South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Trey Parker and Matt Stone return with a sequel to the critically acclaimed South Park: The Stick of Truth. This time, the theme is superheroes, and South Park: The Fractured But Whole takes no prisoners. The game hilariously satirizes the DC vs. Marvel rivalry, delivering a parody akin to Marvel’s Civil War.
A Return to South Park
The familiar map of South Park from The Stick of Truth makes a comeback, now with even more areas to explore. Utilize your character’s incredible fart powers in combination with the antics of South Park regulars to access new locations, including rooftops. Be on the lookout for loot hidden in unconventional places.
New Superhero Theme
So you saved the day in The Stick of Truth? Big deal—it’s time for a new challenge. Cartman and the gang are now focused on creating the ultimate superhero franchise. South Park: The Fractured But Whole features twelve superhero-themed classes, such as the Speedster, Cyborg, and Karate Kid. The game’s true highlight is the player character’s farts, powerful enough to tear apart the fabric of time itself. The superhero theme extends to character customization, with a variety of costume elements available for creating your superhero persona.
Improved Gameplay
The Fractured But Whole significantly enhances the systems introduced in The Stick of Truth. The revamped combat system now takes place on a grid, allowing for tactical movement and positioning. The twelve distinct classes each fulfill classic roles like healers or tanks, adding depth to the combat without becoming overly complex.
The Show’s Creators Still in Control
Trey Parker and Matt Stone closely collaborated with Ubisoft, contributing voices, writing, and essential feedback. As a result, South Park: The Fractured But Whole remains true to the show’s distinctive style and atmosphere. The game features a larger and more diverse cast of characters and locations from the series, making it feel like a superhero-themed extra-long episode of South Park.
