One way to boost your strength in battle is by collecting and equipping artifacts, which are items that can give your team an edge. Roughly four hours into The Fractured But Whole, for example, you’ll encounter a surprisingly tough foe and have to knock out minions, complete your turn within a certain time period, and avoid certain areas on the board to escape blows that kill with a single hit. The Fractured But Whole also incorporates different battle types that can make defeating enemies more difficult as the game progresses. It’s a nice upshift that adds nuance to combat, though you wouldn’t mistake it for the depth of a tactical RPG like Fire Emblem. Like its predecessor, The Fractured But Whole uses a turn-based battle system, but you now move your character on an isometric grid to attack, with where you are on the board determining what you can do and to whom.
The good news is that its creators have at least partly rectified the The Stick of Truth‘s simplistic fighting sequences. While much of the game involves scouting the town of South Park for items and characters to complete missions, the heart of the game is its battle system. The bigger following you have on Coonstagram, the more influence you hold in South Park, which boosts your hero rank and makes you a more formidable opponent in battle. Like The Stick of Truth, you’ll start by choosing a profession and picking a class, including types like Speedster, which gives you an arsenal of fast-paced abilities, Brutalist, a close-ranged powerhouse brawler, or Blaster, which can deal fire damage.Īs the new kid in town, your first objective is to prove that you’re worthy of joining Coon & Friends by completing a few simple missions and gaining followers on the Instagram-inspired fictional social network Coonstagram. But instead of pretending to be wizards and elves as in the last game, everyone’s roleplaying superheroes, including Kyle as The Human Kite, Craig as Super Craig, and you as your superhero alter ego. Remember The Coon, the Batman-esque racoon-themed superhero South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone created for season 13? He’s back, once more played by Cartman, who has to assemble a squad of do-gooders. But the irreverent roleplaying game, out October 17 for PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One, counterpunches with amusing side missions, engaging battles and a steady barrage of take-no-prisoners quips. Interactive South Park is no different: There are moments in studio Ubisoft San Francisco’s South Park: The Fractured But Whole guaranteed to make you cringe. Anyone who’s watched South Park during its 20 years on the air knows it entertains by harmonizing offensive characters, shocker storylines and waggish writing.
