The game just don't work for me, I don't understand who it's made for, I like typing games but this game require to type with one hand and to control movement with the other, it just doesn't click for me and most of the difficulty comes from me not knowing how to type with one hand. And the sense of achievement is also gone due to the fact that you can cheese the whole game by plugging in a controller and a keyboard...
This game is massively overtuned. Very fun idea, but the people saying RNG is the winning factor are absolutely correct. There are attack combinations that are factually not avoidable, and they don't happen rarely. You can not allow yourself to get hit by the non-avoidable attacks, so you basically have to play it like a passive bullet hell first and a typing game second. You type one or two words every few attacks...
Got a credit roll about 3 hours in. As someone who gets ~140wpm on typeracer on a good day, I very much enjoyed a typing game that was actually challenging. I bought this game on a 90% off sale and do not regret it, but full price YMMV. I'm not sure if I'm interested enough to get the DLC though. What I especially liked: - I'm a sucker for pixel graphics - I'm a sucker for "dodge the shape," and this has some GREAT...
