Slant community chat on DiscourseCon Same words used on different enemies at the same time
This is an issue, as one enemy may be closer than the other and it can be a mixed bag as to which one will be hit with the attack when two enemies have the same target word. This leads to frustration and death due to the game not allowing for a way to target a specific enemy when the same word is...
Pro Great for a laptop
Due to the unique controls, there is no need for a mouse to play this game, which means it will be a bit easier to play on a laptop as no external mouse is needed nor the use of the touch-pad. This is a keyboard only game, and that lends itself well to laptops.
Con Progression is simple and formulaic
The basic premise of the game is, start a stage, earn a new power, clear out the dungeons on that stage that require that power. This is done for each stage, of which there are four. It can get pretty repetitive and become boring pretty quickly.
Epistory - Typing Chronicles is an action adventure game in the same vein as Bastion, but with the twist of using typing as a combat mechanic. As enemies get close to the character the player can press the space-bar to enter typing mode to then defeat enemies through typing the word above their heads as fast as they can. Interaction with elements in each level is also done through typing.
Con Poor graphics
Originally released for the Dreamcast, this game does show its age. While this is a port of the Wii version,simply the graphics look poor. Textures and models look pretty poor, though that does mean the game is not that demanding, so is good for people with low end hardware.
Pro Actually requires some strategy
While words per minute type counts for a lot in the game, the player does need to keep track of what mutants are moving faster towards them and plan out attacks accordingly. This means that the player needs to access the situation to then type out the word or words for the mutant they deam the most
