Scrabble meets Balatro.1 found this helpful
Best word game out there, if you've left this game a negative, you are an idiot. 10/101 found this helpful
They game could be good but after month of the release it's still buggy. For example sometimes I can't place a tile on the border of the board for no reason. It's playable but this sounds like the easiest thing to fix.
Balatro with a "scrabble"-skin. Which means luck plays a devastating part in whether you proceed or not. And roguelike on top of that. I destroyed a run with an incredible score using nothing but lazy 5-letter words and on another occasion got absolutely nowhere when using 7-letter words or higher. The latter because I only got cards supporting words with 2 or 3 letter words. Like balatro it was lot's of fun playing it for a few hours and then nothing but frustration later on. It's not a bad game, but roguelike + a ridiculous amount of rng feels like a waste of time (and potential) to me.
Got this game because I read about it in retro gamer and wanted to the boys from rare who bought us goldeneye. Actually turns out it’s super fun and addictive, like balatro with words, and I find making words more interesting than making poker hands
It's pretty fun, but if you're expecting a Scrabble-type game this isn't really it. Because of the way the scoring system works, the words you actually make are fairly irrelevant and it's more about the 'score level' of their length and whatever multipliers you have. At the higher levels, the actual letter values, for the most part, have barely any bearing on the score of your word. I also think the game relies too heavily on wildcards which is another reason why it doesn't feel like Scrabble. Also, the letter Y should count as both a vowel and a consonant since it can be both.
