About as fun as a spelling test.
Letter quest remastered is a puzzle game where you play as a little grim reaper dude out to grab some pizza
and I love pizza as much as the next guy... but coming up with words for 8 hours to get some? No thanks
there’s a bit of charm here in this RPG meets scrabble game...
You’re given a bunch of random letters and you do some turn based combat with enemies using those letters...
Your goal is to come up with the best word possible, and you know your boy superken from superkengaming has the vocabulary of a 3rd grader, so this wasn’t the best game for me to flex my spelling skills on..
The bigger the word with the better more challenging to use letters the more damage you do to enemies, and enemies will attack back.. However not with letters... they just get free damage... and their can do things like mess with your letters, giving them poison effects or breaking them so that they give you no points for a certain amount of turns..
Definitely stacking the deck against you...
and as the game progresses more effects are put into play and enemies get spongier and spongier... this is how the game challenges you... with sponge…
thankfully enemies drop gems when you beat them allowing you to upgrade your weapon, health, and armor... you can even buy spell books to give you an advantage such as the letter e giving you health every time you use it, and these bonuses are leveled up while using them…
But its apparent with its boss battles and later stages that this game wants you to replay the same levels over and over... to grind for gems to upgrade your gear…
As boss battles for example will have a ridiculous rule attached to them like the enemy only takes damages from words that start with vowels…
again I only know like 3 words that start with a vowel.. rough time for me…
so I threw my gems at the shop for some health potions to give myself a better chance because I wasn’t about to go back and replay levels to grind for gems… levels are samey enough as it is
Why grinding is ultimately a problem is that this game gets old insanely fast..
The different tiles and effects don’t keep it interesting... the battles don’t get more interesting...
there are 40 levels total here, and all of them are just defeat enemy after enemy, occasionally get a shop to refill your health a little or do a wheel of fortune style game for a perk before the next battle..
And if you die you have to restart the level all over again...
it’s a spelling test that never ends
And if you want that... there literally is an endless mode…
Letter Quest starts cute, but gets really challenging and really tiring fast
it’s a play a level once every few years kind of game more than it is beat in sitting kind of game
it’s that repetitive
I give Letter Quest Remastered
a 5/10… Expand
