80 Days

Top Pro

Does not need internet connection to be played

80 Days does not need the device it is being played on to be connected to the internet to be played, which makes for a good game during air travel as well as other places where one does not have an internet connection. See More

Top Con

Single playthrough is short

Lasting about 2 hours a single playthrough is pretty short, though with all the branching story triggers there is plenty of reason to play over and over again. See More

Specs

Genre:Gamebook / RPG

Co-Op:None

Controller Support:No

Top Pro

Uncovered routes stay uncovered on next replay

Once completing a playthrough the routes that were uncovered will stay uncovered for the next playthrough, thus helping the player chart better courses the more they play the game. See More

Top Con

Unintuitive user interface

The inventory system in the game can be hard to understand at first and it can be difficult to control the scrolling of text in some areas. See More

Top Pro

Branching story that will take multiple playthroughs to experience it all

The way the game plays out there are many story options that will be triggered due to previous choices in the game. Being that it branches out like this it will take many playthroughs to experience all of the stories options. See More

Top Pro

Very replayable

With the vast swath of options in 80 Days players will be hard pressed to replay the same scenarios more than once. See More

Top Pro

Supports portrait and landscape play

80 Days allows for the user to play in portrait or landscape, making for a good game across tablets and phones. See More

Top Pro

Heavily focused on reading

Pretty much a visual novel, 80 Days should interest anyone who enjoys reading and makes for a great introduction to the visual novel genre due to it being spearheaded by a big name in text adventure fiction, Jon Ingold. See More

Top Pro

Stylish design based on Jules Verne

With the Steampunk motif and the way that the game transitions, users can see that a lot of style and imagination was used in the creation of the game. Being that it is based off of Jules Verne's novel "Around the World in 80 Days", fans of the author should find a lot to like here and those new to the author should be able to find something they like being that it is an established classic.

Awesome storyline

Best storyline ever written. See More

PersistentNamtar's Experience

Honestly the best I played yet. The storyline is perfect, we get to share a bond with the characters and it relies more on your smart choices than luck. There is no "hidden choice, for you can understand the consequences of each choice quite easily if you are attentive while reading. Again; my favorite. I don't think I'll play it again soon, but it still is in my cellphone since this summer. And I think It'll stay here anyway, for it is too good. Get it, you won't be disappointed, really. See More
