Epistory – Typing Chronicles: Video Review Games

In the middle of the last century, the profession of typist was, as you understand, very in demand. And in order to be, so to speak, even the qualifications championships were conducted by the World Cups on Materials, where they won those who are faster and without errors to gain the specified text (about it removed the wonderful French film “Love on the fingertips”). Today the place of the printed machine was taken by computer keyboards, and instead of the World Championships, games in the genre of Typing Game are being developed, and some are also seriously testing (and improving) fast print skills. But, as a rule, all of them are unspoken, simple on mechanics and appearance and strictly profile;exception so far was except THE TYPING OF THE DEAD, where we killed zombies, quickly gaining words. EPISTORY – TYPING CHRONICLES – quite another thing.In addition to the mountains, forests and dungeons, our heroin will have to visit abandoned cities and factories.
Hello, I’m your muse!

In the ranks of the Belgian Studio Fishing Cactus Many veterans of the industry work, by whose shoulders work on Ubisoft, SEGA And Disney. Naturally, starting EPISTORY – TYPING CHRONICLES, They were not going to confine themselves to the usual quick-printing simulator disguised as a video game. And invented a really interesting concept.

First, the mechanics itself is the cultic The Legend of Zelda. We play for a girl who riding a fox travel through the forests, fields, mountains, caves and dollars. She explores the world, opens up new locations, looking for secrets and treasure chests, fights with different aggressive insects, solves the riddles, studying the magic of four elements and saves experience glasses to become stronger, faster and gain access to the places closed earlier – in general,Classical Role Adventure for Verified Recipes.

Secondly, all this is cemented by an unusual plot, atmosphere and stylistics. The girl on the Lisera is a muse of some writer who writes whether the story, or the story of the salvation of the Magic World. She, the writer, herself tells this story as we visit key places. And new locations: all these forests, caves and mountains – grow right in our eyes from paper, as crafts-origam9.

Between the lines…

As it should be, all the words spoken by the storytellor remain on local paper fields and rivers. They add up in truly literary (writer how-no!) Suggestions and phrases: “The sky, like ink, filled with clouds”, “in the tomb was very beautiful – the dignity coming from sadness” and so on. But periodically among all this voices from the real, not a book world are breaking, and other words arise in the fields: “What happens? Why don’t you answer? I tried so hard here, and now, it seems to me, he trample me … “Found a chest – exactly the winner!
As a result, the fairy tale and reality go side by side, we learn something new about the writer itself and we understand that the key events in the game (that is, in the story) are the allegory of important stages of her life: studies, moving to the city, personal relationship. For example, the water temple here symbolizes the years of college training. All this simultaneously resembles something Bastion (there was also a storyteller too), and Braid, Where a fabulous story about salvation princess has also become just a reason to talk about life, marrying, middle-aged crisis, alcoholism ..

Paroles, Paroles ..

main feature EPISTORY – TYPING CHRONICLES, that is, in fact, fast printing, also implemented interesting and unusual. When you fight, ring torches, activate the levers to open the doors and solve some kind of riddle when you remove various barriers on the way and open the chests – all these actions are carried out precisely by set of letters on the keyboard. What exactly – indicated above each subject / enemy. But words can belong to different elements, and you still need to switch between the types of magic (fire, ice, land, air), dialing again the corresponding words-keys. Accordingly, in some locations you will simply do not fall until you study the necessary magic.

Words are logical and thematic, and there are not very – some, apparently, are generated randomly. When you hack some kind of mine in the mine to get an additional experience, and you dial “Hydroslut” or when you write a series “Anion / Tesla / Network” to activate the switch, is everything clear. But when the aggressive fly flies on you or crawls the fat caterpillar and the combinations of letters “Baul / Member / Shame” or “Yiddish / Khol / Litter” are proudly elevated above; – here, you see, it becomes a little funny. Or a lot.

Pistol fingers

However, in key battles you will not be laughter. “While playing, all my fingers did and broke the keyboard!”- this is just about EPISTORY – TYPING CHRONICLES. Important fights are arranged as survival in the arena, where you need to stand up against the waves of enemies. They attack from all sides at the same time, and you need to print the right words as possible to kill the worship, because our heroine dies from one touch of any opponent.Some puzzles do not require anything to dial on the keyboard.
Enemies often belong to different elements. That is, for example, to shoot magic and kill an ice fly, you will have to first score the word “ice”, and then as soon as possible to print any next “bucket / plush / eater”. Then fire caterpillars come from left to the left, and you have to quickly print “fire”, moving to another magic.

From all sides, evil flies with j or w will fall over them, and you have to switch to English layout and back. Well, when after all this, fat “bosses” are crazy with other creatures, and it seems to be angry with such words as “Daugavpils”, “sedimentation”, “deactivity” or even “Hydropruster”, – already beginsReal hysterics ..

In general, recruit and survive in EPISTORY – TYPING CHRONICLES Not easy even professionals (for example, journalists). But when you survive in such “printed wars”, I want to blow on your colored fingers, like on the “Beretta”, of which you have just fluffed in all directions, and squeeze out satisfied: “I did it!”

On the other hand, the game uses the adaptive system of complexity, that is, adjusts to the level of the user, carefully calculating its statistics – the number of words typed, speed, number of errors, and so on. That is, if you wish, you can pass it all – and at the same time and learn quickly and without errors to print on the keyboard.Despite the “paper” stylist, the game looks great. And the design is even better!***
In any case, despite the “Hydropoestrusher” and waste fingers, EPISTORY – TYPING CHRONICLES Tightens with head. This is no case a quick print simulator is a truly stylish and fascinating action-Advenchura, in which everything is interesting: to explore the world, study magic, look for some secret places and chests, fight, solve puzzles (sometimes very original), collectscraps of bonus pictures, save experience, “pump” the heroine, follow the plot. And find out words about the existence of which you did not even suspect. Single wish: Do not play in EPISTORY – TYPING CHRONICLES After some text on the keyboard gained all day!
