Keyboard Soldier

fend off zombies by typing words above their head and compare your score to random people on the leaderboard if you want. there's a how to play section called tutorial for some reason, which it isn't. a single typo breaks the combo, yellow words give more gold, blue ones freeze foes, purples get rid of 3 baddies. level up means choosing a helpful perk, the shop, appearing every few days, lets you buy and upgrade items like barricades and mines. the environment changes after every 10 days, that's neat. night only happens after every few days, but then lasts several days too, bit weird. canned tomato soup is used to unlock character skins, I think one's awarded for every 1k points at the end. it's a simple affair, not necessarily a bad thing, but there are some bigger and smaller issues, such as: [list] [*] the game doesn't save on exit, not even a warning or confirmation when going back to the menu. [*] no difficulty settings and instead of providing some, the dev just upped the overall difficulty in every aspect recently, very accommodating. [*] the only available font is not the best, easy to confuse i and l, for instance. [*] no need to press enter but can't escape a word you st…

It's a quite good game for training typing skills.

"Keyboard Soldier" is a low key asset flip, a bunch of other people's assets assembled badly to make a basic game, typically this kind of thing is done by amateur developers without sufficient budget, talent and/or staff to do the job of game development professionally. It's then quickly rushed into Steam Direct. And, unsurprisingly, this never results in a product with any quality, interest, or value for gamers. This is an asset flip of a bunch of Synty Studios Poly Pack assets, looks like the zombie/post apocalyptic one and a couple of others. They've been arranged into a simple typing game where you "shoot" zombies by typing the words above your head, so you can do wave survival gameplay coupled with the opposite-of-fun that is typing drills. Yawn. At least some effort went into rearranging Synty's assets into some kind of game, but regardless, asset flipping is a serious problem that gamers have to put up with. But hey, if you think that asset flipping like what is happening here is bad, wait until that gets replaced with the onslaught of AI slop we're starting to see from all these amateur developers. So, the game might look better than you'd expect from an amateur pro…

[h1]Felky Fun Meter[/h1] [h1]|--------|--| [8/10] Very fun![/h1] Very satisfying typing game! The roguelike elements are fun to play around with too :D Only thing that I didn't like was the fact that you are not only asked to type real words but also actual gibberish mixing letters and numbers randomly. It feels very annoying to have to type stuff like [b]tngjt[/b] or [b]zhtns[/b] or [b]6x2p0[/b] after a serie of real words and it makes the game really less fun. Also very disappointing for a typing game to not have AZERTY/QWERTY choices in the options I had to remap my entire keyboard with an external software :| (and no changing the layout in Windows doesn't work you can't press "M" for exemple)

Pretty solid on a laptop, needs to fix some things including removing one letter enemies, they are hard to see and full words are way more useful to know and is better practice. Secondly it would make the game 10x more fun if u could actually progress in some way like unlcokables between the rounds. Fun little game though

Nice graphic, Good game
