Pit People is the silliest game coming for Microsoft’s platforms

Pit People is not going to win Microsoft the console wars. It’s not going to get more gamers on the PC. But it just might be silly enough to attract a small smattering of fans who like this sort of thing.

I saw a preview of developer The Behemoth’s Pit People for the Xbox One and Windows 10 at Microsoft’s spring Xbox showcase. It is a turn-based strategy role-playing game narrated by an obnoxious fellow with an exaggerated, nasal British accent. It was so bad that I couldn’t believe anyone would actually make this game. Then I remembered that this kind of thing really turns on some gamers, and it has the potential to be a real hit among these folks. It’s so silly that people might want to play it, in a Monty Python sort of way.
