Serenity Forge has brought the emotional rollercoaster of The Lisa Trilogy to Android with the release of Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful. If you've experienced these games on PC, you're familiar with the intense journey they offer. For newcomers or those yet to explore these titles, here's a quick dive into what awaits you.
It’s Painful and Joyful at the Same Time
The Lisa series began with Lisa: The First in 2012, a retro-style exploration game that plunges players into the psyche of Lisa Armstrong. You navigate a distorted reality shaped by trauma, piecing together fragmented memories, encountering odd characters, and uncovering the past through VHS tapes. It's a surreal experience that subtly plays with your mind.
Following the initial release, Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful hit PC in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Now, fans can enjoy the Definitive Editions of these games on Android, following updates to the PC versions in July 2023.
You Can Play The Lisa Trilogy on Android
In Lisa: The Painful, you step into the shoes of Brad Armstrong, navigating the desolate wasteland of Olathe in search of his adopted daughter, Buddy. The game blends brutality and humor, with your choices having lasting impacts—losing limbs, sacrificing party members, or taking hits for others.
Lisa: The Joyful concludes the trilogy, where you play as Buddy in a darker, post-White Flash Olathe, a world where she's the only woman left. Struggling to survive and seeking vengeance while concealing her identity, you'll face even tougher decisions that can drastically alter your journey.
The Definitive Editions enhance the experience with updated battle systems, six new Warlord skills, new border art, a music player, and a 'painless' mode for a more accessible playthrough.
If you're ready to dive into a game that's dark, bizarre, yet profoundly crafted, don't miss out on Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful of The Lisa Trilogy on Android.
