Unepic’s Wii U version makes smart use of the GamePad. Neighbours from hell free download. Spells, weapons, pets, and other abilities can be hotkeyed to one of over 20 buttons on the touchscreen, meaning it only takes a simple tap.
What’s the difference between a hidden gem and unreleased curiosity? The answer lay in the difference between the unreleased (until now) SNES JRPG Romancing SaGa 2, and the over-released, nostalgia heavy Metroidvania game, UnEpic.Both are RPGs in that you find equipment, fight enemies, and power up via stat points and ability upgrades.
One is action focused, the other turn based. One developed during the 16-bit heyday of games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI, Earthbound, and the Secret of Mana – that was impossible to find until now.
