In place of traditional steel swords and shields, characters will use weapons such as wooden swords, golf clubs, and spatulas. Timed inputs will be used to block, counter, or inflict stronger damage on foes. The combat is a turn-based system similar to that of Costume Quest and the Paper Mario series. The inspiration for the combat is based off the South Park episode "Good Times With Weapons" (Season 8, Episode 1). Combat is supposed to resemble children play-fighting where something like a flaming tennis ball, in the mind of the child, is an actual spell. ClassesĪs the player joins the LARP session, the New Kid is given the following character classes to choose from:Īccording to lead designer Matt MacLean, the combat alternates between the New Kid and his/her companions, giving the player an opportunity to control the available South Park characters. The game received numerous delays, partly due to the bankruptcy of the game's original publisher, THQ. In classic South Park fashion, things soon begin to horribly devolve into madness that threatens the entire town. Taking place in the fictional town of South Park, players control "the new kid" (a customizable silent protagonist, quickly nicknamed "Douchebag") as he attempts to make new friends and take part in an epic fantasy LARP session between the humans of Kupa Keep (led by Grand Wizard King Eric Cartman) and the Drow Elves of Larnion (led by Elf King Kyle Broflovski) as they fight over the "Stick of Truth", a magical relic granting unbelievable power.
Part of the South Park franchise (based on the animated TV series of the same name), the game combines a simplistic (yet deep) RPG system (from veteran RPG developer Obsidian) with an art and animation style directly reminiscent of the show (in similar vein to South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play and South Park: Tenorman's Revenge). South Park: The Stick of Truth is a role-playing game developed by Obsidian (with help from South Park Digital) and published by Ubisoft for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on March 4, 2014.
