If you were hoping for a laid-back, relaxing, and happy weekend, I've got some bad news for you. The release of two critically acclaimed games, Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful, in a surprise drop on mobile platforms might just be the perfect antidote to your calm plans. These games are not for the faint-hearted; they promise to deliver a direct hit to your emotions.

Now available on Android, the Lisa series invites you into the post-apocalyptic world of Olathe. Here, you'll navigate the harrowing journey of Brad Armstrong as he seeks to reunite with his adoptive daughter, Buddy. The series is renowned for blending engaging gameplay with a deeply challenging moral narrative, pushing players to make tough choices with even tougher consequences.

While the premise of a soul-crushingly depressing RPG might seem daunting, the Lisa series has earned its acclaim by offering a genuinely enjoyable gaming experience wrapped in a compelling story. It's not for everyone, but for those willing to dive in, it could be the intense experience you've been seeking.

In terms of gameplay, Lisa isn't as confrontational as its narrative might suggest. It follows the familiar format of a turn-based RPG where you assemble a squad of companions to battle various foes. However, be warned: your companions are fragile, and certain enemy moves or events can lead to permanent losses from your team.

The mobile versions are part of the Definitive Edition collection, boasting new mechanics, crisp HD visuals, and other enhancements that enrich the overall experience.
