Type Defense

[quote][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/7871885/]Follow our curator page:[b] OCG-Curations[/b] if you like and want to see more reviews like this one.[/url][/quote] [h1]Type Defense - Review[/h1] [b]The game:[/b] Type Defense is a typing game, where you type words. You are in charge of a castle, and your archers eagerly await correct inputs to be able to shoot the incoming waves of enemies - the bigger the enemy, the longer the words, the more arrows it takes. The game allows you to use gold, gained from slaying enemies for a few things: Repairing your castle, upgrading it (increasing base health and repair speed), ordering in bombs that clear all on screen enemies or slowing down their overall pace. There is also another use for gold, the option to buy a "last defense" to keep on playing even after a game over. [b]Gameplay:[/b] There is not too much to do right or wrong when it comes to a typing game, but there still are a few points worth getting into; The game is very short lived, as it's lacking difficulty - I got all 36 achievements on my first run. A sense of progression in either difficulty or upgrades is generally good to mix up the typing experience, the issue is that it lacks on both those ends. There are only two castle upgrades, which I got within the first 5-10 minutes. The enemy variety also fails to cover a wide range. Visually the game goes in a good direction, but since every word you will have to type appears at the same position at the top of your screen, there rarely (if ever) is the need to look anywhere else, once you know your 2-3 shortcuts. This could easily have been solved, by the words appearing above the enemy sprites. There also is a lot of repetition in the words you type, even within the first minutes of gameplay. One final issue I wish to address is the "last defense" option. In the game over screen, you have the option to purchase a "last defense" option for 300 gold, which puts your castle back to 50% hp and wipes the map of all enemies. As a reference, on wave 76, when I let myself die for one of the achievements, I was sitting on 9200 gold. After I used my "last defense" I was sitting on ~9250. Bombed enemies still drop gold. And that lead to me noticing, that I can just endlessly go on, by just using "last defense", since it can be used any number of times in a run. [b]Conclusion:[/b] While the game offers the basic typing game experience, it ends up lacking in many ways. I can't even recommend the game for the cheap 0.99, for it has been outdone by free browsergames in the same genre, even visually. Unless you want to bolster your Steam library, I do not recommend the game. [u]2/10[/u]

[h1]Basic typing game with little challenge for a proficient typist.[/h1] Not much else to say: you kill the enemies by typing the word right. If you make a mistake, a new word appears seemingly without other punishment. Words are anywhere from 3 to 8 letters in length, mostly middle of the keyboard (in English anyway), so it's beginner-to-maybe-intermediate level of typing. You might need to hurry with some of the larger waves. However, there's a couple power-ups (slow-down and kill-all) that render the random harder waves trivial. There's no shortage of gold to use the power-ups either. In between hard waves there are easy ones. Unfortunately, there's no calling waves early so I often had to wait bored for several seconds before the next wave. [h1]Bland and easy-breezy[/h1] Achievements pop up only after quitting the game. All can be acquired by playing one marathon session of 45 minutes or so. Maybe it would be better if you were a beginner typist. Nevertheless, you've seen everything the game has to offer after 15 waves: the few different enemy skins that come afterwards aren't that exhilarating, especially since the elephants' sounds are irritating. But for 100%, you need to play to at least wave 75. [url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/9997062/]~Twistorian Curator~[/url]

[h1]Описание:[/h1] Интерактивная игра, в которой нам нужно набирать на клавиатуре показанные на экране слова. Набрали правильно - наш замок защищен и мы убиваем нападющего война, если неправильно то не убиваем. У замка есть уровень здоровья и когда он дойдет до конца - Game Over. В целом играть можно было бы, если бы не две основные проблемы. Первая - в игре нет уровней, только бесконечный режим защиты. Проиграли? Снова в путь. С таким геймплеем уровни обязательны, т.к. больше 5-10 минут в бесконечном режиме без смысла выжать из себя очень трудно. Вторая проблема игры - набор слов. 80% слов я вообще ранее не встречал даже в сканвордах, 10% слов мат и оскорбления, а остаток обычные слова. Трудно было нормальную базу слов скачать? Не понравилось совершенно и хоть подобный игр не так уж и много, но лучше играть в уже проверенное чем в это...

Progresses too quickly from easy to difficult to be educational or fun

Y'know what, it's not bad. I got this at 0.64p and unlocked every achievement in 47 minutes. I bought it expressly because I am an extremely fast typist, and I knew I'd be good at it. After Wave 100 (probably earlier, to be fair) nothing else changes, and it's the same thing again and again. I've noticed a few people mention it's not that good for learning typing, but I'd disagree somewhat; I would find that this would help anyone who has an average speed (40-50WPM) get up to a decent speed (around about 90WPM). I doubt it would allow one-finger typists to learn, nor would it allow a decent typist to get up to my speed, as the enemy waves are just not fast enough - that being said, I type upwards of 130WPM, and that's way overkill for just about anybody. I'd absolutely recommend this for even the full price of 0.99p - it's an easy achievement set for those so inclined, and it's a nice little time passer for those who just want to type.

This game is badly balanced. If you manage to get past the most difficult parts around wave 15, the game gets easier again. Killed enemies give more gold as you progress, while the price of screen nukes stays the same. Since enemies killed by screen nukes drop money as well, it will start paying for itself. The last achievement is for beating wave 75, after wave 100 I stopped typing to see how far I could go. At 150 (with only nukes and occasional repairs) I stopped since my gold reserves slowly grew, there is no end once you made it over the one hill. If you are an achievement hunter and decent at typing (blind and slightly fast), this is an easy 100%. Otherwise I can't recommend this game due to the balancing and a few other problems (limited dictionaries with abbreviations that are awkward to type, tons of repeats, bad choices for line breaks and font scaling).

Бэйби тайп в школе и то интереснее был, хоть там и слов не было. Но тут тоже нет слов. Игра начинается с трёх букв и выдаёт абсолютно рандомные сочетания. Когда букв уже пять, а орда идёт не останавливаясь между волнами, вы проигрываете. Ели конечно вы не супер крутой секретарь-машинист. Сложность не регулируется. Защита замка лучше была во флеш играх прошлого века.

Typing practice, the game. Yes, it's as simple as the screenshots look. You are just typing the words on screen and the combat is automated based on your typing speed and accuracy. You have a couple of special powers to spend gold to get through tough spots, but the point of the game is to practice your typing skills. It's an interesting gimmick for $1 or less. --- [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38232109/]While you are here, would you consider following my curator page?[/url] [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/kunovega/recommended/]Want to read all of my reviews and not just the curated ones?[/url]
