Letter Quest: Grimm's Journey is a well-made word game that incorporates RPG elements to give a semblance of progression. There's a good amount of playable levels and you can expect to sink about 20 hours into it (which is great for the asking price). One thing I quite like about the game is the mild challenge it provides by having special conditions on the crystal levels. You won't just be relying on the same words over and over again since you'll be asked to spell palindromes, use corner letters, use a minimum of 5 letters per word, and a lot more. Right now they just need to add more definitions from various sources but other than that the game is quite good. I would definitely recommend it especially since the price is quite reasonable.

So i was a big fan of "Bookworm Adventures" by "Popcap Games" really enjoyed that little series they did , but as soon as i saw this i knew i was gonna buy it.

This game is like "Bookworm Adventures" in ways but thats not a bad thing they dropped in more rpg aspect adding there ingredient to the pot making it there own , the game has so much to offer !

(They need to fix steam overlay on the game couldnt have it fullscreen and speak to peeps ah well)
I have 100% this game and it gave me about 20 - 21 hours so yes i do recommend it great game ^_^

This game is excellent - very addicting. Thanks to game sharing through steam my husband and I can both have our own achievements; unfortunately we totally fight over whose turn it is to play the game. I also put this game on my android phone so I can get my fix when he's being a jerk and hogging the game.

Letter Quest is a pretty fun word game with light RPG mechanics. Essentially, you're a grim reaper-looking dude who's on a quest to get pizza - a much more relatable story than many other games I can think of. On the way, he has to fight monsters, such as ghosts, snakes and giant rabbits - just like going to the corner pizza place in real life. You defeat monsters by spelling words on a Boggle-like board, doing more damage for longer words or words with less common letters. Then you earn points that you can use to buy upgrades.
The game does get a tad repetitive after a while, but it's a fun thing to play for a little while here and there. My only serious complaint is that the game is a mobile port - not a problem in itself, but there are a few cases here and there where it really shows, with instructions to "tap" a button, for example - just little things not exactly meaningful when you're playing on a PC instead of a tablet or some such.

This is not a bad game! Of the two recent titles that resemble Bookworm Adventures (the other being Words for Evil), this is the more RPG of the pair. It's turn-based, so you can take your time in assembling words and figure out what to do.

That said, while it's not a bad game, I found myself enjoying it less and less as the game went on and it began adding in more and more conditions to the enemies, or the "challenge" stages that consisted of nothing but "enemies have 2x HP". This is a game that expects you to replay earlier levels for more currency to unlock new items every once in a while, and maybe return to them to unlock new paths on "Hard Stages". If you just play the "required" levels, the game actually ends quite early, and there's a bonus world at the end which is sort of an HP sponge slog.

I will also admit I dislike this game's dictionary - it feels incredibly limited, which is ill-suited for a game wherein you need to create words it recognizes as such to play. I know I'm being negative here, but I'm just pointing out that this is not my jam and maybe look at that other title I mentioned if it doesn't click for you. There's a demo to try out which I highly recommend, because this one is gonna be polarizing by playstyle.

Letter Quest: Grimm's Journey is a solid title that has plenty of unlockables, enemies waiting to be defeated by your ability to construct words, a story that might make you hungry, an experience appropriate for your children, and an expert mode once you progress far enough in the game.

The gameplay consists of spelling words and utilizing beneficial tiles while avoiding the bad ones as much as possible. The protagonists in the game has different base stats that determine evasion, hp, critical chance, and more. These affect the battles in significant ways and are able to be upgraded in the in-game shop. There are also hangman sections where you guess the word to get the treasure in the chest and merchant sections that allow you to buy items in between battles. It's been quite the bug-free experience too.

The game recognizes a fair amount of words. You can spell slurs, but the game will not recognize them unless they have a non-vulgar definition. Every now and then, an odd definition might pop up (definitions are provided for your perusal after spelling and submitting a word).

This game favors people that are familiar with English. For non-native speakers, I suggest using some aids due to a possible "grindy" nature the game can take on if you can't spell 4-8 letter words regularly. Keep the "ings" and "eds" in mind for increasing word length like winged and winging or touched and touching.

