SOUTH PARK THE STICK OF TRUTH is a turn-based role-playing game where the player's custom character joins Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny in an epic fantasy battle for control of a magical stick, all set within the show's familiar small-town backdrop. Combat mixes classic RPG systems with the show's absurd humor.

Its faithful recreation of South Park's tone alongside solid RPG mechanics appeals strongly to fans of the show and turn-based RPGs.
