It&#8217;s pretty fun, and easy to get into. It has the comedy of a Penny Arcade comic, and the look of one, too. The graphics are not impressive, but they work. They&#8217;re very similar to the Sam and Max games, if anyone has played them.<\/p>\n<p>The gameplay is very easy to understand. The exploring portion is point-and-click, while the battle screens work by selecting your attack and then the enemy to attack. Sounds simple, but it&#8217;s real-time. You have to manage up to 4 characters at once (maybe more?), while the enemy is also attacking you. It can get pretty hectic, but it wasn&#8217;t bad.<\/p>\n<p>I would recommend downloading the demo to anybody, and buying the game if you like it, since it&#8217;s only $20 and available for Mac, Windows, and Linux, as well as on the Xbox Live Marketplace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I downloaded and played through the demo of Penny Arcade&#8216;s new game, On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode 1.
