"Keyboard Soldier" is a low key asset flip, a bunch of other people's assets assembled badly to make a basic game, typically this kind of thing is done by amateur developers without sufficient budget, talent and/or staff to do the job of game development professionally. It's then quickly rushed into Steam Direct. And, unsurprisingly, this never results in a product with any quality, interest, or value for gamers. This is an asset flip of a bunch of Synty Studios Poly Pack assets, looks like the zombie/post apocalyptic one and a couple of others. They've been arranged into a simple typing game where you "shoot" zombies by typing the words above your head, so you can do wave survival gameplay coupled with the opposite-of-fun that is typing drills. Yawn. At least some effort went into rearranging Synty's assets into some kind of game, but regardless, asset flipping is a serious problem that gamers have to put up with. But hey, if you think that asset flipping like what is happening here is bad, wait until that gets replaced with the onslaught of AI slop we're starting to see from all these amateur developers. So, the game might look better than you'd expect from an amateur project, but this is because it's partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Very little in this game is truly the creation of the "developer", it's just a bunch of rearranged assets. While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "Keyboard Soldier". The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on. Instead, they decided that "Procgen IS content!" and lazily tried to use procgen algorithms to create infinite, samey, repetitive, soulless levels, because that's a lot less work. As a result of this poor decision, the game gets tired and repetitive almost immediately. Developers must learn that procgen is a terrible substitute for creating real content. It should not be used as "ez-mode" for content creation, as the developer tried to do here. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $3 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice gesture for the game to have no up-front cost anymore, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. This is also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who showed enough questionable judgement to pay money for this... nobody got refunded. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 7 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Given that this free title won't increase your game collector count, is it worth your time to add it to your library? I think you should give this one a miss. Although it's free, your time and storage are valuable resources, and the market is filled with superior options. [b]Note: Joke reviews[/b] As usual, with some of the worst games on Steam, all the comedians come out of the woodwork. The vast majority of the reviews for this game are joke reviews, mocking the game for just how bad it is. The comedians give us the usual "this game cured my cancer, saved my marriage, changed my life" story... sarcastic, but not useful if you want to know if the game is worth it. Heck, one guy just relates the order meme from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Funny, but not useful. Because most of the reviews are humorous but also insincere and not reflective of the actual quality of the product, the positive review score for this game should be taken with a grain of salt.

Great game realy fun u realy need to know how to use a keyboard but when u get the hang of it its a very fun game
tolles spiel zum tippen lernen oder verbessern
Recommended. For free, this is really well done. It has a straightforward setup so its easy to jump into. The graphics are ok but the audio and effects help elevate the feel a bit. I liked the upgrades for your defenses and the bonuses you get to choose from. The only downside for me is the lack of progression. It follows the arcade format of one more run but that means you're just score chasing. If that's your thing, this is an easy yes.
Playing about an hour, I highly recommend this game for kids who already know their keyboard layout and want practice. It's great because it doesn't feel like training, but really a great zombie game. If I could wish for anything, it'll be: Allow the user to toggle zombie waves coming faster at speeds of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 3. Doing so allows more experienced users to play faster.
Cool concept, but the idea of zombies with 7sx82i combinations really piss me off.
Довольно интересная игра, вся механика которой заключается в том, насколько вы котик или кибер котлетка, которая знает, где какая клавиша находится на английской раскладке. Хоть у меня и клавиатура полностью англоязычная, у меня не получается пока-что пройти 10ый уровень (нападают онли быстрые и мелкие зомбики с 1-2 буквами/цифрами). Всем советую сыграть, очень прикольная и прокачивает вашу скорость печати (по крайней мере английской стороны)
fun game ngl for a price the price of FREE
