Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Was the story written by chatGPT? I love their typing games but this one is so bad overall, visually clunky with a boring story, bad art etc. Feels like a student project rather than a game from an established studio with prior releases.”
“Really fun game, but honestly it's so frustrating. Eventually enemies start sending out attacks that require pressing letters to destroy which really isnt that bad until you're stuck partway into another enemy's word. You press everything…”
