Pit People Critic Reviews

A simple game, but amazingly funny and fun to play alone or with a friend. If you enjoy RPGs and a good laugh you need to be playing Pit People!

It's a wild, creative, occasionally erratic game. Pit People is imperfect, but it's so worth your time.

Pit People is a great strategy game with a chaotic and funny turn based combat, a great art style, an amazing hilarious story and an addictive multiplayer.

Pit People is one of those games that I enjoyed despite being terrible at the genre. While the game can be simple compared to other games in the genre, the combination of the easy to pick up gameplay and the graphics and humor that The Behemoth is known for makes this a game worth checking out regardless of whether you’ve played other tactical RPGs or if this is your first one. Plus, who doesn’t want to hear a giant space bear taunt you throughout the game?

A delightfully absurd, genuinely funny tactical game that offers a lot of content, looks and sounds great and is an absolute blast to play in co-op.

Titles such as Battleblock Theater have illustrated that The Behemoth can tackle new genres and still deliver a great game and Pit People is no exception.

​A very fun and foolish tactical game. We played it with a lot of pleasure even if it too simple compared to other tactical games. Another marvelous video game from The Behemoth.​

Wonderfully weird and eccentric, this is another great example of a The Behemoth Game, if only one we wish was twice as complex.

If you like The Behemoth, you know what to expect. It's their own take on the genre: fun, crazy and it doesn't take anything too seriously. And that's what makes it good.

Pit People is a game full of madness on the side of the story and the characters, but does not offer anything really innovative in terms of playful structure and pure gameplay.

Pit People is absolutely solid, provided you can forgive its simple nature. The auto battling system does enough to get people in, while the ability to capture all sorts of enemies satisfies the veteran looking for some more depth. There's a ton of content here, and all of it is fun to explore, but the lack of an online community means that your army curation is only going to be useful against CPU opponents. In the end, Pit People is certainly a game worth checking out.

The catchy song that plays over Pit People’s ending credits (and has been stuck in my head for the last several days) proclaims: And it all makes sense now! That might be overstating things, since its tactical battles never played out the way I expected due to each character having a mind of their own when it comes to what to actually attack or heal. But pit People’s weird world has a special, quirky way of being amusing no matter what you’re doing. I enjoyed it mostly in small doses, as the bright colors, twisted sense of humor, and goofy, energetic soundtrack can get to be a little much sometimes.

Pit People is an average turn-based tactical game with outstanding visuals and humor, especially entertaining when playing with others.

Pit People's irreverent appeal isn't enough to make it stand alongside the greats, but it's entertaining and mildly engrossing.

The developers present Pit People as a ‘turn-based adventure‘. But even this classification does not explain away all the problems of this game.

The fights can be plenty challenging, especially if you venture online or into the openly-described-as-unfair gladiator arena mode, but I was never able to shake the sensation that they’re just a delivery vehicle for a really great cartoon.
