Crafting System
During The Stick of Truth’s battles, players were able to use items to heal their party, recover MP, and deal out negative status effects on enemies. It was the kind of stuff that we’ve seen time and time again in RPGs, but the only way you were able to get your hands on them was through exploring the world and simply finding them.
The Fractured But Whole brings the South Park kids’ RPG adventure to the modern day, adding in a crafting system that we only got a brief glimpse of in our time with the game. After collecting all manner of gross and disgusting items, we then combined them to create a vile drink to knock out the DJ and progress the story. However, it looks like we’ll be able to use the very same items and other minor bits and pieces dotted around the world to craft things that can be used in battle to either buff our own characters, or nerf our enemies. Exactly how comprehensive this crafting system is remains to be seen, but it’s a notable improvement over its predecessor nonetheless.
