If you feel like trying out a different kind of role-playing game, Shakes and Fidget is a witty adventure with funny characters and a nice sense of humor.

Funny role-playing game for Android

It's impossible to play Shakes and Fidget and not see Monkey Island influences everywhere. Playa Games has created this role-playing game where humor is the main focus. It uses a comic book aesthetic and a very cool setting for all of us who are tired of the same old RPGs.

Create your own hero

Before you start playing, you need to create your character the way you want it. So you must first choose a class, warrior or wizard, and your hero's appearance and name. After that, you're ready to embark on an adventure that's all about strategy and waiting.

That's right, because in this game you won't actively fight as such. Your work will consist of equipping your character with the best weapons, armor and saddles, working out the best strategy and collecting quests in the tavern. The thing is, the missions take care of themselves. Choose a quest, wait the specified time and, if successful, collect your reward and invest it wisely. You will not move freely on the screen either, because the game system is in a menu where you have to choose your objective:

• tavern
• battle arena
• gun shop
• magic shop
• stables
• dungeons
• forts

In order to get into the dungeons and strongholds, you need keys, which you pick up along the way. There you will meet powerful opponents who will drop you tasty prizes. Meanwhile, you can join a guild with other users and compete against other players in PvP battles. And all this with beautiful comic-style graphics. It's an interesting and very risky gamble, as the waiting time between quests can put some players off.
