Epistory - Typing Chronicles

Epistory - Typing Chronicles is a simple game based around the idea of well.. typing. It's basically a type the word to fight game, where when you complete the word on the enemy, it gets strike. You have 4 elemental powers to play with to fend off waves of enemies at certain locations which can be considered the challanging part. You have a bit of exploration, unlocking chests and getting some fragments. You have some very light progression system where you can get upgrades for your character. Overall in the 6 hours runtime I had fun, the first 3 hours were like 8s and 9s because of the fun gameplay loop. Problem is towards the 5 hour mark you already notice a lot of the game flaws. My biggest gripe is the story is kind of scattered brain? like I couldn't follow any of it. And then there's also the fact that some powers are more useless than others and how the elemental triggers only if there's another word adding for the challange but confusing sometimes. Worse is for the lightning weapon you get you can't really judge the distance between the enemies so you end up guessing "is this going to hit the other gigantic word". Overall I think you will have a good fun and this is why …

Fun game, nice story

Great typing game!

Love this game! beat it once before. i dont usually play games again... i LOVE ARENA!!

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.

This game was, and still is, a little difficult. However, as my typing gets better, I literally feel like a wizard. It's so unbelieably fun. Also, the ESDF mod made the controls much easier for me. I'm still pretty early in the game, and I am really looking forward to when my skill actually gets good.l
