Completing quests rewards enough reputation that it doesn’t feel like too much of a penalty. You’ll earn reputation based on the unique words and adjectives you use to complete objectives in the game, but you’ll also lose reputation points should you happen to die and need to respawn. The reputation system is attributed to the game as a hero’s need to be unique, as described by Batman during the few opening scenes. You’ll get reputation points for using different words to complete objectives, so giving Maxwell a flamethrower repeatedly isn’t rewarded, but even still you could get away with a repeated combo of knife, machete, kukri, and sword and not be docked.
The combat in the game is pretty generic and highly dependent on the tools you give Maxwell and even then, it’s mostly just a case of running at whatever you want to kill and pressing the B button. GameplayĪs you delve into the game, you’ll find that Maxwell has a huge arsenal of weapons at his disposal, some better than others. Sometimes the mini-tasks feel tacked on, but Scribblenauts Unmasked does a good job of rewarding creativity with adjectives and nouns by enlisting a 50% penalty reputation reward for reusing the same words. Several iconic DC Comics locations are the setting for Maxwell’s quest in finding the lost starites and there are a series of mini-tasks and actual story quests that will reward you with starites. Along the way you meet several DC super heroes who enlist your help, including Batman, Superman, the Green Lantern, and others. Maxwell and his sister Lily teleport into the DC Comics universe and end up with a broken globe and scattered starites, meaning you’ll have to do battle with several DC villains in order to get them back and get Maxwell and Lily to safety. This game is a dream come true for comic fans, but if you’re looking for the traditional puzzling action that attracted you to the original Nintendo DS titles, you’ll have to endure the comic book story overlay. Scribblenauts Unmasked marks the return of the Scribblenauts series to the Wii U, bringing along with it the entirety of the DC Comics Universe to explore.
