Impressively, Parker and Stone have even worked their humour into these battles, with the characters in each fight throwing witty one liners at each other.Īn example of this is seen when you fight the Catholic priests trying to get into your pants. Players can also use their turn to heal wounded team mates to keep them in the mix. The turn-based combat takes place in a grid, which has to be navigated to inflict or avoid damage.
In terms of fighting, The Fractured But Whole is based off an all-new dynamic combat system offering opportunities to manipulate time and space on the battlefield.
The title has been designed to play like an episode of South Park and the way the gameplay and cut scenes blend seamlessly together really help to achieve this goal - there were moments where the video had finished and I didn’t realise I was back in control. From this point on, chaos ensues.įrom the minute you choose your skin colour to decide the difficulty of the game - white is the easiest, black is the hardest - you understand the game is layered with jokes stretching beyond traditional humour. You play the role of “the new kid” who is given a super hero origin story by The Coon (Cartman’s alter-ego).įirst tasked with finding Cartman’s cat, you soon discover a plot to raise crime in South Park from a stripper named Classi. Picking up just one day after 2014’s South Park: The Stick of Truth, the sequel ditches swords and spells to see the foul-mouthed fourth graders taking on the super hero genre. Just like with the long-running cartoon, Trey Parker and Matt Stone were responsible for writing, voicing and directing the game, which plays like a feature length South Park movie. This is just one of the many offensive and highly topical jokes explored in the new video game South Park: The Fractured But Whole. My selection had no impact because the hilarious cutscene with Mr Mackey and subsequent battle with a truck full of rednecks was pre-planned to happen regardless of my choice. I HAD to pick my gender and the options were cisgender, transgender or gender-neutral.
