[h2] 被迫观看了一场盛大的嗲子文学 [/h2] 坚持玩到结局只是为了写这个差评,毫不意外在最后看到了一坨大粪 [h3]玩法[/h3] 一进游戏开头动画长得像2005年的画面,bug离奇地多,开了中文字幕却无法显示,我居然在靠英语听力勉强理解剧情(当然这个游戏配音挺好的,语速和语调感觉可以开英文字幕作为学习材料 [b] 总体上,不管是美术还是打字、解谜甚至剧情都不及前作纸境奇缘。 [/b](虽然我忘了纸境奇缘的剧情是什么了 作为续作的魔境奇缘从纸境奇缘的冰、火、电、风四元素魔法变成了推、拉、治疗、火、冰、电、毒、水魔法,看似丰富了技能实际只显得冗余,不及前作四元素技能逐步解锁显得简洁清晰,视觉上抛弃了前作折纸风格的独特美术使得美术也变得平庸。 但也不是全无优点,魔境奇缘整体玩下来最舒适的是RPG内容,女主在魔法成长上给玩家的成就感非常强,从一开始面对怪物举步维艰,有的甚至要靠全程潜行,到后来全屏乱杀一招制敌,RPG的升级满足感部分做得很好。然而由于打怪通过打字输出,在打字竞技上也不如纸境奇缘,魔境奇缘中绝大多数精英战boss战都不是遭遇战,而是生存战,不必全体消灭敌人而是坚持一定秒数就可以通关,这就使得女主甚至可以通过跑图逃课,打字成就感不高。 但作为一个打字游戏,它拥有着非常垃圾的打字词汇库,有谁能在2025年细看这些词汇:[u] 禁止套娃、阿伟死了(游戏里甚缩写AWSL)、我爱罗(显然翻译者夹带私货)、网抑云、单身狗 [/u]…… 这就是为什么很反感在翻译作品中看见网络梗,当翻译者无脑使用网络梗偷懒时会使作品寿命变得很短,显然这个游戏就是如此,这些词汇已经不适合被现在的玩家看到了。 [h3]剧情 [/h3] [b][list] [*]摄像头女主 [*]全程男伙伴男旁白(狐狸是男的而且是男反派的男儿 [*]全体npc都在莫名其妙心疼男反派 [*]嗲男文学 [/list] 想莫名其妙生一场气的可以来玩这个游戏。👊 [/b] 大致剧情梗概:男反派因为不信魔法只信科学把他有卓越魔法天赋的男儿害死了,并在此过程中造成了三个地区的人民大量伤亡,为了救他男儿到森林骗白女王修黑魔法偷森林核心、偷洞窟守卫蛇的血导致世界感染,但男儿依然死了(因为森林的魔力成了灵魂形态的狐狸),同样有卓越魔法天赋的女主就在治疗世界的过程中阻止仍在走火入魔的男反派,最后也不是靠女主打败的反派,而是狐狸话疗他爹成功最后一起死了。(一种如鲠在喉的感觉 [b]女主塑造 [/b]:约等于没有。全程只起到一个作为档案管理员收集图鉴的作用,虽然npc会夸她拥有很强的魔法能力,但传送魔法只和狐狸绑定,和狐狸分开之后就无法使用传送魔法,但前文明明已经写过传送魔法是白女王送给女主的能力…… 女性关系上,提及和女主有关系的仅有两位——养母兼老师和生母,养母只在大结局之前出现了一下说了句so proud of you,其它时候全程消失。生母是和男反派决裂带着女儿出走的大魔法师,依旧全程神隐,女主是孤儿,npc甚至说女主的母亲不是好人但很勇敢,可惜后来也完全没有提及,仅活在两三句台词中的母亲。 [b]男狐狸和男反派 [/b]:一开始听到狐狸是男性配音的时候已经有不好的预感,但开头剧情是帮助被男反派迫害的白女王并净化她治理的森林王国给我骗进去玩了这个游戏。 然而越玩越不理解这个世界的每个人为什么都在心疼狗屎男反派。 白女王被女主救了之后:“我不怪他骗我学黑魔法,他也很可怜,男儿死了。” 白女王的臣民:????? 男反派治理的太阳城被父子俩搞出的大灾难破坏成了一座沙漠死城,然后沙漠中的没得种田没有家园连喝水都困难的普通人发言:“男反派超厉害!即使是女主的母亲也不得不承认他在科学上的造诣!那场毁灭国家的大灾难不是他的错!他怎么知道他男儿有那么强的魔法天赋!我不怪他也不怪他的男儿,因为他们也失去了家人!所有人都是受害者!” ?????????? 感觉为了心疼男反派已经一点道理都不讲了,沙漠里立着一堆因为这对父子而死亡的人民的墓碑,然后没有一个被他所害的npc责怪他。 最后也没有女主直接对抗男反派的剧情,最终boss战就是女主一边听男狐狸话疗他爹一边命苦地打一堆小怪,我玩到这个游戏也觉得自己很命苦。
Overall - A short typing game to waste some time on, but be prepared for bugs and an underwhelming story and characters. 3/10 Art style - Like a storybook, simply animated but strong in character. Gametime - Took about 5-6 hours to beat the game Storyline - A very simple story of a dying son and his father wanting to save him at all costs, that made it seem like a fairytale in nature when hearing it, but ultimately becomes the main focus. I was unable to really get into the story as it felt bland and lacking of character of any kind, the very basic voice acting reinforced that feeling and it did not mix well with how they progressed the story. Gameplay - It's a typing game, all of your attacks are dictated by words that you type, some themed to the creature that it's tailored to, but nevertheless just a typing game. It became very repetitive quickly as the words repeated many times, the ability to mix and match spells was interesting but I found that half of them were relatively useless or I just never knew how to use them properly. There's hardly any guide or tutorials in this regard which made it frustrating. Overall though it was very clunky gameplay, your character has to effectively stop moving while you type and it becomes a bit boring after some time. The main part where you are discovering plants and animals is neat, but underwhelming as these are all fictional creatures and wild life. Remembering any of it has no meaning and serves no purpose. Bugs / Issues - Frankly this is where I almost quit the game once or twice. From a UI standpoint there is no mini-map that is displayed default on your screen, you have to hold down the tab button or