There are others such as freezing Lex for a turn, or locking some of the letters so that you can’t use them for a few rounds, and there are others too. The simplest ability is “an attack that damages Lex”.

Wait, abilities? What do you mean? Abilities are skills (or attack types) that each monster has. Well, you don’t have to, but bosses usually have a lot of health and a lot of abilities. Each boss battle is tougher than the miniions (as expected, of course), meaning you have to form a more than 4 letter words consistently to win. On each location, you’ll usually encounter several monsters that you need to defeat, and at the end of the battle, you’ll meet with the monster boss of the location. There are a few chapters in the story and each chapter consists of several map locations. So if you can form a 6-letter word, it will be far more damaging than a 3-letter word, for example. The longer you form the words, the more powerful your attack is. You reduce enemies’ health by forming words from letters that are given to you at the start of each battle (random).

It’s turn based, so you attack first, and then the enemy, and so on. You start with a few health (defined with the heart symbol on the top left of the screen) and as you level up (by defeating monsters), you’ll get more health.Įnemies have health too (which is displayed on the top right of the screen) and by reducing their health to zero, you’ll win the round. The interface is intuitive, however you need your mouse to click on the letters to form words (You can’t use your keyboards, unfortunately) You won’t see a 3D graphics with anti aliasing options, texture mapping and such, but the graphic still looks great on your computer.