The art style is clean, clear, crisp, and cute. And maybe another c word. Clover? Anyway, some of the special tile sets that you can use vary in their readability. I like the default one and the transparent style. The Word With Friends style made my eyes water when trying to decipher the font. I suppose I'll never play Words With Friends.

I had a good amount of fun with this title as I do enjoy words. If you like spelling and enjoy Scrabble (this is a single player game with some leaderboards, I believe), then feel free to pick it up. You'll get hours of enjoyment and challenge for a fair price. If you ever see this game on sale, then you can definitely pick it up without doubts.

P.S.
It's far superior to its mobile version. It's always a wonder to see triple A ports that can't even support proper resolutions.

This game has like letters and a litle guy with this scythe and stuff and its pretty fun because you gotta type words to like kill these monsters and snakes and dudes with hammers and stuff and like its pretty fun but you'll die a lot if you don't know words and also the letter Q is useless man I hate latter alot what a fun game though I'm tired

The great word game with nice RPG elements. A lot of upgrades, interesting challenges and nice warmup for brain.

This little game is highly addictive. It is challenging but one way or another you can manage it. I love to play a couple of rounds in between other activities. The RPG elements of upgrading your character and equipment are a really nice addition. Also there are a lot of extra quests to complete. This is brain training made fun!

I can't stop playing this game - it's wonderful. You ought to buy this immediately for yourself and anyone who likes puzzles, words, and beating up monsters.

We’re back with an educational review today with LetterQuest: Grimm’s Journey!
In this game, you play as what might be described as the most adorable Grim Reaper in history, going through a variety of levels in which you use set amounts of letters to form words to defeat random ghosts and other monster things.

We’re sure it makes sense somewhere, but who cares, this ♥♥♥♥ is ADORABLE!

Basically, your goal is to form letters of as high a level of complexity as you can manage with the available letters, in order to score points, damage enemies, and thus progress in the level. Think Bookworm Deluxe with RPG elements, essentially.

It helpfully gives you a description of the word you just typed out too, though some oddities were spotted. Didn’t look ‘em up though, so for all we know, they might be right.

The sound work is decent, the graphics are good (and adorable), and the gameplay does what it has to, and even teaches you stuff. Definitely recommended!

Kouen & Lasharus rate this game 8/10

This game is amazing. It adds my love of words and reading with my love of video games. If you want a game to test your skill and knowledge of words, then this is the game for you!

Oh, also. The dev I talk to is one of the coolest guys ever!

Solid 9/10

I started playing this game after trying out a few word games and this is by far the best one out there; it has some RPG elements, it has nice colors and even a nice little story. What I actually prefer the most though are the challenges and the special conditions on some levels. Instead of just pushing you to find the longest word possible (still not a bad thing however), the game will push you to find different kinds of shorter words. I find that, all in all, this game is not only really enjoyable, it is also a good way to improve your vocabulary. More so, while going through the community hub, I found that the devs are really involved in making this the best game possible for everyone (i.e. the colourblind fix update).

there is education in this game.
english is not my base language,
playing this game can increase my english

thank you for developer who make this good game.
i like this game.

Letter Quest Grimm’s Journey is a casual, turn-based RPG word game with light RPG elements. It’s very similar to the Bookworm games from PopCap Games, but is harder and also has more content in it. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the better game between the two, but let’s dig deeper and find out, shall we ?

You start the game by ‘controlling’ a grim reaper named Grimm. You don’t actually control him directly; the game automatically moves the character forward if necessary. Later on you can unlock and control another grim reaper, a girl named Rose. Both characters use separate stats, so it’s not just another design. They actually impact gameplay.
The game works with levels, and each level has additional, separate/optional challenges that can be completed. There are 40 levels in total; technically 160 if you count all of the challenges, of course.

