Free Download: Knights Of Pen And Paper +1



We went missing for a while, but here we are, back with another amazing free download! Knights Of Pen And Paper +1, the pc version of the best selling Knights Of Pen And Paper for Apple and Android mobile devices. And let me be sincere, this game is the definition of awesome.

You're going to be simulating an adventurous rpg session: you start with the Dungeon Master sitting at his table waiting for the other players. Instead of choosing a race and a class, you will have to pick a person and his class: you're not going to have a half-elf warlock, but most probably a pizza man barbarian, or a metal guy shaman. Each person has a passive attribute that works no matter what class you choose and makes them more, or less, fir for certain purposes. After you settled your party, you're ready to start the journey and be the knights of pen and paper, slashing monsters and casting spells while looting fancy new pieces of equipment and recruiting new sidekicks. Did i mention that you can play up to more than 12 classes but only 6 are available from the start?

What makes this free download really stand out is the fact that it's soaked into a pool of pop culture references. You'll be facing the pirates of the carribbeans, turtles dressed as ninjas, resting in the "defaul town" and travelling among the meta-rpg elements that made me constantly think "these guys are genius". For the rest, this game kicks on nostalgia pretty hard: it’s all about pixels and midi music, but it manages to look great thanks to the amount of details and the cell-shading sketches.

The only aspect i feel i could complain about is the fact that with this potential, things could have gone much further. The gameplay is entertaining and all but it lacks of hardcore sides or strategical depht, and the interaction with the players stereotypes is limited to a couple of lines as you pick them or as you level up. This is an A class game that had the potential to be a triple A.

To sum up, Knights Of Pen And Paper +1 is an RPG in which the characters are playing an RPG, it comes for free on our free download project, you can let your grandma be the tank. Anything else?
