Wordsmiths, rejoice! A new roguelike word game, Letterlike, is here, blending the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique experience where vocabulary meets unpredictable roguelike gameplay – a truly novel combination!
Crafting Words in Letterlike
Letterlike's roguelike nature ensures each playthrough offers a fresh challenge with procedurally generated letter sets and obstacles. The possibilities are endless, leading to countless victories.
Each game begins with a set of letters. Your objective: create meaningful words, accumulate points, and conquer levels. Each level comprises three rounds.
To progress, you must achieve a sufficient point total by forming high-scoring words, similar to Scrabble. However, you only have five attempts (lives) per round, demanding strategic wordplay.
Facing an unpromising letter combination? Don't despair! You can discard letters, but this option is limited, so choose wisely.
A handy rearrange mode allows you to drag, drop, and shuffle letters to optimize your word creation.
The final round of each level introduces a twist: certain letters become useless, yielding zero points.
Earned points and rewards unlock various power-ups to enhance future runs. Some buffs are automatically applied, while others require reaching specific levels. Collected gems facilitate the acquisition of powerful upgrades, simplifying subsequent playthroughs.
Ready to Give It a Try?
Letterlike boasts a simple, minimalist design, yet delivers engaging gameplay. The game allows replaying specific runs with friends using shared seeds. Share those frustrating letter combinations and let your friends experience the agony (or triumph!) as well.
Letterlike is ad-free with a one-time purchase and offers offline play. A free demo version is available, allowing you to test the waters before committing. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give the demo a shot.
