This toilet-seat themed comedy just went retro.
By this point, you may or may not be familiar with The Benza, a comedy that depicts the victories and struggles that main characters Chris and Kyle face as ex-pats living in Japan (granted, their experience isn’t exactly the norm).
Well, this award-winning webseries has now been made into a playable retro RPG form that you can download for free — no in-app purchases at all!
▼ Here’s a trailer for the game, which gives you just enough sneak peeks to make you want more.
The game features the scenic views of the characters’ Tokyo neighborhood of Higashi-Nakano, such as the inside of a Japanese school. There are a ton of playable characters, and over 250 lines recorded by the cast!
Without giving away anything, the aim of the game is to save Higashi-Nakano, which has been put under a curse by the evil Inko-Sensei that turned everyone into an RPG. Oh, and one of the main characters was kidnapped.
▼ In true retro RPG style, there are NPCs, treasures, and more to enjoy in each scene.
And, of course, there’s the quintessential part of any good RPG: the battles. There’s a slew of regular monsters and enemies that tie back into the series, where you’ll get a chance to gain experience points and level up.
▼ And then there are the bosses, like the sinister Inko-Sensei.
Since this retro RPG is based off a comedy webseries, there are also a ton of subtle and not-so-subtle jokes scattered throughout the characters’ dialogue. The quest is a serious one, but you’ll have plenty of laughs along the way.
▼ Some of the more suggestive lines are probably what gives the game a 12+ rating in the Apple store.
Whether or not you’ve seen The Benza or its spin-off, Benza English, we bet you’ll be entertained by this free RPG’s characters, dialogue, storyline, and scenes.
It’s only available on the Apple store right now , but it’s coming to the Google Play store soon!
