Unepic Confirmed for 16th January on the North American Wii U eShop

Very unepic.

I was wondering the other day where this game went.

It had me at RPG. <3

Can't wait to buy!

Looks pretty unepic, alright. But what did you expect from anything even remotely associated with D&D?

Wow it really looks unepic. I wanna like it but I can't. Maybe if they release a demo and I play it I'll change my opinion.

I prefer these indie games more than the overrated AAA (if you can really call them that) games

Wow. Doesn't look that great at all ---- at all. Jeeeez, can't Nintendo get some solid games going on the eShop? Considering it's been out a year, there's not much available - and don't list me some games that you think are grand, I get it. There are some good games, but saying this, there aren't enough.

Is it that hard (that's what she said), to have Game Cube game available?

Sometimes it's like Nintendo is full of lazy stoners that don't want to bring in the cash. It's so effin' odd.

I think it looks pretty fun, not sure why everyone's so down on it.

@MAB Then why own a console? Just game on PC via Steam. Don't get me wrong, I loooove all kinds of games, but nothing beats a solid AAA game, such as a Legend of Zelda or The Elder Scrolls entry!

Looks cool will definitely pick it up. And did they change the graphics a bit because early it lookedva bit crappy.

I really don't like the voice acting, but it looks full of depth...

If the gameplay portion gets good reviews, I may give it a try. The setting and story currently aren't doing it for me.

I'm really looking forward to this, c'mon European release date

I really hope this is good. Been waiting for something like this on Wii U, but I'm with everyone else. This does really need to prove it's worth, and the voice acting seems to have been a odd choice, but hopefully you can turn it off... maybe

Edit: I just found that it should be 9.99$ in US. I guess that's fine. I feared 14.99$ could of been the case. Also, this is coming from the website. It says purchase on digital platforms for 9.99$. I'm assuming this means Wii U.

@KrautMcFriend I'm afraid I don't understand your rant

@KrautMcFriend Psyconauts did, I really loved that game more than all the AAA games that were out....but that was on my Xbox, I also love the AAA titles like Zelda and Metroid, but you can't say that indie games can't be just as good.

I mean, look at a Hat in Time. I don't even care what else comes out that year, that game will be my Game of the Year, 85% sure.

@Barsteward1 Hey, there's a book called 'the conquest of happiness' by a guy called Bertrand Russell, in one part of it he makes a really good case for not making fun of other people's hobbies, I used to do it to before I read it; you should read it. : )

Ugh, I just bought this on Steam during the holiday sale for a few bucks after reading that the Wii U version had a projected release date of March. Now I'm rather torn because the game is good, but it'd play much better on a console since I don't have a decent PC controller.

To those saying it doesn't look good... wat? I've played a little bit on PC and while the humor is a bit dry and the game references are rather heavy-handed, the game itself is a pretty cool Metroidvania with heavy RPG elements.

Yeah, there is nothing like relaxing on the couch with a big 50 inch 1080p HDTV a gaming console and a beer in my hand

It is still not even finished. (The multiplayer mode). Is it going to be included in this or not ? (Cannot see Nintendo letting them patch it all the time).

@BooJoh The price difference will probably be enough to get the Mayflash adapter that allows to connect a Wii U Pro Controller to a PC (And make it appear as a 360 controller). Or get a 360 controller (But they have a junk dpad). Don't think it is too hard to make a Wiimote and classic controller appear as a 360 controller either.

@unrandomsam I'm currently using the Mayflash Wii CC to PC USB adapter but my CC doesn't show up as a 360 controller, so some games don't want to cooperate with it. Usually Joy2Key is a good enough workaround for those games, but in the case of Unepic it uses some special trigger/bumper shortcuts that aren't available unless using the game's native controller support.

I'll probably get this when it comes out, looks fun to me and there's not a lot like it
right now

I hope they re-translate this before releasing it on the WiiU. I played the demo and the English translation was really bad.

@BigH88 There's a demo of the PC version.

I need an odd original RPG experience like this from time to time. One of my most anticipated indie games. Hope they don't rush it and bring the best version possible to Wii U.

And yes @ post above. EnjoyUp needs better translators.

I can't believe some of the comments here. This is an insta-snag as far as I'm concerned. I can already tell I'm going to love this game.

@Mr_Nose Yeah, just like Knytt Underground... If you don't get that game then you're definitely missing out on a Metroidvania gem

Just waiting for payday, pal-o-mine. (^_^)

Had my eye on that one for a while, now.

This looks like a very good game to me. Will wait for a review but from what i can see its a must buy! Nice animation and awesome weapons and spells like say a Castlevania!

looks good to me, probably a day 1 download... any ideas for multiplayer locally? can i play this with my daughter?

lol

Game is going to have to get crazy good reviews for me to consider. I'm sorry, but that title, it's awful. "Epic" is the most overrated word from the past two years. It now means "ordinary" in my book. And the dialogue in the game from the trailer is very amaterurish. But the gameplay looks alright. We shall see. Won't write it off, but first impression not a good one.

This is totally game of the year.

All those indie games are finally (slowly) getting released. Can't wait to check this one out, better hurry up getting this on the EU eShop Nintendo!

Looks cool prays for AU release

Do ppl not get its ment to be a Joke? Its ferly obvios from the tital being UNepic. It is about time game devs relaxed again and made a game thats just Fun they were all so scered to triy new things (hence i leen more to Nintendo now a days) and were happy to stick with the generic junk we see on a yearly baceses. I was playing Shadow of the Collosus the otger day (1st time on the "HD" ver) and after I completed it for a vrake i went to play Dragons Dogma a game i liked and felt was simmiler to it... after about 5 minits i was bord stiff another example is a game like Conkers Bad Furrday (on N64) companys are so scered to do that humer again at risck of offending some one (Thats what age rattings and "whats in this game" siymbals are for....) the only games that even come close to it are Bulletstorme (undrated game) and Borderlands 1 and 2 (again quite undrated as it dosnt have a VS death match rubbish... ) eh... iv sortof lost track... well eniway point being the game Unepic is a joke'ish game hence the "UN" witch means NOT so yeah..

@MAB AAA refers to the budgets involved, not the creativity, originality or quality. So yes a lot of what is referred to as AAA is exactly that: an expensive game...... Most are "meh"

This is a great game, I still play it on PC. Nice controls, good idea and very nice music.

This seems like a familiar formula, which may explain why the trailer's narrator offered comic relief. I think it seems charming and potentially fun, but yeah, a review would help in my decision to download it.

I hope we're not forced to use the Gamepad with this game.

EU shop as well please. This looks like a fun indie title.

Very cool looking forward to this.

@S-Miyahon LOL is this for real? Can't tell if trolling or not.

Doesn't look that bad in my opinion!
