    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. kinda fun. typing to kill monsters is different. the story is kinda intersting. the art style is unique. the viewpoint looks like diablo where youre looking down. one level i was stuck on for an hour but i actually felt great because i changed my tactics and felt smart. i had to use electric spells for chain damage and use the long words on the big monsters first so they can chain the words. my typing has improved a little bit for sure. haven't felt like that in a game in a long time. the ending is kinda sad. the girl is in a coma and was dreaming. the game was a dream all along. and it was cool to reveal that all the watercolor paintings you find in the world is her art! a little bit sad actually. at the end, i felt that my typing has improved, so it's a win win! it's not a bad game to improve your typing skills actually haha. i like the little puzzles you find. like turn the switch to open the gate to get throught the maze. there's a few things that made me confused though. the pathfinding is not that good. i found myself lost in where to go next. another instance, there's a level where you have to light up lights in the dark cave or else you can't type. i lighted up the crystals and the mosters killed me because the letteres won't show up. even though i already lighted it up. it's a bug that needs to be fixed becuase i unfairly did a few times to this.… Expand

    Overall, Epistory – Typing Chronicles is a beautiful and touching experience that also doubles up as a way to improve your typing skills. Though it can be played with Joy-Con, keyboard is absolutely the way to go.

    The very core of Epistory – Typing Chronicles is centered around words and story. The narrative and visuals carry over well to the Switch, but the typing combat gimmick requires the cumbersome use of an external keyboard or the built-in adaptation to Joy-Con controls. It’s a fun, clever game, but one that’s best experienced on the computer.

    It’s really unfortunate, because I feel like Epistory has a lot of potential to be great. Its papercraft world is gorgeous, and the voiceover narration has a lot of charm. But no matter how good those things may be — and how good this game probably is when you play it on PC — the fact of the matter is that Epistory is a lousy fit for the Switch.
