Ratings and reviews

It is possible, and likely, that you will team wipe and get hard locked out of your save. No ability to resurrect, no ability to move to town, no ability to do _literally_ anything except stare at the gravestones. [edit] A little digging reveals this to be a game breaking bug. Still terrible, but not a game design problem but a failure in the programming. Still locked out of the save, so still low ratings.

An unexpected (but very welcome) sequel to Knights of Pen and Paper 2. It's much easier to get more party members and professions, and additional classes are no longer hidden behind a paywall which is great. The issue is with leveling up skills and getting equipment. Skills can only be leveled up by books that rarely drop from enemies, by luck as a level up reward, or by buying stuff. You'll have level 12 characters with at most level 4 skills. No prob early on, but you feel the effects fast.

The game is good, but outside the animation upgrade. It feels like the combat just isn't there. Classes don't really feel strong and noticed some classes share abilities, which kind of makes no sense and partly loses the unique state of each class. The targeting for enemies feel so off and just wrong sometimes. Enemy combat, specifically when farming XP, shouldn't have such a high crit chance for zero reason. Other fights and you barely crit but the enemy gets a crit every other hit.
