Knights of Pen and Paper 2 is a cute but ultimately dull role-playing adventure

I’ve never paticipated in a serious game of Dungeons & Dragons. The handful of campaigns I played with my college roommates involved a lot of drinking, backstabbing, and other in-game scenes too graphic to write about here. During one memorable moment, someone in my group (playing as a madman) murdered dozens of helpless half-human, half-spider orphans we found in a cave.

So I can relate to some of the bickering between the characters in Knights of Pen and Paper 2 (out now on PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android). Developed by Kyy Games, Knights of Pen and Paper 2 is a humorous turn-based role-playing game that parodies both tabletop RPGs like D&D and console RPGs from the ’80s and ‘90s.
