About this gameFull description from Steam
Demo is restricted to certain game modes and weapons. Typing tutor meets horde survival in this fast-paced roguelite that challenges your speed, accuracy, and strategy. Step into a minimalist arena and dominate the battlefield using your typing skills and your trusty keyboard. Not Your Ordinary Typing Test Type the word above an enemy to finish them off. Challenge your focus and speed as bigger waves and wicked words try to slow you down and take you out. These wily words also have a few tricks up their sleeves. Deterministic drones will simply edge closer towards you, but egregious enemies like Swarmers will fire their little bullets at you, while Shooters charge up to unleash hell on you. Kit Out; Don’t Keysmash Furiously fast fingers will never be enough! Upgrade your arsenal with unlockable weapons and loot that can help you make quick work of each wave of words. Each build is uniquely yours. Set up your Oscillator and Sentry to take care of a large swathe of territory while you pick off the stragglers, or minmax your main weapon to evolve into an alphabet assassinator? The choice is yours! Control Freaks Rejoice! Hate keyboards with a passion? Or are you just better with a controller? We have you covered with controller mode that works for any controller you might have, or even on the go with your Steam Deck Escalating Beats to Defeat Enemies to Get into your flow state and provide your best typing performance under pressure, accompanied by pulsating techno beats to carry you to victory. Full Game features Ever-evolving Builds: Carve your own upgrade path through hundreds of combinations. Augmentation System: Unlock perma-upgrades and evolve your build across sessions. Typing Speedster: The higher your WPM, the more you destroy. Varied Arsenal: Experiment with an expansive collection of weapons, spoils, and upgrades. Quick and Accessible: Engage in 10-20 minute runs tailored for quick sessions. Couch mode: Words turns into quicktime sequences on controller.
