About

Starts as Boggle, ends as Schrödinger - Cursed Words is a roguelike adventure about writing words... for a while…until words become NUM83R5, or ♔♘♙, or the infinite void.
Each run is shaped by four pillars: your Character, your Sticker upgrades, your Stamp loadout and the consumable Tiles you bring into each fight. Every attempt becomes its own cursed experiment.
In Cursed Words you build powerful synergies using Stamps and Stickers, face tricky boss encounters and push your score higher with every stage. A base level run features five stages, each one with two encounters and a boss. Beat Stage 5 to win the run, then take on special Challenges and Crown difficulty tiers that redefine the rules and push your creativity.

Blaze a path through cursed bosses and uncover secret items and challenges that completely change the way the game is played. How about all consonants? Maybe all vowels? How about no letters at all?
A whopping 300 stickers and stamps to boost your scores and break the game
11 characters with dramatically different playstyles
20 bosses that’ll try to sabotage your runs, or can be manipulated into multiplying your score even higher
26 unique challenges that completely change the rules of the game

And if all that wasn't enough, mastering each Character's Pin and playstyle is only the beginning. You can prove it wasn't just a fluke by taking on the Challenge Crowns, where Score Targets are bigger, Shops are more expensive, and you'll have to really break the rules if you want to succeed; or you can take on Quests, specific modifiers to the game's rules that will really put your skills to the test...

This might be the best game of all time. Idk what else to say, add point shop items :P
Good solid balatro like for anyone itching for more. Clean and delibirate, good pasing, easy to understand mechanics with enough depth to hold attention. A bit bland visually and could use some juice but it is a good game,
Fun little word game
really good
This game is awesome. I already loved word games and roguelikes before playing this and it just hit both genres so well.
At long last, "balatro but with words" has been made. As a long time lover of word games, and of Balatro, I've been trying all the various demos and...wow, a powerup that makes Gs give 2x score? That's it? Enter Cursed Words: you're actually making words for the first 3 hands of the first 3 games, and everything after that is pure nonsense followed by pinging noises whilst you watch the big number go up. All the upgrades are things that completely change how the game works. Absolutely wonderful. I love it.
It's basically the Balatro version of Boggle.
It's fun, charming and has replayability. Very chill if you just wanna kill some time. Reminds me a lot of the old Peggle games from PopCap. I have never ever outright laughed out loud at playing scrabble before this.
This is Balatro 2. It may look a little different, but it is.
Very good
