I bought the game years ago, and just now completed it a few months ago. It was a fun game overall with some decent humor. If you like turn based RPGs it's worth giving it a chance.
tycho brahe you will pay
Takes a very different JRPG approach than the previous titles, but still manages to feel like a Penny Arcade take on classic JRPGs.
fun JRPG
While the switch from 3D to pixel art may not be everyone's cup of tea I do enjoy this artstyle very much, the backgrounds are incredibly detailed and the story truly kicks into gear now, while still keeping the humor intact. The ending of the episode (as well as the side story dlc) left me utterly speechless and made me boot up the next episode as soon as I was done. 9/10 still no yaoi, smh...
Fun rpg game!
