Penny Arcade: On the Rainslick Precipice of Darkness, ep. I

So, for those of you who are fans of Penny Arcade, and also for those of you who are not, the first Penny Arcade video game has been released on Xbox Live Arcade, Windows, Mac and Linux (and demos are available for all, AFAIK). The game, called On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode I, is a comic-style 3D/2D Adventure RPG. It takes place in a 1920-esque town, replete with nasty enemies (most Fruit Fuckers and hobos to begin with).

The game itself is in 3D, with fights running akin to Final Fantasy combat... except with the required d20 roll for initiative. Weapons vary greatly, with your character beginning his adventure armed only with his trusty rake. Of course, the FF robots have attacks such as leg-humping and "juicing" on your pantleg. The humor is pretty wild, the graphics interesting and not over-done. Cutscenes take place via animated comic strips (each cell of the strip animates for a bit, then goes to the next cell for further animation). I HIGHLY recommend the game to anyone looking for something a bit different. Of course, I recommend XBLA if you have it... you know, 200 Gamer Score plus support of XBLA. But that's just me.

Anyone else play the game yet?


I give it a 8.5/10. After I finish the game, I may change my score, but I doubt it'll go down.

IIRC, there are no voices. All dialog balloons except the narration.

I got to see it last year at PAX 07.

I love watching games come to life. I really wish I had the patience to aquire the skills to design/code games, though i'd probably be a straight up retro gamer based in the fallout era.

Oh good, that gives it an even more authentic feel then. I never realised how much the Penny Arcade brand had grown over the years.

Yeah, I'm voting Tycho and Gabe in '08. Or Mike and Jerry I guess...
