Gameplay
Gameplay
• Illustration — A screenshot of the main character exploring a cave Unepic is a role-playing platformer game with Metroidvania elements and nonlinear gameplay, inspired by the 1987 MSX game The Maze of Galious. Players can use a number of melee and ranged weapons and armors as determined by their level and skill points assigned to an applicable type of equipment. Simple crafting for potions is also available in limited locations, and merchants are present throughout the game, believing the player is a possessed monster. "UnEpic Points" are awarded for completion of long and difficult challenges, and can be used to purchase powerful equipment such as laser guns, flamethrowers, and rocket launchers.
