. Music was all pretty much horrible and that is why Napster. We all still believed that things were generally ok... Weed wasn't legal but then again drugs generally didn't all just flat out kill you.. so it was ok to have a dealer... and speaking of dealers; you were ok paying Xbox to be able to play with your friends, a "subscription"? Is that what they're calling it... hah!! This was a super rare gem on the Xbox Live Arcade store I stumbled on and fell in love with for all 4 episodes (two of which are free on Steam as well) So if you too were just looking for another dead game you remembered like a fever dream... like the hobo meat, the cat who somtimes just wipes whole mobs but mostly cleans it's own butt, the mime priest and just the amazingly well crafted humor that PA had... Oh, and - well this is where the robots that are on Will Wheaton's shirt in the Big Bang Theory episode about the Warlords of Ka'ah card tournament in Stuart's card shop comes from.. they have a name and they get distracted by having relations with oranges... it's a solid game, once you get the timing down.
On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is a surprisingly charming little RPG that I had a blast with — the Penny Arcade humor lands well if you appreciate that brand of absurdist, slightly crude wit, and there's something genuinely delightful about beating up mimes and hobos with a rake in a Lovecraftian 1920s setting. The combat system keeps things engaging with its active-time mechanics and QTE special moves for blocking and combos, which adds a satisfying layer of skill beyond just issuing commands. It's short — I wrapped it up in around 7 hours — but that brevity works in its favor; it never outstays its welcome or devolves into a grind, especially since enemies are finite and stay dead. If you're not already a Penny Arcade fan, some of the humor might not click, but the comic-book art style and tight combat are enjoyable on their own merits. Recommended, especially at a sale price.
goated
Played again after a decade still holds up... love this and 2
I bought this when I thought Penny Arcade was funny. Definitely a style of humour that should be left in the 00's.
