    Game play is fun if you enjoy Castlevania (or Rogue Legacy) type of game play. RPG elements for leveling fit very well into the game and the humor is feels very witty without bludgeoning you with the punchline (i.e. not American humor, more British/Monty Python).

    There's a few references to pop culture elements that made me roll my eyes, but overall this game is fun and it's easy to pick up, run for a little bit then put down. The game/levels feel bigger than most AAA game levels.

    Well written, well designed, well balanced. If you like Dungeons and Dragons, this game is one you'll want for the library.    … Expand

    I got this upon its Steam release, and considering the low price, have certainly gotten my money's worth. The gameplay brings me back to the Symphony of the Night days of Castlevania, though I wound up playing with the keyboard only, as there are so many weapons, spells, potions, and even pets that you will want to hotkey, a controller just isn't up to the task.

The gameplay brings me back to the Symphony of the Night days of Castlevania, though I wound up playing with the keyboard only, as there are so many weapons, spells, potions, and even pets that you will want to hotkey, a controller just isn't up to the task. Really not up to the task, as the game simply would not let me hotkey items on controller buttons. Not a huge issue, and as I said, the keyboard works better for this anwyay.
    I'm playing on medium difficulty, and if I die, it's either because I've done something like fall off a platform, or was in some way not paying attention. It's simple enough to be relaxing to play, yet offering choices in weaponry and magic that let you decide how to handle any particular situation.
    Great amount of entertainment for the price, but as the title flatly states, it's not epic. Not every game can be of course. But Unepic is fun, and I think that's all it was wanting to be.    … Expand

    This game is unusual, but in a good and refreshing way. It is a platformer with your main objective being to kill the lord of the castle you're stuck in. The story is somewhat weak, but fun anyways.

    The two things I dislike would be, A: The major repetition of the f-word, s-word, etc. and it's just sort of unnecessary. They use the words so much it gets annoying. Honestly.

The other would be lack of a control interface, so I was stuck using the arrow keys rather than the WASD keys. Oh well. Overall, pretty good game.    … Expand

    A very rare case when MC score are very on spot at best game deserves 7/10. There are a lot of great ideas and concepts behind ugly implementation and bad, poor design choices uneven gameplay, pace and difficulty. It feels like an indie debut from a very young developer(s). I suggest think twice before purchasing it, there is a very high chance you will be disappointed.

    One Word: Unfair.

    Last Sections/Rooms of the Game are so unbalanced it destroys the whole game. The developer did a good job in general but has absolutely no Idea how to balance a game. Dialogues, Pop-Culture-References, Quests, Secrets, Gfx, RPG-Elements... all fine! Well.. the end is quite unrewarding and dumb but that's a thing of most games. If you need a trainer, then look    One Word: Unfair.

    El juego si vas directamente a por los jefes dura bastante poco, pero si vas explorándolo todo poco a poco te enamoraras de sus bromas, de sus personajes y encima el juego llegara a unas 10 horas de puro placer videojugable. 100% recomendado.    … Expand

    The game is to laugh your butt off of dialogues, references on geek's culture and to experience fantasy rpg from a charismatic modern dude's perspective. But it lacks in gameplay and has a cheap level design. Unepic doesn't have fun battle mechanics: first six hours its casual hit first and win, further you need to think a bit and use different magic, but it doesn't adds to fun.

But it lacks in gameplay and has a cheap level design. Unepic doesn't have fun battle mechanics: first six hours its casual hit first and win, further you need to think a bit and use different magic, but it doesn't adds to fun. And for such mechanics the game is too long, gameplay becomes boring after six hours, and the gameplay is 10x times more there than dialogues and story. Also a big mistake of developers was to give you magic one by one without the full arsenal till the end: begin with fire, then ice, etc. But what If I want Dark magic from the start, for example? A big mistake that you have 3 types of close battle weapon for a warrior: axes, hammers, swords; but hammers for enemies with armor or without flesh, swords for flesh creatures and axes are for everyone but they're ridiculously slow that on the last difficulty they're useless. Its not comfortable, it leads us to the next big mistake of the game - too much button binds! All your keyboard is busy with spells, items, weapons, pets. Its just so easy to confuse buttons that it makes your mind blow!… Expand

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

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

    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.
