The game's approach to humor is scattershot, and your mileage will vary greatly as oddball references and jokes are thrown out at a rapid pace. You'll also have the bear that killed your son narrate your adventures and put you down at every opportunity. You'll fight against helmeted warriors that possess their own space shuttle and a group of fish-men that drive around the ocean in classic cars. In the first hour alone, you'll share spirits with an ax-wielding cyclops and have a sentient cupcake heal you with his frosting.

You spend your time recruiting other misfits to band together and seek vengeance.Ĭompared to the rest of the developer's games, what you'll find in Pit People is just plain weird. As the humble blueberry farmer Horatio, you're trying to defend your family from a band of cannibals when your son and your house get crushed by another giant bear. In Pit People, a once-peaceful planet has collided with a giant space bear, and that instantly transforms the joyous land into one of turmoil and despair. In Steam Early Access for over a year, Pit People marks the company's fourth release and its ambition to bring its distinct outlook to every possible genre shows no signs of slowing down. The developer also doesn't seem afraid to tackle any genre, from the run-and-gun shooting of Alien Hominid to the platforming of Battleblock Theater and the hack-and-slash brawling style of Castle Crashers.

Those same games don't take themselves seriously and happen to have expertly crafted gameplay experiences, both solo and with friends. The Behemoth has made a name for itself by offering up games with a colorful but somewhat crude art style that seems deeply rooted in Adobe Flash.
