Letters & Legends

In [i]Letters & Legends[/i] dominate your rivals with the might of words, watching them crumble before you as you spell out their fate. [h3]Gameplay & Features[/h3] Setting options include; Audio controls, Difficulty slider, Show clock (or hide it), Pulse effects on or off and a link to the credits, tutorial and rules. The game does auto-save. In Letters & Legends you make words to battle your enemies and depending on which class you use (Mage, Brute or Rogue) will determine what type of words hold more power. Words with 5 letters or more buff the Mage, if you use all of the letters in a row or column it empowers the Brute and if you use shorter words it enhances the Rogue’s skills. Unique challenges level up your characters and there are over 40 magical items to find to enhance your gameplay such as a stopwatch to to give you extra time to weapons that will add extra damage. Certain tiles in the game will have special powers such as fire, heal, poison, electric, ice, locked tiles and more. Some attacks can inflict status effects (negative or positive) on either you or your enemies. Positive effects such as buffing strength, increasing defense or regen tiles that recover some health every turn. Or negative effects such as lower strength, missing a turn or bleed where you lose health every turn. Your inventory holds special drinks or potions that improve your chances of winning a round. The game is divided up into 5 chapters with a lot of levels within each chapter. Some are special chapters devoted to each specific character, others are story driven and some are extra challenging. [h3]Tips N Tricks[/h3] * When you go into your items tab press “Potion Shop” (blue button under the list of potions you own on the right). It will switch over to the item shop and you can buy the item of the day. * For windowed mode just hit alt + window and resize to your desired size. (It won’t give you the option in settings to change display settings. * For all the characters level them up in the first chapter. Each has their own unique level only for them. For the Mage you cannot inflict any damage on the enemy but when you get to your last turn he will self-destruct and you’ll win the round. Just hold out long enough by having a few extra potions in your inventory if you need them. [h3]Shortcomings[/h3] I do not have many gripes with this game, it is fun and challenging. I just wish when we scrolled over the enemies card or clicked it, it would tell us their strengths and abilities. It tells you at the start of the round but if you forget there is no way to click on their card to get the stats again. [h3]Overall Experience[/h3] Overall this game is fun and has hours of entertainment for the price point. If you like games like Bookworm this one will be right up your alley. It is challenging but starts off easy and ramps up per chapter. Recommended for word game lovers! IndieGems wishes to thank [i]Bow & Arrow Games[/i] for providing a free review copy for this game.

This gave me massive nostalgia feels and I was delighted to find something like this word puzzle spell-a-thon. The comparisons to Bookworm adventures are inevitable but warranted - this is certainly a knowing tribute and fond homage, with a similar setup and structure to that classic. Battle ever increasingly difficult enemies using your faithful word grid, some power ups and your personal lexicon, for better or worse! But it is so much more than that, it's an improvement in every way. There's a choice of characters to play with differing strengths and weaknesses, a lovely art style, multiple challenge types and a fine bestiary to battle against. While perfect for kids and adult wordsmiths, make no mistake that this game can be fiendish at times and gets difficult towards the end - you will be challenged, but you can always take a step back and replenish your powers so you don't get stuck. It's all very nicely structured and thought through and hugely satisfying when you notice that killer word. Not short either, it will probably take around 10 hours to complete and get all achievements, and another 5-10 to complete every bonus level so you'll be getting great value for money too. I always enjoy games where the thought and effort is apparent, and in this case topped off by a responsive and helpful (single) dev which makes all the difference. The entire game is just making words from a random set, so if that sounds boring to you then stay away but I reckon most everyone who enjoys a word puzzle now and again will be enamoured with this.

You make words to kill stuff That's what you do There's monsters and bosses And undead things too It's a phone game, you see But plays fine on PC It's fun and so cheap It feels almost free See the trailer above That's all I can say To play this fine game You must buy it today

Being a fan of Bookworm Adventures, I really like and enjoy playing this game! Very challenging at times, which is a good thing. Flexibility with purchasing items to help you win levels. I constantly search for word rpg roguelike games such as this one. Word games are my favorite. To the developer, thank you very much for this Bookworm Adventures inspired game and give us more! We definitely need more BWA-like word games. Was previously waiting for the finished version of Writer's Block to be released, Letters & Legends has filled the void! *Besides Bookworm Adventures, I have also compared this game to Orbi's Chronicles, Paperback Adventures, Spellspire, Scroodles, Letter Quest: Grimm's Journey, Syllablade and Word Charmer.

Responsive developer - added an accessibility option based on feedback.

Thoroughly recommend Letters & Legends. An obvious premise with familiar gameplay, but that's part of its charm. The game is simple to pick up, yet there's enough strategy to give it depth and a satisfying challenge as you progress. For just a couple of quid, there's very little to lose and plenty of fun to gain. Definitely worth a buy.

Super fun word game to play solo. Lots of different challenges. Give this game a try and you wont regret it, worth full price!

This game is so well thought out and simply amazing. If this is your kind of game, just get it. For the full price I paid, I feel the dev(s) got cheated. The levels are plenty and it gets very challenging very fast. I would love to see a few save files so my nephew could start from scratch. He's 11 years old and this is part of his homework. He's home schooled. You will put MANY hours into this if you want to beat the game. I've just unlocked the 4th world and cannot wait for what's ahead. Thank you for this!~
