    Quite simply, there is more value to be found here than in many sixty dollar titles that line store shelves.

    As a fan of Scrabble, Boggle, and other word games, this is a nice alternative for when I can't get some friends around to play one of the board games.

    f you want a cheap game you can have a proper gaming session with and pull an all-nighter to complete, this isn’t for you. This is a good game for people that want to pass a few minutes, but minutes can turn to hours quicker than you’d think. You’ve been warned.

    Ultimately this feels like a one trick pony that has been stretched to every conceivable limit. Though it may be initially enchanting, it won’t take long before Grimm’s spell wears off, leaving players wondering if getting some pizza is really worth all of the hassle.

    There are 2 main modes: Story and Endless mode.

    Story mode has you clearing different stages. Where you have to make words with the letters you get. The more letters the more damage you do on the monsters you have to beat. When you beat a stage you are rewarded with gems which you can spent to buy upgrades and or potions. What you'll be needing to beat the stronger monsters later in the game.

    Endless mode is kind of a survival mode where you just keep going and going defeating monsters untill you HP bar is empty. Probably the only mode you will come back to after you have cleared the story.

    This game gets very repetitive after you've done some stages. Just making words gets boring when you aren't really rewarded. This game could've been much better if there was a multiplayer mode. Or even an online leaderboard where you can compare your scores.

    So should you get this game? If you have PS plus. Why not it's free this month.
    Otherwise i would say there are better ways to spend your money. Only get this game if you are a true hardcore puzzle fan.    … Full Review »

    The basic principle is you fight enemies by spelling words to gain hit points, whilst their words damage your life meter. Power ups and developing your little guy are the main RPG elements that carry across charmingly. The game is very easy to pick up as a casual player and appeals for short gaming sessions. I tend to like strategy and like word based puzzles, so Letter Quest felt like a good change from the AAA titles i've been putting alot more hours into.

    I think its biggest flaw is in the questing itself. They are often as basic as spelling x2 words in a round with a given letter. I was ready for a harder challenge after 30 quests and never really got that in the later game. The game is ultimately an endless succession of enemies that have various weaknesses to exploit and grind through. The only enemies that really feel like they utilised the RPG element were those that only took damage from low count words. This meant you had to think of high-powered 3 letter words, alike scrabble, vowels are worth 1 point and you get bonuses for using Y,J,X,K,P,W, Z etc .. it's simple and will appeal to scrabble boffs.

    It's not a bad game at all, but with only a 1 player campaign + endless mode, I felt it really lacked a good head to head and online multiplayer modes.

    Fun game for a budget price - any scrabble gamer will enjoy the challenge im sure 6/10    … Full Review »