hit ESC to pause the game and see a larger version of the map. Binds do not save. The default movement keys are esdf instead of wasd, and you have to change it every time you start the game up. I faced multiple game breaking bugs including the mini map appearing and getting stuck on my screen which blocked half of the view. There were many areas that you could easily get stuck on and your character can't move. They literally had a respawn button stating to go back to a checkpoint in the case your character gets stuck, which I had to use often. A couple of time a mini-boss got stuck in the air and I had to reset the encounter and one time the monsters were given 2x speed out of nowhere. Frankly the game felt unfinished and it's bug ridden to a point where it can be very frustrating if you encounter them multiple times in a short period of time.
I love how easy the game is to play. I am not much of a fast typist, so I do like that I am able to take my time on certain words that come up during the game that need to be typed out. The game is easy to pick up and very addicting. I love the fact that I am able to play a game but also able to practice my typing skills on top of that. For anyone who is looking at honing their typing skills, or looking for something for your kids/grandkids to practice their typing, I highly recommend this game.
I can hardly wait for VIM Tale I heard it's very difficult to quit it.
Seems like a good game from what I have seen so far. However, its definitely buggy. I have found very regularly if you have dialogue with a character, it will not let you go to the next text box or close the text. Every single time it happens i have to reset my character and respawn. I avoided talking to any characters due to that but some arent avoidable as their text pops up on the screen when you walk up to them.
душная игра категории Б, с багами, которые уже никто не починят, но можно залипнуть на пару вечерков. моя первая игра на скорость печати, но к 4 часу надоело. скучный эксплоринг и мир, топорное управление и нудный флоу самой игры - как реклама тех самых тупых мобильных игр. сомневаюсь что я допройду эту игру. по очень большой скидке может быть приемлемой
AudHD Needed something that keeps me engaged, is pretty and has a story to pull me in. This one does a good job of it Albeit, if there is a map zoom feature, I haven't figured it out yet. Getting lost is mildly easy.
it's good for speed typing
In the third zone (the desert), I encountered a game breaking bug, and cannot finish the game. This bug has been encountered by several people (found threads in 2023 mentioning it) but not fixed for now. More details on this thread : https://steamcommunity.com/app/944920/discussions/2/576047170584653262/)
I don't know how this game was made around 5 years after the first game, Epistory. It's worse in a lot of ways. The art direction is not as interesting, the pacing is off, the levels are annoying to navigate, it performs poorly (e.g. cutscene volume is not synced with what is happening on screen), voice acting is mid, and I'm pretty sure I encountered a bug or glitch that stopped me from progressing at all. It's not without merit. I enjoy the elemental interactions in the areas, and having to type out a couple words to get a journal entry about a plant is cool, but overall this game is one step forward and two steps back. I didn't enjoy my time with it at all.
