  • Summary: Unepic is a combination of platforming and role playing games. There are many hilarious references throughout the game. The game takes place in Harnakon, a huge medieval castle.

    It is set in the hardcore NES Style, yet refined with the latest features. This makes Unepic a very unique game.

    Among surreal situations and a strong quotations, Unepic is distinguished by the fact of being a game that does not take itself too seriously.

    A fresh and lovely product, which mixes RPG and humor.

    UnEpic delivers an unoriginal but well written story, packed with some funny lines; a solid action platform gameplay, full of back tracking and respawn; and some hardcore RPG elements. The end result is a game that hardly lends itself to interpretations: you either love it or hate it.

    With over twenty hours of content and a paltry $8 price tag, Unepic is worth experiencing, even if to re-explore a childhood fantasy.

    Don't let the name fool you: Unepic is huge, but whether players will want to see the quest to its ends is another matter. [Apr 2012, p.66]

    Unepic is a game that is vaguely reminiscent of Castlevania. Instead of putting out the lights with a whip though, you are trying to lightUnepic is a game that is vaguely reminiscent of Castlevania. Instead of putting out the lights with a whip though, you are trying to light each one in each room (and no whip is involved). The game is a 2D platformer wherein you work yourself through a maze of rooms fighting enemies, earning XP and picking up objects. After working yourself through a particular part of the map and fighting a boss you'll find the key to a new part of the map with new rooms to explore and new enemies to fight. The game has a strong RPG element in it, which is the thing that ties the whole game together and makes it so addictive. When you earn enough XP you get to distribute points in a number of skills. When the game begins you start with a number of weapon skills (which determine the level of the weapon you can wield), a skill that determines your hit points, a skill that determines the level of potions you can brew, and a skill that determines the level of armor you can wear. Later in the game, after completing certain quests, you learn the ability to cast certain spells (e.g. you learn the skill to cast fire spells). The spells are powerful but require ingredients which are found by defeating certain enemies. The story is intentionally cliche and is told with a good helping of humor through the eyes of the protagonist (a Dungeons & Dragons player who is whisked away to the evil castle the game is set in). It is also full of references to games and movies which are littered throughout the dialog. All in all a great, very addictive game which I can definitely recommend. Expand

Its one of the best games I've played in a long time. lots of character and clearly the creator enjoyed creating it. the rpg elements feel well balanced. the 2d room discovery reminds me of jet set willy 2 for some reason. why the media reviews is only 60 something I don't know. I bought it based on user reviews here and wasn't disappointed. Expand

    Grandioso juego. Buenos ratos he pasado. Para los que no han probado el rol es una buena toma de contacto y perderle el miedo a menús, tiradasGrandioso juego. Buenos ratos he pasado. Para los que no han probado el rol es una buena toma de contacto y perderle el miedo a menús, tiradas y estadísticas. En mi opinión la crítica está muy equivocada.

    Vale cada céntimo que pagué por él.

    Yo no soy mucho de multijugador pero en este le pego unas horas de vez en cuando. Larga vida con los mods y los aportes de la comunidad.

    Challenging on any mode but easy. Feels fresh and nostalgic, but lacks refinement. It's like.. 90% done. I've only played an hour or so,Challenging on any mode but easy. Feels fresh and nostalgic, but lacks refinement. It's like.. 90% done. I've only played an hour or so, but had to restart because "Normal" is as hard as an old NES game. In a second or two you can be dead and have to restart from a few minutes back. Easy is breezy and more fun to me. I like the game. It's worth $8 Expand

    Overhyped and boring game. There are many references to the "geekdom", but a reference is not funny or intellectual just because it refers toOverhyped and boring game. There are many references to the "geekdom", but a reference is not funny or intellectual just because it refers to something, especially if it doesn't contain any context. "Hey look I am Darth Vader and you will call me your Grand Marshal, because I am from Planet Doom and command the Space Marines of Halo!" If you believe this sentence was funny, this game is for you. If not, don't even bother with the boring style of this UnGame.

    1: I never understood what they were trying to do. Don't waste your time playing.
