Saves you a refund- Players who want real-time combat may hit a wall when battles proceed turn by turn.

- Players seeking a story-focused RPG may prefer a game centered on narrative rather than party and encounter management.
Our take on Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Edition
The likely sticking point is the battle setup: players must decide which fights to take and how many monsters to face. Those who want encounters set entirely by the game may bounce when asked to fill the game-master role.
What is Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Edition?
This turn-based, pixel-art RPG frames its adventure as a tabletop session: players manage both their characters and the game master.
Choose character classes and player personas, build a party, explore a fantasy world, and take on quests and monsters while pursuing a dark mage. The game master can select battles and set the number of monsters, with rewards tied to the encounters. Party progression includes leveling up, gold, items, and equipment, alongside blacksmithing, enchanting, mining, and gathering. The +1 Edition adds dungeons with traps, treasures, monsters, and bosses, a tavern for storing heroes and swapping party members, and additional character options for battles. It also includes an extended campaign.
