Achievements: All very possible and reasonable. You can even adjust the difficulty to get them if you need to. I am in love with the fact that, despite there being a multiplayer mode, there are no multiplayer achivements being forced upon the player. How great is that?

+Addicting
+Great mechanics for bosses, all unique
+Nice way to improve type speed
+Decent length for the price(Took me ~5 hours)
+Can I mention again how great it is that there's no multiplayer achievements?
+The Greek aesthetic was really cool and well implemented
+Upgrade system
+The armor/weapons really changed up gameplay and I liked how they showed up on your character
+The ability to shuffle the letters was a really nice touch

-Some bosses required you to spell out a seven letter word when it may not have been possible (or maybe my vocabulary is lacking). This meant you had to renew the letters again and again (costing time) until you could spell one. It got a little annoying, but most boss fights had ample time.
-It's a very fast-paced game and there are time limits to each fight
-Being so fast-paced, it's not a great way to expand your vocabulary. Most fights I spammed words that sounded kinda correct without looking if they actually were.

Overall, God of Word was fun. It felt really similar to Letter Quest, and I enjoyed that as well. It is timed, though. Some may be discouraged that this is not a turn-based game. You can, however, essentially overcome the quick-paced aspect of the game by lowering the difficulty. I don't think it has any affect on achievements. Other than that, I quite enjoyed this game. It was exactly what was advertised: a word/typing game.

I just finished God of Word and I must say that I was pleasantly suprised by this word scramble / typing game.

Most of the levels are word scrambles where you get 7 letters that you need to spell (type) as many words as required to kill the enemies and move on. The player is on a timer for each part of the level and is able to swap out letter sets for a 10sec penalty. The bulk of these levels have 3 parts which will mostly be standard enemies but sometimes will consist of 'hangman' or 'open chest' games. Hangman should be pretty self explanatory and the 'open chest' consists of making one 6-7 letter word out of supplied letters without being able to swap letter sets. As you progress through the game, certain enemies may be vulnerable to 5 letter words but take reduced damage or even no damage for 4 or 6 letter words and so on...this prevents the player from using the same mindset for all levels and keeps things interesting. Also, special tiles have a chance to appear at random when letters reappear after being used which can cause more damage or add time to spell words for that fight.

Some levels (maybe 1/6 or so) will be typing oriented levels where words will move towards the player in the form of boulders, spears etc. and the player must type in the word correctly before it reaches them or die!! I had the most difficulty on these levels because they are entirely typing oriented. I did find however, that I got better at these as the campaign progressed do to the amount of typing done in the normal levels. Boss levels play out similar to normal enemies but have additional conditions to keep things fresh!! An example of this would be a timer on a tile that if the timer runs out before that letter is used, the boss will regain health etc.

The campaign consists of 5 acts with about 10 normal levels each, with a few typing and boss levels thrown into each act. There are also 6 persistent upgrades that can be purchased with experience gained in the campaign. These include additional hangman guesses, more time, more damage, higher chance of special tiles etc. Finally there are potions (add damage or time) who's effects can be upgraded and equipable weapons and armor (one each) that add special abilities / conditions and can be upgraded. Potions and armor / weapons are puchased and upgraded with gold earned by playing the game.

Throw in an Endless Mode for both word scramble and typing games and there is a good amount of content and replayability!!

All in all I thought God of Word was a great word scramble / typing game for a great price!! If these types of games interest you, this is surely one worth checking out!!

Tremendous fun and very hard in places. Slightly ironic though that one of the achievements was spelt incorrectly "Benelovent".

This is a word scrambler game. While it does have some other word games, such as hangman or speed typing. It deals mostly with having a list of letters and making words out of them.
Where this game really shines is the boss battles.
So far, I've only dealt with 2 bosses, but both had a special gimmick required to defeat them, and a massive amount of health. This makes the already challenging game a super challenge. But I'm having fun doing it.

If you like word games, you shoud definitely check this one out.

I'll recommend this one, but with a little caution. If you're looking for a game with extremely deep typing physics - it's not here. If you're looking for a game where you like to type - you've found it. In short, medium-paced game that increases in difficulty gradually. Enough challenge to keep the player entertained (for some time).

God of Word gameplay is average. There is a campaign mode where there are side quests and challenges available along the way. Some of the bosses on the side quests prove to be challenging, especially when the game imposes certain rules to complete challenges. For example, a player must only use words that are verbs or words that end (or begin with) certain letters. Although the game is simple this is the edge the game provides to give it a thumbs up. The player may recycle letters if no words are available to form, but at a cost. The player's goal is to beat the time to charge their attack before the moment of attack, so the decision doesn't always come easy!

The graphics and visuals are suitable to the game's atmosphere. It is nothing too over the top, though does remind me of the good old mini-clip days animation style. There is no major particle effects or anything too insane over the top. The game does provide the essentials to keep the player entertained. The musics and sounds again are suitable to the playing environment. Nothing too fancy or over the top, but does change as the levels progress.

