With much to explore and so many ways of storming the castle’s inhabitants, Unepic is a fun and well-designed challenge for those who enjoy platformers and yon hefty olde RPG feel. Its tight and rewarding core makes it a quest that can be enjoyed along with, or even in spite of, its cheekier sense of humour.

Unepic is a solid game that holds up very well throughout. It offers up a stiff challenge, while maintaining a sound sense of humour, and will go down especially well with those of us that remember (or still play) all-night Dungeons & Dragons sessions.

It can be quite frustratingly difficult at times, and the constant geeky references to everything from Star Wars to the worlds of Gary Gygax may not sit well with everyone – one particular misfiring side quest involving bureaucrats may be enough to turn off some gamers – but for those who enjoy old school platform action, this generously sized Spanish-crafted effort will be manna from heaven.

Unepic is a perfectly serviceable platform-RPG, but Unremarkable might have been a more apposite title.

Saw it released on the Wii-U and picked it up. I’m putting a lot more time into the Wii-U version. I find the inventory on the gamepad easier to work with, especially when shifting between weapons.

Unepic is about as far from actually being, erm, unepic as you can possibly imagine. Having released here in the UK only a few short days ago,Unepic is about as far from actually being, erm, unepic as you can possibly imagine. Having released here in the UK only a few short days ago, I perhaps unsurprisingly couldn’t find much in the way of reliable reviews through the usual channels, but having been genuinely intrigued by it’s backstory and eShop trailer, I decided to take a punt on Unepic anyway. And long story short, I’m absolutely thrilled that I did, because this game is really rather special.
I’ll endeavour to leave more detailed impressions once I’ve finished the game, and experienced at least two of it’s three different endings. In the meantime however, I just wanted to write a line or two for those still on the fence as whether to grab this one or not. Well, as you might have guessed, my advice on the matter is overwhelmingly straightforward — if you’re a fan of 2D metroidvania-style games, platformers, RPG’s, adventures, exploration, or just plain old addictive gameplay, then this ones a no-brainer, and you should jump right into Unepic with confidence. Yep, this one is an absolute belter!
Hope this helps!… Expand

Unepic is a funny, unrelenting homage to classic adventure games and RPGs despite some holdover shortcomings.

Originally a PC release, the Wii U is a fine platform for Unepic, and it’s another worthwhile addition to the eShop library. It can be quite frustratingly difficult at times, and the constant geeky references to everything from Star Wars to the worlds of Gary Gygax may not sit well with everyone – one particular misfiring side quest involving bureaucrats may be enough to turn off some gamers – but for those who enjoy old school platform action, this generously sized Spanish-crafted effort will be manna from heaven.

Unepic probably won’t be for everyone with its Metroidvania style and death prone areas, but once you get stuck in, it is an enjoyable experience. The skill system is simple but complex enough for those who like RPG’s and the boss battles are memorable and exciting to witness. The castle itself is huge and there is plenty to see, so for the price there is a hefty amount of content. The requirements for the challenge related achievements is peculiar, but the completionists among us will forgive the developers as we roam through every nook and cranny, lighting up every torch and lamp that we see. There are so many indie titles that are available now and it’s tough to shine above the rest when you’re a 2D sidescroller like Unepic, but it is a worthy title in the [email protected] library and is a great throwback to those games of old.

In the end, Unepic would probably be a better adventure game. This twenty hour or so unabashedly old school RPG is frequently broken up by conversations between characters and these interactions are amusing enough to make the often finicky platforming and combat sections worth persevering with. As a whole, the game has enough charm to recommend to fans of the genre, and those that stick around will likely be impressed by the surprisingly deep RPG mechanics and the Metroidvania approach to level design. However, it’s hard not to wonder if the quality of the writing on display here would be better served in a game with a stronger focus on storytelling.

Unepic is a liar. There — I said it. Why is it a liar? Well, look at the name — the game implies that it\’s \»unepic,\» but in actuality, this is one of the most epic quests seen on the Wii U eShop. The name actually helps set the tone because, while the gameplay is for the hardcore gamer, the game manages to lighten the tone with excellent and funny dialogue.

If you threw a party and invited all of the adventure/roleplaying games along, Unepic would be the one in the center of the room blurting out jokes, laughing too loudly and making sarcastic comments about all of the other guests.

The Wii U browser by Nintendo has been repeatedly recognized as one of the most user-friendly of all gaming systems, and many console owners have actively used it to consume video content on the big screen. Unfortunately, with the discontinuation of Wii U, it stopped being updated and began to gradually lose its capabilities. nine0003
So, this week the owners of the set-top box lost the ability to view videos from YouTube — the video platform site no longer supports the Wii U browser. As for the official YouTube app for Wii U, it has long since stopped working.
You can still watch videos from other resources in the Wii U browser — directly or by switching the user agent in the settings. But not every page works correctly.
The Wii U was discontinued in early 2017. nine0023 Interestingly, after that, the cost of sealed consoles skyrocketed .

