Knights of Pen and Paper 2 reviews

For its modest price I can only recommend this little game, especially to the nostalgic rolists of their youth and amateurs of light parodies. Perso, although it is quite repetitive (a huge succession of fights with a few rolls of dice and a little crafting in intermdes) and linear, it held me hooked until the end of the main quest, which makes a very good ratio hours of fun/prizes. On the other hand, I also find that they could have done much better with their starting idea and have failed to improve very appreciably things (apart from level graphics) compared to KoPP + 1 Edition (which I also recommend). What I would blame them basically:-the almost abandonment of the very good idea of the first opus which allowed the player to also partly take the role of the MJ by modulating the difficulty of the fights (number of opponents... and other things they might have/dù introduce as a choice between several levels for each type of Monster); If it still exists for non-quest battles and a minority of extermination/collection quests, the overwhelming majority of KoPP 2 encounters does not offer this choice and ends with a difficulty not adapted to the Group (usually too easy if you play the whole campaign with the same Persos, which will be quickly above the level of quests even without farming off-quest battles)-the low number (only 3, human, Elf, dwarf) and the little that the character breeds bring (a fixed skill and a stat point that's all) -the number of skills per perso always limited to 4 levellables based on the class (with lots of classes having in addition a skill more powerful than the others that you realize quickly be the priority) and 2 fixed by perso, introduce one or two free skills (genre a skill b onus to choose between all the skills of all classes), or make racial skills/player skills levellables would have introduced more diversity for each class and therefore replayability-for what is a game inspired by the paper role plays they seem have forgotten that in the paper JdR the MJ bases the level of meetings on the group, not on "areas" low level/high level, concept which evokes rather a parody of the design of video games; In summary I don't know of MJ who would waste his time at a level 20 group with random encounters of rats or other monsters level 1-2 each time they cross the low level areas, but that's exactly what KoPP2 does (which becomes very pesan t during the quest to unlock the monk who claims to do plenty of back and forth between the city and the South crossing the areas of departure)-the crafting is not very well balanced (a lot of useless objects compared to what is directly bought , two or three distinctly more powerful than anything else, which you will probably end up equipping in several copies-they have not thought to prohibit using more than one object of the same type, which leads to make it much useless)-the interface is perfectible (no direct link to your trunk or the merchant from the crafting for example)-no option to accelerate the rolls of dice whose animation becomes tiring to look at the long-no choice in the quest path that would offer the rejouabi Finally, in summary they could have improved significantly more things compared to the 1, but it remains a very good little game addictive anyway.
