Typing Break

[h1] Judging by other reviews it looks like some people are having issues knowing what this game is, so first I'll explain, then I'll review it [/h1] [h2] What is it: [/h2] It is a roguelite defense game where you type modifiers (on the left) and a gun type (one the right) to make combinations that destroy the various enemies that move towards you. It is a roguelite in the sense that after every wave you get to pick upgrades to current modifiers/guns or new ones. Of course, you earn xp (that's what it's called, poor choice but that's what it is) while playing that you can then spend to get permanent upgrades. This is what my understanding of a roguelite is (that term seems to change a lot) you do a run slowly choosing powerups until you beat the run, you spend points to get permanent upgrades, you do it over again. Other reviewers didn't see the loading bar on modifiers and guns in the preview videos so I will note that you cannot just type pistol as fast as you can over and over and win. Each word has it's own cooldown and you can only use it when the word comes off cooldown. A nice feature (that also ruins the fun) is that you can still type the word out and just press ente…

Never thought I would take not pressing the ENTER key in typing games for granted, This game requiring you to press enter after typing each individual word makes the quality of life of the game worse. Good thing you don't also have to press SPACEBAR to type another word after that. Game has promise but I wish not to be apart of it.

In my opinion the game is alittle bit of a lost potential. It has a cool idea, but also fails on the gameplay side - at least for me. To put it simply - the gameplay revolves around typing the same chain all around for each level. The cooldowns on the weapons are short enough, thjat I can just buy 1 weapon, 5 bonus words and by the time I can type all of the buffs, the weapon is back up again. Normally that would be OK, however, most if not all of my weapons cool down so fast that I could type only 2 or 3 bonuses and its ready. I am not a slow typer (neither do I type at a neck-breaking speed). Increase the cooldowns, or find some other way to force players to type a different combo each time. Please. I know the game only recently launched, so I am hoping for some balance updates. Sorry foir the negative review, but I really cannot give that a thumb up in the current state. The game gets boring really quickly. Its a rouge-like so I will come back to play it once in a while, but being bored after just 1 round is insane.

Started playing t o learn dvorak under pressure, working out quite well[at least the pressure aspect]. although your build matters more than the wpm it seems. Love the music, worth playing\is fun

It's fun and have interesting mechanics, but the balance is a bit unhinged, I mean it's too difficult for 99% of players

Great progression and difficulties to keep you playing.
