Pit People

2018The BehemothPC (Microsoft Windows), Xbox One

In the fast-paced, turn-based, co-op adventure you'll quest and explore, find awesome loot, customize your fighters, and recruit strange species. Rally your troops and steel your wits if you hope to survive a hostile world filled with sinister robots, deadly vampires and brutally adorable cupcake people!

What it feels like

Brutally adorable cupcake people and meme-forward comedic tone invite mischievous experimentation. Comedy and whimsy prevent the strategy from becoming grim; the game never asks to be taken too seriously.
