About this game
South Park: The Fractured but Whole casts you as the New Kid joining Coon and Friends, Cartman's would-be superhero franchise. Explore the town for loot and abilities, then take those powers into turn-based battles on a hazard-filled grid. Positioning and the choice of powers form part of each encounter. The story opens access to more superhero archetypes, and powers from different classes can be combined to shape your hero. Equipment crafting adds another way to prepare for battle. The New Kid's fart powers are also practical tools: they can pause or reverse time while exploring, or make an enemy skip a turn in combat. Superhero customization and bodily humor are therefore woven into the game's actual systems.
Collected in series
South Park’s games adapt the animated show’s abrasive comedy through platforming, role-playing and cooperative action. Familiar faces and ridiculous situations connect adventures whose combat and pacing can be very different.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A fit for players who want superhero tinkering and tactical turns wrapped in South Park's bodily humor.
Combining class powers should make building the New Kid a more personal tactical exercise, while the hazard grid gives those choices a spatial context. The fart-based abilities mean enjoyment also depends on welcoming that humor into both exploration and combat.
Strengths
- Mixed class powers offer room to experiment with a hero's abilities.
- Exploration and combat both give the New Kid's unusual powers practical uses.
Who it is for: Players interested in turn-based positioning and superhero customization who also enjoy bodily comedy.
Play notes: Danger Deck and From Dusk Till Casa Bonita are separate add-ons, rather than assumed base-game content.
