#BOOKWORM ADVENTURES DELUXE FULL#
Some equipment offers you partial or full protection from special attacks that the more advanced monsters do, such as stunning you for a turn or three while they get free attacks on you, or adding poison or debuffing your strength and so on.
A Hammer of Hephaestus obtained in a much later chapter ramps up your damage, especially if you spell metal-related words, such as iron, bronze, melt, etc. The Bow of Zyx above gives bonus damage to words using the letters X, Y and Z. You win treasures that act as weapons and armor, each with their own altering mechanic. Or how ironically appropriate the word is. In the earlier chapters, your amusement may derive more from seeing what non-kid-like words the game’s dictionary will let you get away with. It starts off simple, and you can get away with making three or four letter words to swiftly beat up the initial opponents, who clock in at about 3-4 hearts. Given how fond I am of playing with vocabulary, this is a match made in heaven. You make words out of the letters on the grid given to you, and the longer your word, the more damage your excessive grandiloquence does to your opponent. (We can talk about Puzzle Quest (bejeweled+RPG) and Defenders Quest (tower defence+RPG) another time, cos I have those games too.) Yes, all game mechanics become more fun when we put an RPG wrapper around it.
If you can get over the cartoony graphics and initial cheesiness, you’ll find that they hide a pretty exciting hybrid between an RPG and Boggle. In Bookworm Adventures Deluxe, you guide the main protagonist Lex the Bookworm on his epic quest to save the day and rescue the girl. This was the game that sat on my shoulder like a devilish imp, prompting me to finally pick up the entire Popcap bundle during a seasonal sale, despite already having played Plants Vs Zombies, the main popular anchor of a pack stuffed with a lot of other cheaper, cheesier, mainstream-y casual games.Īfter playing the demo, I just couldn’t get over how goddamn FUN it was.Īnd how much I wanted to keep playing until I completed the game.
