Description and Comments
Kingdom of
Loathing is a free online RPG loaded with wit and
sarcasm instead of amazing graphics (as can be
seen by the lack of colorful screenshots this
week). In fact, most of the graphics that you see
will be of the stick figure variety. This actually
adds to the humor of the game. KoL is
played directly through your browser, so you can be
playing in just seconds after signing up and then
logging in.
Before you even
create your character you will see plenty of
satire because the game's story and character
creature feature are on the same page where you
sign up at. KoL's storyline pokes fun at generic
storylines with such lines as "One fateful
Porktober morning, a Sorceress came to the
Kingdom. A Naughty Sorceress. A Naughty Sorceress
who was clearly up to no good, and even more
clearly up to plenty of bad." The satire
continues with character creation as normal RPG
classes are injected with a heavy dose of humor.
For example, a Necromancer is called a Pastamancer
and a Warrior is known as a Seal Clubber. Even
being able to chat requires you to go to the
"Altar of Literacy". Along
with Hobo Wars, Kingdom of Loathing is one of the
funniest and wackiest free online games that you
will ever play.
Features
- No download.
- Hilarious
character choices such as Seal Clubber, Turtle
Tamer, Pastamancer, Sauceror, Disco Bandit,

stats stay on the left side of the browser.
- Easy-to-use
maps guide you through the various attractions
of the game like Mt. Noob, The Dungeon Full Of
Dungeons, The Meatsmith, and The Bugbear
Bakery.
- Each level
gives you a silly title like Puffin
Intimidator.

Comment: Amazing game that I highly recommend.
I've been playing for about 1 and a half years and
have no complaints. Plus, new content is being added
constantly. There is a lot to explore and the text
in battles are hilarious...Especially the Final
Ultimate Epic Final Conflict.

culture.
