Nanotale – Typing Chronicles is a fairly amusing adventure to undertake, albeit with still some rough edges to polish. We weren’t always convinced by the game’s graphical quality and its controls, but the overall concept and gameplay were engaging enough to finish this reasonably short RPG adventure. We do hope the game does get some extra polish and perhaps even ditch the mechanics to open your spellbook.

- 6.5At its core, Nanotale is certainly enjoyable. The simple act of typing being morphed into an RPG format sets a sturdy foundation for a fun experience. Further, the adventure is one that I genuinely felt attached to. It’s a shame that so much weighs on this, though, from soft locks to unoptimized systems and choppy framerates, a handful of offputting implementations hinders this overall decent idea for an adventure.
- 8.0Nanotale – Typing Chronicles manages to put words at the heart of both the action and the story in a unique way. The centrality of typing is justified in the world that the developers have created and makes for some interesting challenges for gamers. The more classic exploration elements, based around the word magic system, also work well.
- Nanotale: Typing Chronicles will be a difficult sell for some people for very obvious reasons, but those willing to try something else and give themselves over to something a little bit different to the games we’re all used to will find a charming, likeable adventure.
- 7.0La colonna sonora è composta da un mix di musiche suadenti e pezzi più ritmati che sottolineano le fasi un po' più concitate, peccato che di tanto in tanto scompaia del tutto per qualche minuto per poi ripartire senza alcun preavviso. Non si capisce se questa cosa sia voluta per dare di tanto in tanto spazio ai rumori naturali, che tra l'altro di tanto in tanto variano incomprensibilmente volume, ma in ogni caso la sua totale casualità avrebbe meritato un testing un po' più approfondito.
