❤ Customizable Crew

Players can recruit a diverse array of over 100 unique units, ranging from human fighters to fantastical creatures like penguins, cupcakes, and robots. Each unit type has its own distinct abilities, strengths, and weaknesses, allowing players to experiment with various team compositions and synergies. Equipping characters with an extensive selection of weapons and armor further enhances their capabilities, providing an additional layer of strategic depth.

❤ Tactical Turn-Based Combat

The turn-based combat system emphasizes positioning and timing over complex mechanics. On their turn, players position their 6-unit crew on the hex-based grid, taking advantage of terrain, line of sight, and unit abilities to outmaneuver and defeat opponents. Units automatically attack enemies within range, keeping the battles moving at a brisk pace while still allowing for tactical decision-making. The streamlined approach makes the combat accessible, yet the various unit types and equipment options create ample opportunities for deeper strategic play.

❤ Capturing Recruits

One of the game's most unique features is the ability to capture enemy units and add them to the player's team. By defeating the last remaining enemy in a battle, players can throw a "recruit cage" at them, converting the vanquished foe into a new ally. This system encourages players to carefully consider their targeting priorities, as they may want to leave a particular enemy alive to expand their roster.

❤ Exploration and Progression

Outside of combat, players can explore the expansive open world, accepting a variety of side quests and encountering random encounters. These optional activities provide opportunities to acquire new equipment, unlock additional character classes, and expand the player's roster of recruitable units. The sense of exploration and discovery is further enhanced by the game's whimsical and humorous tone, with each quest and encounter offering a unique and entertaining narrative twist.

❤ Cooperative and Competitive Play

Pit People supports both local and online cooperative play, allowing friends to tackle the campaign together. The co-op mode doubles the team size, leading to more complex and challenging battles. The game also features a dedicated PvP mode, called "The Pit," where players can compete against each other in team-based arena battles, adding an additional layer of replayability.
