I've always had a soft spot for typing games but I also found myself thinking how awesome it'd be if there was a game that combined the typing mechanic but used it in a creative way and made a modern title out of it, complete with a story, fun mechanics, maybe interesting graphics...there's so much untapped potential there!

Epistory is that game.
It uses the typing mechanic as a way to attack hordes of enemies coming at you, and throughout the game, you get granted different elemental powers you have to use to combat different enemy types and it gets increasingly more and more crazy as it goes on. It's very fun!
The difficulty was just right but you can change it if you're struggling, so it's very much accessible.

Besides the combat, the game has a gorgeous origami-esque art style, and plays out on a map that you progressively unlock areas of and you are free to explore this map at your leisure. There's puzzles you solve and you can find treasures and the like hidden in places.

Overall, I really enjoyed the game and can highly recommend it to everyone.
