About WordWar

What is it?
WordWar is a couch multiplayer game from 1 to 4 players.
Its particular aspect is that it combines word game goals with chaotic couch game dynamics.
In fact, the players have to fight for the letters scattered in the Arena in order to build words and score points

What it looks like?
In WordWar you will chase the opponents to steal the letters they have and try to carry them on your team's base.
A big part of the game is based on throwing the letters around, to your teammate (pass) or to your opponents (hit) - this last part is the funniest one😂
You can write any word with 2 or 3 letters, so be creative!

✦ AI summary

WordWar is a word puzzle game with an interesting hybrid concept, but players report significant technical and design issues that undermine the experience. The mandatory controller requirement and lack of keyboard support frustrate PC players, while some appreciate the game's core design despite its technical problems and limited language options. The game also suffers from bugs that prevent basic functionality like button clicks from working properly.

"WordWar" is a badly made and objectively failed attempt to make a hybrid PVP action game and word puzzle, where different teams run around and assemble words. Ok. What do you do in the game? Nothing really, there's no players. Also the developer goofed and decided to insult PC gamers by requiring a console peasant children's toy game controller. This is never okay. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. Insultingly, the developer insists that you should play this with a console peasant children's toy gamepad instead of KB+M. You cannot play this without a console peasant children's toy. Developers should try to be aware which platform they're designing games for. It's the responsibility of the developer to ensure the game runs well on the platform they're selling it on, with the primary peripherals that PC gamers use. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money aft…

The game is well thought out, what happens is that it only works with a controller and not with a keyboard, it really loses a lot. Besides, it must be said that if it were in more languages it would be much better, the Spanish side is always willing to play free games hehe but I hope it improves that it shows potential
