quick fun little game for time-killing purposes. definitely feels like it's a bit lacking in features i won't lie, but as an easy to pick up/come back to time-killing game for word nerds specifically? it's nice enough and has a solid variety of things to do with the concept. it could be better, and if you're looking for a particularly in-depth mix of RPG elements and typing/boggle-esque gameplay, this probably won't do it for you (the buffs from the Blacksmith and, to *some* extent, the effects of the character's attacks are rarely all that consequential, though you'd probably want a healing ability and an enemy freezing ability of some sort). hell, the game's "runs" don't even end; they just go on and on until you wipe, which can sometimes take ages. but you can always pause and come back to the run in a later session; so, honestly, i almost think it's good that it doesn't end if, again, you play this as a time-killing game. as far as things to work toward across runs: the character unlocking/levelling, bestiary, and unique words counter all offer things to work toward, either finite or... i guess as big as whatever dictionary this game pulls from (which, i will also note, sometimes pulls from some rather obscure/esoteric words, or, conversely, is a bit behind on modern lingo). so, regardless of its lack of depth, i find myself coming back to this game pretty often in those "idk what to do and don't have the mental capacity to do much of anything productive" moments, and i have more than gotten my money's worth in that department. the presentation is also pretty nice in my opinion, with nice pixel art and framing, and the game window being small (and not needing to be larger*) helps keep it unobtrusive when doing other things alongside it. *NOTE: i believe, from what i've seen from some other reviews, that this can be a problem for larger monitors, ie 4K resolution monitors, due to the window size being uncustomizable (at least through normal means). keep that in mind also the game is a bit funny in certain understated ways. Santa Claus being a character was funny enough, but one of his attacks essentially being a coin flip to judge your opponent either naughty or nice (with "naughty" dealing damage to them, and "nice" healing them) is something i get a kick out of every time i come across him if what i've described here sounds good to you, give it a shot (maybe wait for a sale if you're skeptical). you'll know soon enough whether you'll like having a game like this sitting in your steam library *far* before reaching 2 hours of playtime, anyway, so there's not much risk

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?
