Fantastic, bringing balance to the Force. God of Word + Words for Evil + Nephilimism.

The game is more challenging than it looks. It is a tiny game with a big heart. Some people complain that it launches in a tiny window. There is a way to adjust that. When you give your character a potion, click on potion, but then cancel. It then shows you options to make the screen wider. It still isn't full screen, but I don't know that the point of this game is to show you anything but the letters and the pixel monsters. I am a word person, and I learned words here that I had never read before (and I read a LOT). I appreciate the education it gives me, plus it's fast. There is no mercy for you if you don't think fast. I've gotten a lot of entertainment out of a game that is less than five dollars. You don't feel compelled to build a world, or to keep coming back, but I will, precisely because it's a fun little game to do in between other tasks or while waiting on friends.

While quite simple in concept, it's all done really well for what it's trying to be. Really like the pixel art and variety in levels you get. I haven't gone through the entire thing yet, but I have enjoyed the parts I tried. Only got some small gripes: Like there isn't anything between "zen" or "pro" in terms of difficulty, so you either get smashed into the ground or can't lose, which is a bit silly. Also please audio balance your game it's way too loud with the hitting sounds. Only reason I probably wont play more is that I just find it really stressful, even in zen mode... I just forget all the words and can't english properly. It is quite nice to learn new words, especially for people like me where english is not their first language.

As a guy who loves lexicography (the study of dictionaries) this game was exactly what I wanted. It spits out obscure words I will never use ever in my daily life, not even in scrabble, as they are not in the collins or merriam-webster dictionaries. If you want to play a fun rpg game, this is not it. This is a masochistic crossword puzzle. Whenever people say there is no word for the day after tomorrow, and make fun of defenestration for being present in the language, I am quick to make them regret their poor existence by explaining a. overmorrow exists, and so does ereyesterday, the day before yesterday; and b. defenestration describes historically significant events occurring 199 years apart in the Prague castle. Defenestration isn't even exclusive to the english language at all. Three plurals of octopus exist, the latinized octopi, most commonly taught, the obscure but appropriately greek octopodes, but despite these, the most commonly used word is octopuses. Isn't that neat? Why are you still reading this?

This game is a chill fun game. I've had Words For Evil for a while and have not really gone through and reviewed it till now, but it is really sort of relaxing in it's own weird way. It is a dungeon crawler of sorts in which your party attacks monsters with the words you make in order to deal damage and proceed. Yes it can be a little stressful when you're staring a dragon down and scrambling to find words, but all in all a great experience. I do enjoy the little touch of when putting in a specific word for chests/death saves that it does define the words for you in turn for an extra bit of learning. A definite pick up if you like this sort of game.
