If you were hoping for a laid-back, relaxing, and happy weekend, I've got bad news for you. The surprise mobile release of the critically acclaimed games Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful just before the weekend might be too tempting to ignore. Prepare to dive deep into a harrowing yet engaging RPG experience that will hit you right in the heart.
Set in the post-apocalyptic world of Olathe, you'll follow Brad Armstrong on his emotional journey to reunite with his adoptive daughter, Buddy. The series is known for presenting players with dismal moral choices that challenge your ethics and engage your emotions. While the concept of a soul-crushingly depressing RPG might seem off-putting, the Lisa series balances this with enjoyable gameplay and a compelling story that's not for the faint of heart.
In terms of gameplay, Lisa isn't as confrontational as its narrative. You'll experience a straightforward turn-based RPG where you recruit a squad of companions to join you in battles against various foes. However, be warned: your companions are not as durable as you, and certain instant kill moves or events can permanently remove them from your roster. The mobile versions, part of the Definitive Edition collection, come with new mechanics, crisp HD visuals, and other enhancements to enrich your experience.
If you're looking to expand your RPG palate and perhaps want something a bit softer after tasting the turn-based battles of Lisa, check out our list of the top 25 best RPGs for iOS and Android, all in one place.
