DeathSpank

Lots of humour

DeathSpank is a comedic Diablo-style action RPG from Ron Gilbert in which a clueless self-styled hero takes on absurd quests. Its irreverent humor and cartoon look are the main draw.

Overlord II

Lots of humour

You play an evil Overlord commanding a horde of unruly Minions that smash enemies, loot the land and solve environmental puzzles. Dark humor and the joy of being the villain define the experience as you tear down a glorious empire.

Driftmoon

Fantasy setting

Driftmoon is a classic top-down fantasy RPG with straightforward mechanics, plenty of dialogue and a lighthearted story, built around exploration and side quests.

Fable

Lots of humour

A fairy-tale action RPG where your good or evil deeds shape your hero's looks, skills and reputation from boyhood to old age. The world of Albion reacts to your actions with dry British humor.

Healer's Quest

Bright, upbeat tone

A comedic fantasy RPG where you play the support healer of a chaotic group of heroes, keeping them alive rather than fighting yourself. Its parody of RPG tropes is the main draw.

Zenith

Lots of humour

A comedic action RPG that spoofs classic fantasy adventure tropes like ruin exploring and world saving. Its story is told plainly and directly rather than left cryptic and scattered.

Fable: The Journey

Strong, story-driven narrative

You revisit Albion as a compact Kinect adventure where you wield magic as a weapon and ride through dangerous chases alongside Theresa. Set 50 years after Fable III, it blends its story with plenty of humor.
