Pros:
Hunting down and capturing characters is a great hook, As with all games by The Behemoth, it looks excellent, Battles get more interesting and intense once you've built a good team
Cons:
Permadeath mode goes too far, Online play is underpopulated at launch, The simple combat system means that the game probably won't keep you coming back past a certain point

The catchy song that plays over Pit People's ending credits (and has been stuck in my head for the last several days) proclaims: “And it all makes sense now!” That might be overstating things, since its tactical battles never played out the way I...

Pit People segna il ritorno sulla scena dei ragazzi di The Behemoth, studio americano che molti di voi conosceranno per titoli come Castle Crashers e Battleblock Theater. È piacevole notare come l'inconfondibile stile grafico cartoonesco e il folle...

Pit People macht keinen Hehl daraus, dass es vor allem eines sein will: lustig. Und das schafft es wirklich meisterhaft. Ich finde es großartig, wie absurd alles ist, angefangen bei den albernen Rüstungen und Klassen bis hin zum fantastisch vertonten...