Best Wii U games — Gambling
It’s been three years since the Wii U was released to the market, and for that
time has accumulated a solid library of games for this console. Nintendo projects
differ in that the main thing in them is not fancy graphics, but polished gameplay
and design.
No matter how many Mario games come out, each of them is strong
different from all others. Yes, and not only Mario, because there is also Link and Zelda, there are
beautiful Samus Aran, and for some time now a scattering of new heroes, now too
strongly associated with Nintendo consoles. nine0003
And to help sort out all these projects, we
Here are ten of the best Wii U games out there.
Series Dynasty Warriors and its offshoots are famous
with its unsurpassed dynamism: there are dozens on the screen at the same time,
if not hundreds of enemies, which the heroes scatter around with spectacular
super tricks.
Hyrule Warriors crossbreeds inherent series rabid
gameplay with the world and characters from cycle The Legend of Zelda . Research
colorful locations and crush crowds of enemies on behalf of any of the two
over dozens of characters from a wide variety of Zelda issues, which will please everyone
series connoisseurs.
The green dinosaur Yoshi from Mario games has long been
the hero of his own series of platformers. And he’s never looked like this before.
cute, like in this game. In Yoshi’s Woolly World and the hero, and the enemies, and the environment
— everything without exception is made of woolen threads, and this feature fascinates
from the first seconds. nine0003
Yoshi’s Woolly World is a great 2D platform game,
which is interesting to pass both alone and with a partner. And if you’re looking for a game,
which you can play with your child, be sure to pay attention to it.
Have you ever dreamed of creating your own level and
showcase your talent to the world? Or, for example, arrange for friends
test — will they be able to pass the ingenious sequence you have developed
obstacles? nine0003
Super Mario Maker will let you do it with more
convenience: the interface here is very simple and intuitive. Moreover, Super Mario
Maker is not just a constructor, but also a library from a potentially infinite
the number of stages created by other players. And local folk art
often as impressive as the work of masters from Nintendo itself.
In the days of the SNES, the Donkey Kong Country trilogy claimed the laurels of the best line of two-dimensional platform games. Gone in the past
three generations of consoles until Retro Studios resurrected the series on the Wii in
brilliant Donkey Kong Country Returns , after which she took up
development of the Wii U sequel. Tropical Freeze is a complex and
incredibly beautiful platformer for true connoisseurs of the genre.
Unlike the already mentioned platform games Super Mario 3D
World is a 3D game. This allowed the developers to create even more
bizarre stages and introduce the most curious mechanics into the game. How do you, for example,
the level at which the flag symbolizing the finish constantly runs away from the heroes?
Or a stage where you see only shadows, silhouettes of your characters? nine0003
Super Mario 3D World is worth playing for more fun
four of us — like a real party game.
One of the most exciting and colorful arcade races,
able to surprise with an unusual design of tracks. The local cars wanted to sneeze
gravity and roam around the Möbius loops while the riders throw themselves at each other
bananas, bombs and shells picked up along the way. Large selection of characters and
tracks and flawless multiplayer — both offline and online — make Mario
Kart 8 is an excellent choice for those who do not expect racing games
realism, but just wants to have fun.
Big JRPGs have been going wrong lately
a lot, and Xenoblade Chronicles X is not just an exception to this rule,
and the real record holder in terms of scale. In it you will
explore the whole planet — on foot or riding a robot — fight with
representatives of bizarre fauna and complete hundreds of various assignments.
Xenoblade Chronicles X is incredibly rich in content and can captivate more
than a hundred hours. But she is remembered primarily for her unusual and very
beautiful world. nine0003
Nintendo has never been known for multiplayer shooters, so
released this year Splatoon surprised everyone. Two teams of octopuses are trying
paint as much of the arena as possible with your own color. Rollers are on the way
water pistols and almost sniper rifles, the key to success is often
competent tactics and well-coordinated teamwork, and the intensity of passions in matches is no less,
than in any Call of Duty. No wonder Splatoon has already started collecting rewards
for the best multiplayer of the year and became the best shooter of the year according to The Game
Awards! nine0003
Continuation of an incredibly dynamic slasher from the masters of the genre
from Platinum Games. An elegant-looking witch deals with angels and demons,
skillfully weaving melee and ranged attacks into spectacular combinations, slowing
time and deal with opponents with the help of absolutely incredible super moves.
The combat system in Bayonetta is both deep and intuitive, and
the madness happening on the screen does not stop for a second, throwing
heroine either to heaven or to the depths of hell. nine0003
Whatever one may say, action games from Platinum Games can be compared
only other action games from Platinum Games. And Bayonetta 2 is the best choice for
genre lover. However, unlike the multi-platform first part, the second
released exclusively for Wii U.
Super Smash Bros . one of the most popular and
atypical series of fighting games. In it, to defeat the enemy, you need not reset him
health bar, and thrown out of the arena — the damage received is only
increases the chances of elimination. Up to eight fighters participate in the match, constantly
something happens, and when all kinds of items and helper heroes are used,
keeping track of everything becomes difficult. nine0003
But that’s the beauty of Smash Bros. — everyone here
the match is unpredictable and unique. Learning to play it is as easy as shelling pears: no need
memorize techniques, everything is very simple and clear. But at the same time the depth in the game
enough to make it a real esports discipline: Nintendo
regularly holds Super Smash Bros. championships in Moscow. for Wii U.
This part of the cycle, by the way, boasts a record
the number of characters from a variety of Nintendo games and not only: Mario and Pikachu
here they can enter the same arena against Sonic the Hedgehog and Ryu from Street Fighter.
