Wik & The Fable of Souls - Perfect!

It takes one minute to know why Wik & The Fable of Souls is an award winning game. It takes ten minutes to know you want this game. What you might not know is "Wik" has a large following. There is a game home page and a forum with tips and answers to any questions you might come up with. You can download the wonderful music to play independently of the game to add to your music library. There is even a "unsupported level editor" so you can add to your game. Not only that, there are others who have already played the game and you can download the master pack that allows you to extend your play. But, those are things that you might wait to do.

You do not have to have the demo running to read the manuals or tutorials! Save your time for actual game play. This is the style of game package with community support that continuously keep game play fresh even if releases new releases don't show up. And the polite designers set the brightness bar at the lowest setting for comfort. Those of you who like blasting lights can increase the brightness even though the scenes are "perfect" at the default settings.

You have to see for your self - no review can do it justice. Get the demo - you can't lose.

Wik it and Wik it Good!

This is an amazing game. The very unique gameplay and story is both entertaining and absorbing. Reflexive has created a wonderful yet creepy new character, added rich graphics, a great storyline, and very challenging puzzles. The results are spectacular. In short, there is no game like this on the market.

The game presents different challenges from level to level, with new obstacles and ever changing enemies. Moving Wik around the screen requires agility and quick thinking. It is not easy at first to learn how to get Wik to stick and swing. However, Reflexive has included a great Challenge Mode which allows you to practice your skills and learn from your failures. This is incredibly helpful as you must learn to move Wik quickly to be successful. Wik gathers Grubs and fights off bugs, collecting coins and gems along the way.

In Story Mode, you are faced with chapter after chapter of increasingly difficult situations. On each level you need to help Wik move around the scene by jumping and sticking his tounge to trees, platforms and branches. Grubs pop up everywhere, requiring Wik to move quickly from one area to another. His sidekick, Slotham, walks slowly along the ground, eating honey if he can find it and collecting the grubs that Wik spits at him. Each level has a grub collecting goal and is timed. There are a huge variety of powerups that mysteriously appear. As you collect coins and gems, you are able to add additional lives and fill holes in a very mysterious shield that appears at the end of each level.

The game is very addictive and worth the download. You may find yourself buying it before the very generous 120 minute trial time runs out!

Wik is AWESOME!

The sticky tongue stretching acrobatic loopyness you can perform in this game are just about the most fun I have every had controlling a character in a game. I love the feeling of connection to the main character - Wik - that you feel when playing, the story and the graphics are amazing too.

There are loads of levels too, I find that when I get stuck on a particular story level, going and playing a few of the challenge mode levels helps me to build my skills, when I then go back to play story mode I get through quite easily.

I wish it was possible to give a game more than 5 stars, this game deserves way more!
