Lisa (video game)

Lisa is a post-apocalyptic role-playing video game developed and published by Dingaling Productions. The game was written, designed, and composed for by Austin Jorgensen, and was released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux on 15 December 2014.

In Lisa, the player controls Brad Armstrong, a middle-aged man with a drug addiction who must journey through the fictional wasteland of Olathe in search of his adoptive daughter, Buddy. Along the way he is forced to make choices that permanently effect both his own well-being and that of his party members.

The game received mostly positive reviews, with praise for its writing and soundtrack, but criticism for its unforgiving difficulty and pacing, and a lack of technical polish. Reviewers especially enjoyed the game's emotional story and use of dark humor.

Gameplay

Lisa features a combination of traditional turn-based RPG combat in a 2D side-scrolling overworld. Players control Brad (and his accompanying party) as he struggles to overcome his addiction, suffering from withdrawal that limits his effectiveness in battle. The overworld features an assortment of settlements with shops and bars, where recruitable party members can often be found.

Bass Armstrong (バース・アームストロング, Bāsu Āmusutorongu) is a retired professional wrestler and Tina's overprotective father. He is also the widower of Alicia Armstrong, who died of a disease when Tina was only six years old. He disapproves of Tina's aspirations of wanting to be a model (DOA2), a Hollywood actress (DOA3) and a rock star (DOA4). Consequently, he enters the DOA tournaments to put an end to her fame-seeking, only to fail at each attempt. In the fourth tournament, it is revealed that he intends to win so he would have enough money to enter the "Hyper Battle Grand Prix", which he then loses after seeing Tina's picture on a billboard and crashes into it after losing control of his bike. Like Tina in the English versions of the game, he, too, speaks with a Southern accent.
