This game is awesome!!! It's really challenging but there's a lot of modularity to the weapons system and the play style. My only wish is that there was a "learning" mode. This would be an amazing game for learning typing. If there was an option to have infinite health and slow everything to 1/4 speed, I think this would be a fun way for people to improve their typing skills.

If you are not sure if this is for you, try out z-type (browser game). If you do like z-type, there is a good chance you would like this game. I enjoy it a lot. I can think of some things that would be really nice for this game, but even if they don't happen, I've had good fun with the game. You do need to have some typing skills for this game to be fun and not just frustrating.

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.

If you can touch type and are proud of the skill... you will love this game! If you can almost touch type and want to do better... you will love/hate this game! If you single finger type... you will hate this game! The game is awesomely simplistic, elegant and in its own way, beautiful. The rogue like nature is enjoyable and failure is inevitable but it gives you enough chance and throws the words at you in waves such that there is rest-bite, enabling a feeling of achievement from achieving success against an intense wave whilst knowing full well that the next one will be more challenging. Suggestion for the devs: The barrier to entry is quite high, a reasonable level of touch typing is required to get anywhere in this game. I think it could really help open up the audience if an ultra-slow beginner level was included to allow single finger typists and/or children to access the game and feel achievement. This could then also bridge a gap to an educational tool as well as being a game. Good luck devs and great work so far!

Difficulty scaling needs some work. At a certain point, reading the enemy text is next to impossible with the activity happening and the overlap of enemies. Great take though, look forward as it continues to develop.
