Tomb of the Bloodletter

An *incredibly* clever word game. Love the art.

TLDR: It's a good game! I highly recommend it. It is capable of being repetitive, but overall is a unique, fun take on the word-making genre of games, and I have a lot of belief in it POSITIVES: I think that Tomb of the Bloodletter is an interesting take on the spelling genre, different than most word games. Rather than trying to make the best word from the small number of letters you were dealt, the player always has access to ALL the letters on the keyboard (save for a few enemy debuffs). You could spell the exact same word over and over if you'd like. HOWEVER, the caveat to that is that your ability to defend, attack, and heal are all tied to different letters. You could spell "Assassinate," but if you don't have spells on "A" or "S" or any of the other letters, it doesn't matter. The number of letters that contain spells, the abilities within the game, is determined by your "Knowledge" stat. This can be raised and lowered throughout the game. 26 Knowledge? Spells on every letter. 5 Knowledge? Spells on five letters. Once a letter with a spell is used within a word, that spell disappears, and a new spell is applied to a different letter. The long and short of it is that t…

While this game, turns out, wasn't for me, I can't in good faith call it bad. It's fun! It's fun and perhaps even a good exercise in spelling. If you like or think you'd like typing games, and don't mind rogue-likes, then I think you'd really enjoy this one.

This is a really fun game and I want to recommend it to my friends to buy, but after 5 hours of playtime, the game won't open. I have no other programs running, I've uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared my caches and verified the game files to no avail. I hope I'll be able to continue playing this.

What a gem of a game this is, and it's difficult to really describe how sneakily good it really is! You start off typing in all kinds of dumb things, exploring the system. Then, before you know it, you're wracking your brain, optimizing words in order to get thorough a difficult fight. It's a hidden gem, and I wish more people knew about it.
