What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

The Typing of The Dead: Overkill is praised by players for its engaging typing mechanics, hilarious presentation, multiple difficulty levels, and customization options including custom word lists that encourage replayability. Players appreciate the challenging gameplay when played on higher difficulties and enjoy the quirky humor and cutscenes. However, the online multiplayer functionality is reported to be completely broken, which is a significant drawback for those interested in competitive play.

This is not "The House of the Dead 2" remade into a typing game like I thought it was as it was the only one available on Steam. I should have done more research, yes, but I hate these vulgar characters.

amazing game, funny dialogue and campaign. really good shooter on rails experience on both typing and shooting. awesome. really fun

Easily the best entry of The House of The Dead since the first game. https://youtu.be/4R5qIkH1bow

It's just not very good and aged poorly. The typing would probably only build bad habits that won't make you better at typing. The custom dictionary is a cool feature but not that cool. Every level is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ movie trailer parody which is the point but it gets old fast.

This game is the essence of pulp. And I don't mean just the plot and dialogue, which is so unfunny that it actually becomes funny. I also mean the technical aspects of the game: Bad animations, fuzzy textures, cumbersome menu navigation (you cannot use keyboard for that although you must use keyboard for actually playing the levels). Not sure if all that is carefully crafted intent or random coincidence, but EVERYTHING in this game is extreme pulp. Let's call it "gamesploitation". Another question entirely is whether you actually get better at typing by playing this game. I've played for 2 hours so far with all DLC dictionaries enabled and I've already seen alarming number of words and phrases repeating.
Recommended Sep 20, 2026
The whole concept of playing a rail-shooter zombie game while practicing keyboarding is awesome!

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
