This game offers more than 150 different enemies, each with a unique look, fighting style and short description.īesides the turn-based combat, another RPG element is "leveling up." After defeating enemies, your leveling up bar begins to fill up. If your word is just so-so, such as P-E-A-R-S, then you may only take away one heart (symbolizing health level) from above the enemy's head.īut if it's a good one, such as Q-U-A-I-N-T or U-N-A-L-T-E-R-E-D, then expect to finish the monster off by taking away two-and-a-half or three hearts of a total of five. The enemy then takes a turn and retaliates. While you create words with letters from the middle of the screen, Lex faces off against foes at the top, be they ancient Roman soldiers, mystical Sirens or sea serpents onboard a ship - or even angry ewes.ĭepending on the word you create, Lex charges his enemy and inflicts damage.
The tale spans 30 chapters in all, each with a different theme as our little bookworm traverses a huge map to confront enemies of all shapes and sizes.Ĭonfused about how a word game mixes in fighting bad guys? Here's how it works: Our hapless hero is a tiny green worm named Lex (short for Lexicon, perhaps?), and in the main Adventure mode he is magically zapped into books to confront a threat to the Great Library. The longer the word or the higher the letter value (think "Scrabble"), the more points you'll earn. Unlike PopCap's "Bonnie's Bookstore," the letters you click to make a word do not need to be adjacent to one another.
In case you've never played "Bookworm," the core game play in "Bookworm Adventures Deluxe" involves a 4-by-4 grid of randomly placed letters and it's your job to create words out of them. This clever word game serves as a sequel to PopCap's 3-year-old hit, "Bookworm," but adds a lengthy story with plenty of humor, and cleverly folds in role-playing game (RPG) elements to keep you glued to your computer monitor. The company has done it again with its latest downloadable diversion: "Bookworm Adventures Deluxe."
