Epistory - Typing Chronicles

fke

I don't usually leave game reviews but Epistory is one of my favourite games of all time! The graphics and design are beautiful, and the gameplay is just fantastic... the puzzles and typing challenges are so much fun and even now I've finished the main storyline I still regularly play on the arena mode! It's made my typing speed much faster and also expanded my vocabulary while also being super fun.

like the discovery, world fold out like origami

For the TLDR first 3 chapters are mostly challenging but fun, then they didn't seem to finish working on their UI and environmental effects. The wind level activates words in layers you aren't even playing on so you can't attack enemies in front of you. They used white letters on a white cloud background so you can't see who you are supposed to focus on as well as being set at the back of the screen with 360 approach from the creatures. The purple windmill off to the left keeps trying to activate even though it is on another level below. The directional controls are diagonal and very delayed. You will get caught on every asset in the environment trying to move. The art style looks very neat, but it is so damned hard to navigate even at the beginning of the game and it will point you in a corner and not let you turn around because it centers you too close. Story rich is an exaggeration as well. There is occasional narration that often gets very whiny and uses a lot of rescue tropes.

Relaxing but challenging. Great graphics. Helps if you know touch typing.

Serene, typing, graphics cute.