Overall, would recommend for a sale purchase price. If you're overly enthusiastic about typing games - go for the full price

As a big fan of typing and word games, I threw this game right onto my wishlist and acquired it shortly thereafter. Based on the looks of the game, I launched the game expecting to like it. However, I didn't expect to like it quite as much as I did. So what made this title such a surprise?

Without a doubt, the answer is the mechanics of the game. I am going to brush over almost everything else, well, because everything else about the game isn't worth more than a brushing over. The graphics are unique but not out of this world, the music is the one aspect of the game I can't even remember (admittedly this review comes a few months after I last played), the story is intentionally simple... quite honestly most of the things about this game feel pretty low production. Don't get me wrong, I don't think there is anything wrong with a game being low production, it does not a bad game make, but what I am getting at is the bells and whistle aren't going to be the factors that draw you into this game. All that being said, there is a certain charm to the game that I did enjoy, so don't come away from this review thinking everything but the gameplay is garbage.

So where was I? Ah yes, the mechanics! The gameplay is very simply another take on word unscrambler games such as the once popular "Word Whomp" for the browser or the more topically relevant Letter Quest: Grimm's Journey. You, playing as Hermes, are running along to your destination, as Hermes is wont to do, but all of a sudden you find a series of deadly mythical creatures trying to kill you in your path. You must "attack" these monsters by spelling words using a set of tiles you are given, each word is an attack based on the length of the word you typed. After a set period of time, the enemy will attack you back, so quick fingers, type those words fast!

It all is rather quite simple, and while there is an array of enemies with varying attacks, treasure chests you have to open via a mini-gama a la hangman, upgradeable armor and weapons, and so on, none of these systems adds any significant depth to the game (I don't mean this negatively). If I were to have a problem with the game, however, it would be with the difficulty (I found it to be rather easy, even on the harder difficulty setting) and the fact that the always moving background of the top half of the screen was at times dizzying.

All said and done, I do recommend this game. If you are a word game aficionado then there is no reason not to include this title in your library. It's a pleasurable little romp with a little bit of B-movie charm to it. I will caution however that while I recommend this game in general, there are other games out there with the same style of gameplay that offer a better overall quality experience. Letter Quest: Grimm's Journey (Remastered) and Spellspire offer an almost identical gameplay experience, all three (including this title) have RPG elements on top of the gameplay basics. While I believe the other two may offer slightly better productions, I don't necessarily recommend one over another. If you find the theme and setting of this game more pleasing or more enticing, by all accounts I encourage you to give this title a try. And if you want my completely honest opinion, I'd recommend you get all three!

One final note: I do believe this game supports dictionaries of quite a few languages, so if you don't speak English natively check the supported languages, this game may support it!

God of Word is a typing game that has a pretty good overall feel to it.

God of War has an smooth and fun gameplay to it, especially if you like typing games. The way the game is made is a sleek and follows traditional typing games. The setting of this game is that you are "putting on a show" so the graphics match that accordingly (it is all play like). There are a multitude of levels and for me the game took 8 hours to beat (Oh and beating the game gives you an 100% completion :D). There are powerup blocks and basically you have to meet the score needed before the time runs out. So in God of War, you are against the timer. However, you can buy powerups from the store making the game scale as you level up and move up. The music for the game is good as well, and it fits the style of the game.

On the other side, God of War was a bit repetitive because I ended up using the same words almost over and over again. There are difficulty levels in the game so you can choose to make the game easier or harder, but overall it is kind of repetitive. You end up fighting the same kinds of bad guys and monsters (apart from the bosses) over and over again, although it doesn't really matter because you are focused and concentrated on the typing. I am generally a fast typer, so once I started to realize the pool of words I could spam, the game became not much of a challenge. I think I only failed and died 4 times in my whole run.

Overall, good typing game and a relatively easy 100% achievement game.

Rating: 7.9/10
Recommend Price: $1.99 or below

A fun word-spelling game set in ancient Greece but with a goofy "low budget community theater" aesthetic. But the aesthetic clearly mirrors the actual game itself: lovingly crafted on a shoestring budget. My only complaint is the fact that the difficulty ramps up dramatically during the final third of the game at a point when I had already leveled my character to the maximum. Luckily, the devs allow you to fiddle with the difficulty at any time without penalty, so I simply finished the game on easy rather than normal. Still, while a functional way to finish the game, it does however cheapen the sense of accomplishment. Late-game balancing aside, I loved my time with this title, loved the very manageable achievements and very much appreciated being approached by the devs to tell me about the game before its release. Well done!

I practice typing every day, and it has worked to get my typing skills back after some brain damage. God of Word helps with typing skills, but more, it helps with skills in finding words and spelling. Plus it is fun!

I will leave this cat here, so that everybody who passes by can pet it and give it a thumbs up and awards
