The fantasy realm of Paperos is in trouble, and only your tabletop gaming group can save it! In the cheeky meta sequel Knights of Pen and Paper 3, youâll explore the kingdom, fight monsters in turn-based battles and quibble over rules with the bespectacled gamemaster. Time to party up!
What we love: The fourth-wall-smashing humour. While clashing with a group of Minions, you might hear the players note that these foes are just different enough from some well-known animated ones to sidestep copyright issues. Or maybe youâll face a gang of goblins who are eager to fight because theyâre just a few XP shy of levelling up. Every character in the game knows theyâre in a game!
Quick tip: The rogueâs backstab skill might slay a monster in a single blow if you roll a critical hit. Use the Hide in Shadows ability to boost your crit chance, then attack an enemy who comes later than you in the initiative queue to get a 50 per cent damage boost.
Meet the creator: The founders of Finnish indie studio Kyy Games met as kids, bonding over Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering. More than 30 years later, theyâre still crafting fantasy adventures together â and even take shared breaks at work to play games.
