Simple as this may sound, it's very addictive, plus the graphics and sounds are brilliant and funny. Then the enemy attacks you, and you take it in turns like that. Naturally the longer the word, and the more obscure the letters you use (like x,y,z) the more damage you will do to the enemy (a bit like Scrabble). All you have to do is click on the letters to spell out a word of three letters of more and you will perform an attack on the enemy. Underneath that is a 4x4 grid of letters (16 in total for the Windows Calc impaired). You start with three hearts of health (more can be gained later), and your opponent has a similar amount on the early levels, but later on they have *lots* more health. The top half of the screen shows your character (the green bookworm) on the left and your opponent (could be a wolf, lion, warrior, thief, mythical beast etc.) on the right.
When you reach the end of the level you fight a boss and then it's onto the next level. You start on the left-hand side of a long horizontal level and you have to make your way to the right of the level by fighting various opponents with words. Each book has around 10 levels and each level has a number of stages (enemies). The game is a weird combo of word game and turn-based RPG (Final Fantasy style)! The plot is that you are a bookworm that gets sent into a book about the past to rescue someone called Cassandra the first book is set in ancient Greece, and there are 3 books in total. In addition to the main Adventure mode, Bookworm Adventures includes a monster-battling Arena mode and three word-oriented mini-games.īookworm Adventures is brilliant! It's a casual downloadable word-game for PCs and is made by Pop Cap Games, the creators of Bejeweled 2, Chuzzle Deluxe, Zuma and plenty of other famous games. Players can even acquire helpful items and potions to use in battle. Players will also gain experience over time, allowing Lex the Bookworm to receive more health or other attribute-enhancing powers. The larger the word, the more damage is dealt. One-on-one battles take place from a side-view perspective within the screen's top half as each side trades health-depleting blows. Each word formed on the 4x4 grid is used as an "attack" against more than 150 mythological monsters. Bookworm Adventures features yet another twist: the design is closer to a role-playing game than a traditional action puzzle title.
Unlike previous titles, letters do not have to be connected to one another. As in earlier games, players are challenged to build words by selecting letter tiles positioned on a grid. PopCap's word-loving worm embarks on an epic quest to save an oracle named Cassandra in Bookworm Adventures.
