What If Scrabble Had STRATEGIC COMBAT?

[@anatoliynikitin832]

Hi! The dev is here! Thank you Tyler for playing my game. You played really well! The game already has much more difficult levels and 2 more characters. It was the Level 1 (Ascension 1) in the video. I see in the comments people are talking about Bookworm Adventures. Just for reference, I've never played Bookworm Adventures or Letter Quest. I'm not even a native speaker, and my English is not great. The game was actually inspired by Dicey Dungeons and Slay the Spire only. Dicey Dungeons had such a great concept, but I wanted to add more consistency, strategical planning and non-trivial synergies to it. So mechanically during battles Words Can Kill is Dicey Dungeons with letter tiles instead of dice.

[@bastian_5975]

I never would've noticed the similarity to dicey dungeon without that comparison... Of course it also doesn't have the same card system (I'm guessing because that system doesn't really work with letters...), And there isn't really an analog to the heat/thirst thing here in dicey dungeons...

[@abhinandhari7812]

21:20 there is actually a game called Hobo (iirc) where you play AS a hobo, thus defeating many enemies with a hobo Also almost immediately after, the word rite would've been more efficient. Same value, leaves the w for later.

I think the magic sword would have led to more overall attack for you, but I could be wrong. It's just so nice to do a lot of small words to quickly buff it then no mater your tiles you get the buff. Imagine a poor set of tiles on you times 2 turn, could really lose consistency

[@hyasome244]

I just wanted to point out something cause I found it funny: Tyler said "In no other game can you beat people with a hobo", and that's not true... There's a flash game series called Hobo with about 8-10 games, I forgot exactly how many, where you have to beat up baddies with a hobo and you gain crazy move combos as you progress. Not only that, the sequences retain all moves from previous games, which means you can still do the crazy combos you got from Hobo 1 in Hobo 5 for example.

[@breadeater1972]

5:23 apparently its the adjective for piney, as in the wood.

[@Joseph125]

Just finished a run on this with a 6-letter deck. Sword of Memory, Helmet of Accumulation, every turn just go HI, ID, IN and scale into the next turn. Would have taken a T if it was ever offered. It felt utterly broken. Can't wait to see Tyler try other characters.

[@CaTastrophy427]

Piny is a variant spelling of Piney, which means "of, like, or full of pines" (the pines in question, of course, being pine trees). For example, "This forest is piny" means that the forest has a lot of pine trees.

Hey man, keep an eye out for a game called Desktop Dungeons, it's a classic that was one of the games that got me into roguelikes in the first place. You're pretty good at these kinds of games though, dont think the game will be simple forever when you first pick it up, the farther you get the harder it gets and starts requiring very good understanding of mechanics. There's a 3d version coming out soon as well, demo dropped the other day.

8:34 "Waver" was also a possibility, but I don't think it would have gotten you more damage. 13:46 "Poor" would also have worked, but it would have just been overkill. 15:07 "Prawn" would definitely have worked there, especially if you wanted to kill the first guy in line. 22:53 "Podge" might also have worked. (n., informal term for someone short and chubby) 34:42 "Pity" would also have worked. 38:18 "Vial" was another option, I'm not sure if it would have netted as many points as Log did.
