Bookworm Adventures is a word-forming puzzle video game, the follow-up to Bookworm from PopCap Games. Released in November , Bookworm Adventures combines the 'create words from sets of letters' aspect of Bookworm with several elements of a role-playing video game. They used to be considered a low art form. Players guide Lex the Bookworm voiced by Chief Creative Officer of PopCap, Jason Kapalka through a number of stages, battling creatures along the way which are largely based on Greek mythology, One Thousand and One Nights and Gothic fiction, while the foes in the game's sequel are based on fairy tales, Journey to the West and science fiction.
Each battle consists of Lex squaring off against a given foe. Both Lex and his adversary have health meters represented by a number of hearts , which, when depleted, signal defeat. However, unlike more traditional role-playing games where players might injure their opponents with arms or magic, enemies in Bookworm Adventures are damaged by forming words. As in the original Bookworm , words are formed from a grid of available letters, although unlike the original, the letters used to form the words need not be adjacent to one another.
The longer the word which is formed, the more damage is done to opponents. Similarly, words generated using letters which are less common do more damage than those using only common letters.
Each turn, players can form a single word, while enemies use one of their available attacks to injure Lex, buff themselves, or manipulate the tiles in the grid. If victorious, Lex automatically recovers all of his health between battles; however, there are certain stages called 'Survival Battles' still called boss battles in the first game where Lex will not be healed between enemies.
After a certain number of battles are won, a boss of increased difficulty is encountered. If players defeat the boss, they complete the chapter and are rewarded with a treasure item.
Treasures provide special abilities to Lex, such as a reduction in damage inflicted to him, or more damage generated from words containing certain letters. In some cases, rather than receiving a new item, an existing item is upgraded. After the player has accumulated more than three items, Lex must then choose which three items to bring along on later chapters. In the sequel, the player can also be awarded a companion, which gives a beneficial effect every four turns.
There are 3 game modes in the first game. The different modes are Adventure , Mini-Games and Arena. Adventure mode is the main mode of the game. In the Adventure mode, the player solves the mystery of the Great Library, fighting the opponents in order. The Adventure mode contains three books.
In the sequel, the armored status is now separate from the enemy lore; the armor icon is visible at the bottom right of the enemy, similar how status ailments appear.
Armored turns to lightly armored and heavily armored turns to moderately armored. Weaknesses are now combined to a bonus category. Bookworm Adventures Download Torrent. Just download torrent and start playing it. Game modes There are 3 game modes in the first game.
Sequels In the sequel, there are a few additions and differences. Tile types Letter tiles usually appear in the grid as unremarkable, standard tiles containing one or in the case of the 'Qu' tile two letters.
Such attributes include: Gems — Tiles can turn into colored gems when the player spells longer words. The longer the individual word used, the more powerful the gem tile granted. These gems have various positive effects, such as increasing the damage done by the word, healing Lex, or adding elements to an attack such as poison or flame.
Smashed — Smashed tiles can be used to form words, but do not add to the damage of the word. As a result, using these tiles produces less damage than would normally be generated.
As with the previous negative tiles, these tiles also result from the attacks of certain foes, like Polyphemus. Locked — Locked tiles cannot be used at all to form words for a certain number of turns. These tiles result from the attacks of certain foes like the Minotaur. Plagued — Similar to smashed tiles see above , plague tiles can be used to form words without adding damage to the word, but additionally have the ability to spread their condition to other tiles if not quickly used.
These tiles result from the attacks of certain more powerful enemies, like Nessus. In addition, the sequel introduces more tile effects: Warped — Similar to smashed tiles, warped tiles can be used to form words, but do not add to the damage of the word.
In addition, warped tiles warp to hard letters J, K, Qu, X, Z after every turn, and will not change their letter when the player scrambles the grid unless they are purified before. These tiles are caused by attacks from certain foes such as Witch. Cursed — Instead of dealing damage to the enemy, these tiles do damage to Lex when used.
These tiles result from attacks of some foes such as Bull Demon King. Fire — These tiles made a return from the original Bookworm game, with equivalent effect of burning the letters. If left unused, these tiles will burn the tiles below them; when they reach the bottom of the grid, the entire grid is burned. They are immune to purification; only using them or defeating the enemy cures these tiles. These tiles are caused by attacks from certain foes such as The Butterfly.
Scrambles The «scramble» feature from the original title returns in Bookworm Adventures, allowing players to replace their current grid of letters with an entirely new set. Potions In addition to equipped items, players can also earn consumable potions, which can be used once each for an immediate benefit.
Treasures There are about 18 treasures in the first game and 13 treasures in the sequel. Enemy attacks and abilities The player can see what attacks and abilities the enemy can use, located at the bottom-right portion of the screen.
