Game
The Stick of Truth features a turn-based combat system that is really cool to play with. Previous South Park games included racing and first person shooter play styles that did the job for their games, but the RPG style in The Stick of Truth fits the series perfectly.
While the combat is turn-based, the player is still very involved when attacking and blocking. This can help keep the interest of those who aren’t too interested in the style of play, as you will carefully calculate your shots as they land on enemies. This also applies to blocking, as the time button is usually required to minimize damage. It also helps that many bouts are definitely in line with standard South Park humor. As with typical RPG, combat can also be improved by using items, finding better weapons and armor, and experimenting with different character classes.
Personalization
When you start the game, you will be prompted to create your South Park baby. Character customization is surprisingly detailed as it allows you to choose from a variety of options such as facial hair, accessories, clothing, as well as smaller things like blemishes and facial features.
Character aesthetics aren’t as important to the game as character classes are. Of the four available classes that you are asked to choose from at the start, each offers enough game variety that players may want to try them all in subsequent games. Each class has unique abilities that come in handy for different battles and enemy types.
