Word Realms (abbreviated WR) is a single-player role-playing game designed by Asymmetric Publications, including lead designer Zack "Jick" Johnson and designer Kevin Simmons. The game was released in 2013.[1]
Gameplay
[edit]Word Realms gameplay is based on battles between the player character and a computer-controlled non-player character (NPC). As in the game Bookworm Adventures by PopCap Games, battles consist of the player and the NPC taking turns spelling a word from a set of letters.[2]
There are also eight mini-games.[2] Each mini-game has a different gameplay mechanism, sometimes similar to battles, and sometimes with some twists or restrictions that make it quite different.[3]
Development
[edit]The game was developed over a period of four years, and was funded through Kickstarter.[4]
