The illiterate Heretic falls before the might of the Emperor's language.
I came for Boltgun. I stayed for typing lessons. When I first launched Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Words of Vengeance, I expected to purge heretics with a chainsword and a bolter. Instead, the game looked me straight in the eye and said: "Brother, your WPM is now a weapon." Nothing prepares you for the experience of desperately typing "ABOMINATION" while a horde of Chaos cultists sprints toward your face at Mach 5. I didn't lose because the enemies were strong. I lost because I can't spell under pressure. The Emperor protects. My keyboard skills do not. At one point, I accidentally typed the wrong word and watched a demon continue charging while I sat there questioning my entire educational background. The game somehow turns a grimdark universe full of endless war into the most intense spelling bee ever conceived. Imagine if your English teacher was a Space Marine and failure meant immediate dismemberment. Pros: Makes typing feel like holy warfare. Excellent for purging heretics and improving WPM simultaneously. The Emperor approves of proper spelling. Cons: Revealed that Chaos is not my greatest enemy. My greatest enemy is the letter "P." Now I instinctively type words whenever I see them in real life. Final Verdict: A rare game where improving your keyboard skills directly increases your survivability in the 41st Millennium. I arrived as a warrior and left as a slightly faster typist. 11/10 — The Codex Astartes does support touch typing.

My keyboard is hatred. I write for the Emperor!
expunge heretics with no more than your linguistic skills
Words for the Word God!
As far as typing games go, Words of Vengeance is pretty basic; it's missing capitalization, punctuation, and even spaces. All of these appear in the prompts, but aren't required to correctly type words and phrases, nor are there toggles for them to be required. However, the game is completely free, and the Boltgun backdrop for the levels and combat is actually decently well done, so if you like typing games, there is no reason not to try out this one. Be prepared for 40K gobbledygook to trip you up!
it is an ad for boltgun, but it is very fun
i like typing and having the game run itself
There was an embarrassing amount of time between me adding this to my library however long ago and me finally playing it, and it wasn't until right before I played the game that I realized that this was a typing game and not a shooter. 10/10 typing game tho
needs a dyslexic option...
