The Book of Unwritten Tales 2: Review

The genre of classic quests who was in a coma state at one time is alive today thanks to two factors: these are Kickstarter and Germans. But if Daedalic Entertainment He copes on his own, not only developing, but also publishing games, then other German studios working in the adventure genre, even quite successfully, have to go just to Kickstarter. So the authors did The Book of Unwritten Tales – on the sequel of this humorous quest developers from the studio King Art collected almost 172 thousand dollars and almost three times higher than their initial request.

Fun past

Few people doubted that the idea to release the second part of the “Book of Unproven Stories” will receive folk support. The original was really bright, funny and fascinating. There, the united army of people, elves and gnomes fought against the orcs and goblins, but the decisive contribution to the rescue of the world made a trio of charismatic heroes – the elven princess of Ivo, the funny semi -carrier Wilbur, who dreams of becoming a magician, and the selfish merry mug Nate.

Broke The Critter Chronicles, who talked about the meeting of Nate with his alien friend nicknamed the Beast, who computed the role of inventory, only consolidated the success. In both games, in addition to numerous tasks and plot intrigues, there was a place for jokes, parodies and fun references to modern culture, games and films – from Wow to the “Lord of the Rings” and “Star Wars”.

Pregnant – this is temporary?

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 made Bronze casino login in the same spirit. Again salvation of the world, again jokes, cross -cultural parodies, non -trivial tasks. And again we meet with Ivo, Wilbur and Nate. Only this time the passage will take about twice as much time – the story is even more epic, mysteries and locations more.

Already the first meetings with the old heroes are set up in a familiar ironic mood. Princess Ivo, who wants to marry against her will, discovers that she … is pregnant. Moreover, apparently, from the Holy Spirit – after all, Ivo really does not even know what sex is, and consults on this subject either with a bird, then with a speaker in elven medicine. Over Wilbur, who nevertheless fulfilled his dream and became the first gnome mag, and even a teacher of the Magic Academy, students are mocking. And Nate even at the first meeting is in a free fall, flies past the clouds and at the same time manages to communicate with the extremely capricious genie.

There are not many new characters as we would like, but the old ones will survive many interesting adventures. We have to circle a harmful troll around a finger, make a trip to a company with a mummy, which constantly loses its head, make a humor to make a humor, participate in the election campaign, organize underground resistance, escape from prison, visit the snow and in the desert, visit the pyramids and the Elven Botanical Garden.

There are many funny situations, and all this is supplemented by references to modern realities. The magician, remotely advising Wilbur, loves role -playing games, in the gnome inventory lies a talking tablet, and Ivo orders himself a flying animal to catalog of a magazine about aircraft about aircraft.

Subject conversation

The quest part The Book of Unwritten Tales 2, as in the original, made with emphasis on dialogs and objective tasks. But if there were some mini-games and rather complex puzzles in the first part and in the prequel, then there is practically none of this in the sequel. As well as levels of complexity with the ability to turn off the backlight of active points.

As a quest game, the game has become a little simpler and more monotonous: you will have to return to the same locations repeatedly, re -search them and communicate again with familiar characters, because many objects and replicas become active only after a certain event. In addition, many situations look too stamped: in the first ten minutes we have to look for the ingredients and mix something again.

Nevertheless, the abundance of events and funny situations, a constant transition of action from one hero to another, the opportunity to switch between the characters at some moments-all this carries. Ivo arranges the personal life of plants, communicates with the speaking tree, “pumps” his fishing skills (literally) and rescues Nate from the trouble, convincing the guard that he was an imbecile and an idiot. Wilbur “castes” flying kobolds, forces the broom to clean. And Nate translates the hieroglyphs and paves the course on the global map in search of the desired location. In general, you don’t have to yawn.

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 – Great continuation of the popular quest. Having lost somewhere in the complexity and variety of tasks, the game nevertheless became larger, more beautiful and brighter. And at the same time did not lose the main thing – branded irony, humor and fascination. Ivo, Wilbur and Nate with his alien assistant have already become like relatives to us, so we hope for a new meeting with them.

Pros: fascinating plot;an abundance of unusual situations and funny adventures;corporate humor and irony;charismatic heroes;pretty picture;Great voice acting and musical accompaniment.
Cons: some uniformity of game tasks.
