If you only know Tycho Brahe from Poker Night, this is a great refresh. I'm a big fan of the character customisation, even if it's a bit limited. I'm so ♥♥♥♥♥ at turn based combat, but the difficulty options are easy to understand, and you're able to change them at any time :) A little sad that this isn't available for purchase in Australia, but much thanks to my friend Razgriz for gifting it to me <3 don't u drop that mud. that's good mud.3 found this helpful
Fun as hell, especially if you enjoy the Penny Arcade style of humor though you don't need to know much about the comics since this is an AU, while it is a parody game it does have its serious moments and replaying it after finishing all episodes the foreshadowing in each episode is insane. 9/10, docked one point because they should have made Tycho and Gabe kiss.2 found this helpful

Scribing a chortling appraisal of Gabe & Tycho's first transversal into the industry they've burlesqued for years is nugatory when compared to the imagined comic Penny Arcade would inevitably cast of their creation in three panels. [i](int. The bathroom section of a home improvement store) [h3](Panel 1)[/h3] (Tycho is in oblivious contemplative thought, meanwhile Gabe is looking at toilets)[/i] TYCHO "I never thought it was be this hard." GABE "Passing a turd that's been calcifying deep within is an ordeal." [i][h3](Pane 2)[/h3] (Gabe is in the process of unbuckling and unzipping his pants)[/i] TYCHO "Maybe if it were pinched into smaller pieces." GABE "This toilet is rated for several billiard balls!" [i][h3](Panel 3)[/h3] (Gabe is seated on the toilet, pants off. Customers and employees are aghast)[/i] TYCHO "Perhaps our ridicules have been unduly brutish before first-hand experience." GABE "I wouldn't pay me to take a dump on my own chest."
Rife with the Penny Arcade *vibe* Just a fun time
A good turn-based RPG with a touch of point-and-click adventure. It has a great sense of humor, a blend of the absurd and the clever. The progression is satisfying, and it's neither too long nor too difficult, making it enjoyable for players unfamiliar with the genre.
