Lisa: Painful and Joyful Surprise Release on Android

If you were hoping for a laid-back, relaxing, and happy weekend, I've got some news for you. The surprise release of the critically acclaimed RPG series, Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful, now available on Android, is anything but a gentle experience. Set in the post-apocalyptic world of Olathe, you'll be immersed in a harrowing journey with Brad Armstrong as he seeks to reunite with his adoptive daughter, Buddy. Brace yourself for a series of morally challenging choices that will test your resolve and tug at your heartstrings.

While the premise of a soul-crushing RPG might sound daunting, the Lisa series masterfully blends engaging gameplay with a thought-provoking narrative. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you're up for an emotionally charged adventure, this could be the game you've been searching for.

In terms of gameplay, Lisa isn't as confrontational as its story might suggest. You'll navigate a classic turn-based RPG system, assembling a squad of companions to face off against various foes. However, be warned: your companions are vulnerable to instant kill moves and other events that can permanently remove them from your roster, adding a layer of tension to every battle.

The mobile versions of these games are part of the Definitive Edition collection, boasting new mechanics, crisp HD visuals, and other enhancements that elevate the experience.
