Sept. 2025

Overall a fun game but with some frustrations. The gameplay is standard adventure fare with RPG elements mixed in (leveling up, gain skills). The music is decent and works with the areas and situations. The art style is well done and has a storybook type feel thought the simplistic graphics lend it a mobile game type aesthetic. It won't tax your GPU, but there were some instances where the fans on my card revved up quite a bit. In one such occasion, they didn't slow down until a little bit after I'd exited the game. The story is fairly standard for a video game: find the big bad and stop them. Unfortunately, it doesn't always flow very well and things are brought up without any indication (which isn't too bad) while others are brought up then never really explored. The ending also was pretty abrupt. There were some issues with pathing which resulted in me getting stuck. In all except one of these instances, I was thankfully in a place where the game progression un-stuck the character, or there was a mechanism to get out of the situation. The game itself provides a respawn function, so my guess is that this issue was/is known. I had fun with this one and think it's a decent follow up to Epistory. I am fond of typing games and enjoyed that this developer made two games that are adventures with typing elements incorporated. I'd love to see more from Fishing Cactus and other developers.

July 2025

As far as typing games go this is the second best out there, in fact it's second only to the first typing game published by Fishing Cactus, Epistory. The story is engaging and the game play fairly unique. I say fairly unique only because it greatly resembles what they did in Epistory. They did go a different route with graphics in regard to Nanotale over Epistory and it's not as charming but it's enjoyable and beautiful to look at. Overall I highly recommend Nanotale to anyone who is considering purchasing it but do suggest you go buy Epistory first as it's a better game overall. Don't get me wrong though, Nanotale is 100% worth the purchase.

March 2025

Nanotale takes the basic framework of Epistory and expands upon it with a more complex magic system and a deeper fantasy story. Unfortunately it seems to want to bite off more than it can chew which leaves it feeling a lot more unfocused and confusing (and buggy) than Epistory was. Typing speed doesn't seem to matter as much anymore and it's not always clear what the different types of magic are supposed to even do or what their specific benefits in combat are. It's still good and rather clever but I would advise going with Epistory first and come back to this one if you want more.

March 2025

I played the predecessor Epistory and their latest game outshine and played this one in between. It is fun to stroll around the beautiful land and type your way through everything. The typing does improve over time. Its a great way to get used to the keys and 10finger typing. Plus it gives you those quests and lots of lore snippets it is fun to collect anything. And the speed of your walkthrough fully depends on your typing skills. Very recommended to at least try out! Besides one small bug about not saving the controls I never had issues or got stuck or had game breaking bugs. Apparently the devs fixed a lot since the comments last year? I had a pleasant fox ride through Nanotale. and it really shines when it comes to the spell puzzles.

Jan. 2025

I bought Nanotale after playing and thoroughly enjoying Epistory. At first I was really confused by the gameplay of this one, even though it's based on the same concept -- type words to attack enemies and activate spells. But the way the spells work is a little different, especially with the push and pull effects. It's not all fully explained in the game and trying to figure something out on my own was a bit frustrating. Especially in the desert area where you have to use push/pull to make the vines grow or shrink, and some of the creatures make vines when they die, but not always. It took me forever to realize that it was the SAND underneath the creature that would activate the vines. Same thing with the water-baring creatures -- sometimes the water would make a puddle and sometimes it just vanished. A little more explanation would have been helpful. There were several times in the game where I wanted to activate a spell but couldn't because there were no targets in the vicinity and you don't get the SELF spell till much later; some of that was puzzles and some was just frustrating. I am getting close to the end and I do enjoy the game overall, I would just recommend a few hints to people before they get started to make their journey through the land less annoying.
