Wordlike - Word Roguelike App Reviews

the blank tiles are cool

I love word games but get bored of ones that don’t involve enough strategy or challenges in them. This combines the simple fun of making words with the strategy of figuring out how to multiply your points. Fun art for the Knick knacks too. Well worth it, stands out from a lot of the other attempts at this idea!

Played on desktop and so glad it’s finally on mobile! The knickknacks really give this game a lot more replayability than most word games.

Great alternative to NYT word games if you’re bored of those. Been playing this and reading Jade City by Fonda Lee to pass my time on the weekends.

I’m loving this word game it’s so fun and challenging to play.

I don’t normally write reviews but I was really impressed by this. Definitely has a lot of elements of Balatro, so if you’ve played that you’ll pick it up quickly. The word-based items (like giving you mult for nouns or certain letters) do a lot to make it feel unique though. Have only played it for a couple days but have already found several really fun builds. I also shared it my mom who loves word games. It was definitely a steeper learning curve for her (mostly to get the hang of the scorin

Plays a lot like a blend of Balatro and Scrabble. If that sounds appealing, then the game is definitely for you. The developer is actively engaged with the players and improving the game.

I am obsessed with this game!!!! It’s like a word game combined with a strategy game and it’s the perfect level of challenging but doable. Also it doesn’t have annoying ads like other word games which makes the experience so much nicer

Even in its early stages of design, this game plays and feels exceptional. Every element feels well balanced and the UI is perfect. It really has the same strengths as Balatro since it follows the game loop so closely, but brings a fantastic mechanic to make a unique identity. I think more modifiers and further customization would propel this game into the same conversation as its influences.

Am I missing something or are there no saved stats? High Score, Best Word ect.?

The strategies behind the scoring and bonuses make this game a super refreshing take on a traditional build-a-word game. Definitely one that gets better the more you play. 100% worth it; it’s a great addition to my word game to station.

The game is extremely fun and in the discord server they do show plans of an endless mode!!! You should definitely play this game!!

Very intuitive and fun! Pretty similar to balatro in terms of the structure of runs, but does its own thing with the whole letter-tile system. 100% recommend it

I wanted to like this because I like word games and I like Balatro. Unfortunately they left out things that make Balatro more fun and added too much stuff that distract from the game. I don’t even need it to be so much like Balatro which would be fine, but this is like a not great attempt of making a scrabble plus Balatro game.
