Paradox Interactive has announced a brand new game for the iOS, Android, and of course PC—Knights of Pen & Paper 2—sequel to the zany indie RPG from 2013.
The game has been dated for release on May 14 and, much like its predecessor, sees players taking on the role of a bunch of people playing as a group of fantasy heroes. It’s a game within a game that makes heavy references to the role-playing game genre.
Unlike the first game, which was fairly minimalistic, the upcoming title will have 16-bit graphics, a new combat system, a newly implemented crafting system (because what RPG doesn’t have a good crafting system to go along with it?) and dynamically generated dungeons. There’s also new character classes to choose from.
Knights of Pen & Paper 2 rolls with the following features:
- +2 to Impress: The retro adventure makes the leap from simulated 8-bit graphics to simulated 16-bit graphics, providing players with twice the bits
- New Racial Feats: Customize your party members by choosing players such as the Goth or the Rocker, classes such as Wizard or Thief, and for the first time, races such as Dwarves and Elves
- A Game of Throws: Face the whims of the d20 in an overhauled combat system, new crafting and loot, dynamically generated dungeons, and a variety of nail-biting saving throws
- Entirely Too Many Gaming and Pop Culture Jokes: Seriously
Here’s a teaser trailer. More details are coming soon.
