Kingdom of Loathing (KoL) is a satirical browser game created by Asymmetric Publications (Zack "Jick" Johnson and Josh "Mr. Skullhead" Nite). It is notable for the usage of simple hand-drawn stick figure graphics and surreal gameplay.
The game is an RPG, where users fight monsters for experience (stats), for meat (which is the currency), and for items. This is done through a turn-based system, where users get at least 40 "adventures", or turns, a day. The number of adventures can be greatly increased by food and booze, as well as certain items.
Gameplay and features
The object of the game is to defeat the Naughty Sorceress and free King Ralph XI, who has been "imprismed" by her (imprisoned in a prism). Gameplay involves adventuring through the kingdom while encountering vampires, knob goblins, bats, snowmen, chefs, gravy fairies, and other such beasts, collecting various items, and accumulating meat, which is the in-game currency. The game is humorous by nature, and all quests and battles generally include at least one or two jokes. More on [ Kingdom of Loathing ]
