A true role-playing platformer experience that will unleash your inner munchkin.

Unepic, an awesome RPG/platformer full of loot, monsters, dungeons, and lots of nerd culture-based humor showing just how fun tabletop role-playing might get, is available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $4.99 for the first week.

Daniel was one of those guys, who will argue with everyone for a chance to re-roll their character's stats. He would secretly add "+1"s to his equipment sheet when nobody was looking. Sometimes, he would "accidentally" knock down a cup of Slurpee on the table just to rearrange the characters setting on the map. And, boy, was he good at it! Maybe he had superior stealth stats and no one ever noticed his meddling, or maybe everyone thought that arguing with "that guy" was pointless. The important thing was: Daniel rocked tabletop role-playing. At least in his own opinion. But then, one dark night, as he left the table only for a moment, he was transported into a dark and ominous castle taken straight from a Game Master's most sadistic dream. Daniel would have to muster all of his skills and tricks to handle this ordeal. But, after all, he WAS the ultimate munchkin!

Unepic is a exploration and loot-based fantasy platformer that in its core is the ultimate tribute to pen-and-paper role-playing and nerdom. The number of times the game winks at fantasy gaming fans, TV show followers, bookworms, and gamers is simply uncountable. You will explore a huge set of dangerous stages with varied environments, vast selection of monsters, and even more incredible equipment to find and utilize against your foes. The GOG.com version even comes with some exclusive items, unavailable anywhere else!

If the way of the munchkin is your preferred approach to tabletop RPGs, if you appreciate nerd-culture references, if you love loot above everything else, it's time for you to start exploring the realm of Unepic, for only $4.99 on GOG.com! The launch offer lasts until Tuesday, May 28, at 9:59AM GMT.
It looks like I can't remap the keys from within the game. I have to exit to the main menu, then remap the keys, then reload the saved game.

Also, when it comes time to write a note in the map, any letter key assigned to the "use" function automatically exits the map. I guess the author really wanted us all to just use the arrow keys instead of WSAD.

DeadlyRamon: I just bought and installed the game. I noticed in the credits that the game was made entirely by Spaniards who reside in Barcelona, a city in which I was born and which I've visited several summers until I developed an aversion to flying. Interesting.

However, upon starting the game, after remapping my keys to a more familiar WSAD interface, I noticed when I tried to name my character that letters I'd used in my name that were assigned a specific game function (E for use D for moving right) were operating as if I'd started playing the game, so when I got to the letter E in my name (Deadly Ramon) it ended up moving me to the difficulty selection screen, and when I used the A and D keys, that kept alternating between the Cancel and OK options below the name entry field.

I got around that by temporarily assigning different keys to those functions, and then going back to the control-mapping screen once the game started, but someone really should put that on the list of things to attend to.

tinyE: Is the swearing censored?
I've seen "fuck" and "piss" once each, so nothing appears to be censored.

darthspudius: This is a bit underwhelming. Isn't there enough of these types of games already?!
please name some other 2D RPGs that are similar, I really liked this game and I don't know any similar...
Trailers should always be included in the press releases. !
oh my, it's in Czech too?! :D I just bought it again to see how did the translation go :)

SpikedCereal: Looks to me like another Shitty Indie game that tries too hard and has nothing interesting or new going for it

Licurg: I assure you it's not. I've had it for some time from GG, and it's great. And I'm not even a fan of this genre. I would warmly recommend it.
Hmm, so it's actually a decent game then huh? The impression I got was the opposite but alright, I'll keep that in mind and give this game the benefit of a doubt

Also: My previous post became low rated? Seriously? Different Opinions are not welcome here then?

It seems like an epic version of Castlevania. In fact if they redid Castlevania and kept the same style (instead of going 3D), they should take some cues from here.

Well, your opinion is based on conjecture, so I guess I can see how can someone not appreciate that.

Anyway, who cares. It'll just make people more curious as to what you wrote.

EDIT: Ha, way to be a total wanker. I'll give you a nice downrep for my gay buddy, he loves kissing dicks.

Well... You made a definitive negative remark on a game just because of "how it looks", while many of us that have actually played it know it's really a good game, so that might explain the downrepping. I didn't do it, BTW :P

hmm, I've never played Castlevania, but I always thought that it's a shoot/smash/kill type of platformer, like Contra, only in a fantasy setting... does it also have such heavy RPG elements?

anyhow, I don't recall many games similar to Castlevania either...

Schnuff: OK, as long as it is not something like this:

Leroux: Oh, wait a minute, this discovery will end all the speculation and wishful thinking right now! Pool of Radiance confirmed! ;)
Hell yeah, and they even improved the character selection:

La Mulana is kind of like that. A little more cartoony.

La Mulana seems heavily dependant on speed and skills of my fingers, not the character :)

Of course Castlevania doesn't have RGP elements (other than being able to carry a few weapons) : D That is why this would be an epic version of Castlevania. You can watch Youtube Let's Play Videos of it to see why it would be like a spiritual successor. By the way, Castlevania itself is a spiritual successor of Ghosts'n Goblins.
