Slay the SCRAAABBLEWords Can Kill is a spelling roguelike game hugely inspired by Slay the Spire and Dicey Dungeons. Your deck here is full of letter tiles akin to those in Scrabble. Your journey begins with a random 12-tile deck consisting of the letters without additional effects (like a 1-point E, a 2-point P and 4-point Z). During combat you draw tiles from the deck and place them on the Attack or Defense board trying to spell most optimal words considering your equipment bonuses and enemies intentions. After successful fights you can get new items or add more powerful letters or even 2-letter tiles to your deck.

If you've ever played other popular spelling games you probably know how it can be frustrating to have a Q and no U in your hand. Time has come to change this once and for all! Remove this annoying Q from your deck on the next visit to the forge. Or instead, you can upgrade your Q and build the entire strategy around these Q and U tiles forcing your enemies just QUIT the battlefield.

[ 2022-06-11 13:25:37 CET ] [ Original post ] Words Can Kill is a fusion of roguelike deckbuilders and word games. But this game isn't about your vocabulary. It's about your decisions and resource management. You will travel through the fantasy world and fight monsters trying to find a more efficient way to use your letters and your gear.

Features
- Indirect synergies. It's hard to consistently use a powerful weapon that requires 6+ letters for bonus activation with a deck full of rare letters and without additional draw sources.
- Plan your future turns. Are you ready for a strong enemy attack on the next turn? Don't use words now, place your letter tiles on the board and wait. This way you can make multiple blocks on the next turn and defend yourself.
- RNG management. Replace tiles in your hand any time you wish. But pay with your health.
- Upgrade your deck. That tile with 'Q' poisons your life. Remove it from the deck on your next visit to the forge.
- Easy to learn, hard to master. The game has simple mechanics but deep strategy. Only a true hero can save the princess!
- Dozens of random enemies, random maps, tons of unique items. And it's a roguelike, so yet another stupid death awaits.
