Galaxy of Pen & Paper is a role-playing video game developed by Behold Studios and published by Plug In Digital and Paradox Interactive. It is a follow-up to Knights of Pen & Paper.
Players control a group of friends who are playing a tabletop science fiction role-playing game. The stories and friends make many pop culture references to science fiction franchises and authors. The in-game characters can perform side quests, fight turn-based battles against enemies, and engage in ship battles. It mixes retro pixel art and 3D graphics. [1]

On Metacritic, Galaxy of Pen & Paper received mixed reviews for Windows and positive reviews for iOS. [5] RPGamer said the turn-based combat is nothing special, but they enjoyed the spaceship combat. [1] RPGFan said it has charming moments but is a missed opportunity because players never learn anything about the in-game friends who are playing the game. [6] Pocket Gamer enjoyed the humor, pop culture references, and gameplay. They called it "brilliant, entertaining, wonderfully balanced". [7] Gamezebo said it was not as good as Knights of Pen & Paper' but was still fun. Though they encountered some bugs, they felt the humor was fresher than the fantasy-based Knights. [8]
