Easily the best typing game atm
Epistory is kind of like a hack-n-slash rpg in a lush and beautiful world, except you don't hack at enemies to kill them, but instead type the words that appear above their heads. The enemies are all kinds of weird monsters. Some incredibly fast, but with short 3-letter words like 'fox', some slow and lumbering but with longer words (and/or simply more words above their head), and some even qualifying as boss enemies with a very long word above their heads. Like any rpg you have special attacks, which in Epistory are elemental attacks discovered during the game. For example if you type the word above a monster's head with your lightening power enabled, then a word above an adjacent monster's head gets zapped. It can be incredibly satisfying to avoid typing 'photosynthesis' by typing 'hand' at the right time with your lightening power! The killing of enemies in general is extremely satisfying, with very well done animations and sound effects. Like any rpg there is also experience earned towards upgrading your various powers, like having lightening zap more than just once, or to upgrade your character's running speed. Epistory has an adaptive difficulty which adjusts itself according to your ingame performance. Though unlike Typing of the Dead, and as hinted at above, it's not just about typing speed: a good strategical mind will make the game massively easier if you use your elemental powers wisely. And in some cases those powers are absolutely necessary to prevent you from getting swamped. Expect the game to keep you busy a few days to finish. It's a bit too repetitive to finish in one sitting, but the novelty of it all will keep luring you back for more until you've finished the game. There's even a story of some sort, but I don't really understand it at all :P And if nothing else, it's a remarkable fun way to give your typing speed a small boost. Perhaps you'll even do some online exercises to boost your arena scores :)
