Epistory: Typing Chronicles Reviews

Professional reviews from gaming critics

Whilst it may be a little difficult for some players – especially those that aren’t used to typing much – for those who are willing to get to grips with its mechanics, the content that has been produced is nothing short of exceptional. A dash away from sheer perfection in my eyes. With i’s delicate and intricate design, flawless dynamics, interesting story and a completely unique title on the market, Epistory: Typing Chronicles is worth every second of play time.

Epistory - Typing Chronicles seriously surprised me. This game takes elements from other games and puts them together in fantastic ways. I was constantly impressed with what the game threw at me, and it left me wanting more when I was done.

It takes about six hours to get through the campaign, but it’s engaging throughout. Each dungeon adds a new twist to the exploration, and each new piece of typing magic increases the complexity of the combat. The base mechanic may conjure up thoughts of Mavis Beacon, but so much has been built onto that foundation, making Epistory – Typing Chronicles so much greater than just a typing game.

Whether it actually improves your typing I'm not sure, but it gives you statistics on your speed and so on, which you can compare before and after I guess. I'd not see the game that way at all, though, and instead recognise it as a novel (fnarr) way to play a cute, gentle third-person action RPG.
