March 2025
I was surprised to see Glyphica, a typing game, listed as having full controller support. Rather than just menu control or an awkward on-screen keyboard, the game features a proper controller mode in which the words that kill enemies are replaced with sequences of button inputs. If you enjoy type-to-survive games then the presence of an endless mode is enough to justify a purchase, and then the inclusion of a controller mode for casual fun just makes it even better. Glyphica handles the rogue-lite elements reasonably well. The level up menu does not pop up until you manually open it, so it doesn't break your flow. Most upgrades offer flat % increases to damage, duration, or range, but there are more impactful evolutions after a set number of kills. The evolutions on offer still aren't super exciting, but then the fun in this sort of game comes from the challenge of testing your typing/input skills and having flashy skills would just get in the way of that. The game has a decent selection of enemies. Speed, health, and attack range can vary and there are some that have other behavioral gimmicks. The tougher enemies tend to have longer words attached which makes their presence extra stressful. There is one rather annoying enemy type whose word is partially hidden and gets revealed as you type. Having to wait until a keystroke is finished to begin moving a finger for the next keystroke slows things down way too much for a game this hectic and I found myself just ignoring them and hoping AoE would take care of them while I targeted other things. The game also features bosses which do not attack the player directly and instead buff other units. Having to switch focus between minor enemies and working on taking down the boss is a pretty nice gimmick that helps make the game stand out. Glyphica: Typing Survival is a solid type-to-survive game with an endless mode and a rather fun controller option for more casual play. It's easily recommended to anyone who wants to put their fingers to the test.

Fun. The upgrades to weapons is cool. I wished there was some way of making words that are bunched together easier to read. Once you get to that point you are basically screwed cause you can't read the word to type.

The game design is nice. Having such a funny way to use my keyboard is cool. However, the only problem I noticed while playing was : I'm french and the ê doesn't work. It's really frustrating because I can't kill the word "fête"... And sometimes the boss sentence starts with "être". And as the ê doesn't work, I'm basically force to quit to restart a new game or I will be stuck forever à 0%. Ofc, I can play in english, but as it's not my main langage, it's not really comfortable and I'm not typing as fast as I type in french. But besides that, I like the game.

This game is tough. I get to around 80-100 WPM most games, and I still struggle to beat the first boss. It's easy to take in everything, though. There's no crazy colors, so everything is visually clear. One complaint I have is that you don't type to use the main menu. I just think that would be cool.

This is exactly the typing game I was looking for. Action packed as can be with great game mechanics. But what sold me on it was the dark mode, such a considerate QoL feature. Overall, it is well worth its asking price, even in this early access form!
