It’s not for everyone, but if you liked Castle Crashers or Battleblock you’ll understand this on a comedic level. It’s definitely funny, especially to those who dig The Behemoth’s sense of humor. Pit People isn’t totally sure what it wants to be. Blending the Ebaumsworld-style art of the 2000s-era internet with a Redditor’s sense of humor, it’s the kind of game that both references and creates its own memes.īut although the humor is there, as an early access game Pit People feels unfinished - not just in the fact that it’s literally incomplete, but that its ideas don’t fully mesh into a cohesive game. Its aesthetic sensibilities, however, will be easily recognizable to fans of those previous games. The fourth game from The Behemoth, developer of Alien Homonid, Castle Crashers and Battleblock Theater, Pit People differs from its predecessors in that it’s a turn-based strategy game. The bear loves nothing more than chaos, and frequently messes with the decent people left on the ground, stomping on their children and giving space shuttles to their enemies. Deadly green bear blood still rains from the heavens in regular intervals. A giant evil space bear has crashed into the earth, with apocalyptic but weirdly hilarious results. Pit People is the kind of game where a flying giraffe swoops down into the middle of a gladiator pit to drop a dude with two machine guns into the fray. ‘Pit People’ might be worth jumping into early for the laughs, if not the gameplay.
