Letterlike in IOS

A roguelike word game!

Our Expert Score

90/100

Letterlike is a brilliant mashup that I didn't know I needed. By combining the 'spelling' mechanics of Bookworm Adventures with the 'run-based' progression of Slay the Spire, it creates a gameplay loop that is genuinely addictive. You aren't just finding words; you are managing a cooldown system where every letter used has a cost. Do you use your only 'S' to finish a small word now, or hold out for a massive 'STRENGTH' play that could one-shot a boss?

The roguelike elements are perfectly implemented. The artifacts you collect throughout a run can drastically change your strategy, turning certain vowels into bombs or making consonant-heavy words act as shields. The procedural generation ensures that you never see the same dungeon twice, and the 'Knowledge' points you earn upon death make the 'just one more run' feeling very real. It’s a smart, polished, and intellectually stimulating game that every word puzzle fan should own.

Letterlike combines the strategic depth of a roguelike with the fun of a word game. Each level of the dungeon is a grid of letters. To move or attack, you must spell words. Longer words deal more damage and grant better rewards. With procedurally generated floors and permadeath, every run is unique. Unlock new characters with different abilities to help you reach the top of the tower in this clever mashup.
