Much like other bullet-heaven games, <em>Glyphica <\/em>revolves around fending off endless crowds of enemies by gradually building an arsenal of bullet-spewing weapons. Rather than passively mowing down hordes of hostiles, however, surviving in <em>Glyphica <\/em>requires quick reflexes and even faster fingers.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of auto-firing or manually aiming your shots, <em>Glyphica <\/em>has you deliver attacks by typing out the words that appear above each enemy. At the start of a run, most enemies can be defeated with only one or two words. However, it won&#8217;t take long for the difficulty to ramp up and enemies to appear in faster variants, bigger hordes, and tougher defenses that require lengthier vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, you won&#8217;t have to type out everything that appears on-screen. As you level up by gaining experience from defeated enemies, you will be able to acquire new weapons and upgrade the ones you&#8217;ve already collected.

However, this isn&#8217;t as simple as building a structure and passively watching the money roll in. Instead, you&#8217;ll type through a variety of minigames revolving around different activities, such as detonating rocks in the mine, planting and harvesting crops on the farm, or prepping meals at a cook-off. At the same time, you&#8217;ll also use the keyboard to guide your army around the map to confront enemy forces and expand your town.<\/p>\n<p>Managing all of these tasks simultaneously can get hectic\u2014especially in later levels\u2014yet <em>Touch Type Tale <\/em>makes balancing these tasks feel remarkably seamless. Rather than digging through cluttered menus or an overly complicated UI, <em>Touch Type Tale<\/em> is controlled entirely through your keyboard. Swapping between different tasks is as easy as typing a single word. Activities are displayed through a small window at the bottom of the screen, making it easy to multitask between city planning, resource gathering, and combat strategizing.<\/p>\n<p>Everything I&#8217;ve described only scratches the surface of <em>Touch Type Tale<\/em>. The lengthy campaign constantly introduces mechanics and minigames throughout its many levels.

Instead, you receive a handful of requests to write letters from various clients and can select which task you&#8217;d like to complete. Each request provides a brief description of the client&#8217;s background and the purpose of the letter, but it&#8217;s up to you to deliver their message in your own words.<\/p>\n<p>You won&#8217;t be graded on your letters or receive feedback based on what you wrote; the requests are essentially creative writing prompts. Being that your letters are written on a typewriter, you don&#8217;t have a backspace to erase any mistakes, but there&#8217;s otherwise nothing to stop you from writing whatever you want.

While it didn&#8217;t invent the concept of typing games, <em>The Typing of the Dead<\/em> was one of the first games to present them as more than a teaching tool, having originally appeared in arcades before coming over to home consoles and PCs.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Typing of the Dead <\/em>is essentially an altered version of <em>The House of the Dead 2 <\/em>that replaces the iconic rail-shooter&#8217;s light gun controllers with a pair of QWERTY keyboards. Instead of aiming and shooting, you rapid-fire various words and nonsensical phrases from your keyboard. Despite its completely different peripheral, <em>The Typing of the Dead <\/em>shares the same high-energy and explosive fun of the shooter it&#8217;s based on. Whether you&#8217;re violently blasting through foes with vocabulary or confronting bosses with rapid key presses, seeing your touch typing skills improve is just as fun as gunning through the undead hordes. Best of all, you can team up with a friend in the game&#8217;s local multiplayer mode.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, <em>The Typing of the Dead <\/em>and its direct sequel\u2014<em>The Typing of the Dead 2\u2014<\/em>aren&#8217;t officially available on any modern platforms.

You manage your limited inventory by typing out commands to pick up, use, or drop specific items. Exposition-filled computer logs are read by typing out a transcript against a short timer. Combat plays very similarly to <em>The Typing of the Dead<\/em>, but requires you to be mindful of your limited ammunition. Even movement is handled by typing out words and phrases, often adding to the tension of trying to escape from the horrifying creatures that roam the game&#8217;s blood-soaked hallways.<\/p>\n<p><em>Blood Typers <\/em>is a fantastic horror game in its own right, but the added challenge of being a typing game makes it a must-play for any die-hard horror fan.