Small tutorials (tips & hints might be a better description, though) are gradually introduced during gameplay. Most things speak for themselves, but there are a few things that are important. There are levels where you have to use a certain amount of letters (or avoid using a specific amount), use letters in corners, start words with a vowel, et cetera. These challenges are usually used in challenge levels and in boss levels. Normally you can just create the words that you want, as long as you have the letters for it. But these have to be in English, which might be a bit tricky for international users who hardly speak the language. Don’t worry though, you can play the game just fine by creating smaller and easier words; it’s just that it might take you a little longer. That’s right, there’s no time limit. Since it’s turn-based there’s no need to rush (unless it’s a challenge). You can take your time, but once you submit your word you’ll be immediately attacked by your opponent.
Word tiles will also change from time to time; there are poison tiles that will poison you (really !) if you use it in a word, and there are duplicator tiles that you duplicate certain letters (really !). There are even more of them, but I can’t remember them all, especially with my terrible memory.

There are books that can be unlocked that might give you more health, or do more damage, but these have to be bought from the store with crystals. Crystals can be found by defeating enemies, opening chests and getting to the end of a level. Earning these takes a lot of time and you’ll be frequently doing challenges and replaying levels in order to earn more of them. But you can also complete challenges. There are 70 in total and each one that you complete grants you 200 crystals.

More stuff can be bought from the store; there are weapons with different stats (one that heals you a little for each word that you submit or one that does more damage), and these can usually also be upgraded. You can also buy potions, better gear and books to improve your skills in combat, which is almost a must, because the game gets incredibly hard fast. But even failing levels will upgrade your equipped books so, again, you will still be able to beat them, it will just take a tad longer.
Still, it could have used a little more fine-tuning in this area, because I can’t count the amount of times that I had to replay a level, or had to do a(n earlier) challenge in order to be able to buy something better from the store.
It’s always wise to take a potion (or two) with you but it’s even wiser to not use it if you’re playing a new level for the first time. I’ve also spent a ton of crystals on potions that were eventually just wasted because the difficulty ramped up halfway through a level. It’s unfortunately very unbalanced sometimes and that will no doubt impact people’s experiences. The game relies heavily on using items and upgrading your gear, which makes sense, but for a casual game it doesn’t seem to be all that casual on that front.

For a two-man company the game is extremely well polished. But it isn’t hard to see that some aspects didn’t get the same treatment as some of the other parts of the game. I’m talking about the animations and the difficulty spikes here (which I already shortly addressed in the previous paragraph and won’t get into any further).
The graphics all look sharp and detailed, and everything is nicely animated, except for the enemies. The enemies just stand still and when they attack you might see a flash or something but except for that nothing else is moving. I understand it would’ve taken more time to animate all of the characters but it’s slightly disappointing and certainly noticeable, especially when the rest of the game feels so polished.
Thankfully the user interface is clean and user friendly. There’s also keyboard support so that you don’t have to click on of the letters you want to use. A simple idea, but really clever and I’m sure many people will appreciate it.
The music itself is retro themed, and up-tempo. I didn’t really enjoy it just because of that, but that’s personal and I wouldn’t ever say that it’s bad. It’s just not my style. I did find the sounds good with selected tiles making noises, and a sound that can be heard whenever a word can be submitted.

The description of the game states that it will take at least 6 hours to finish the game and I personally think you can at least add several hours extra to that number. I think 10 hours, give or take, would be a good estimate to do most of the things. For a word game, that’s pretty lengthy and, even more important, worth the money.

Letter Quest Grimm’s Journey is a game that I very much enjoyed. There are plenty of word games out there, but nothing like this one or Bookworm Adventures. This is also one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much. This genre hasn’t been oversaturated yet. Sure, it isn’t as popular as RPGs or FPSs, but that doesn’t make it any less fun. Who knew playing with words could be fun ? (well,… I did)

[Rating: 76/100]

Small note: if you enjoy word games give Typing Of The Dead a try, too (that is, if you’ve never heard of it). It’s just as much fun and deserves more recognition and attention.

Letter Quest is a casual word game with some RPG elements added to it. It boasts 40 different levels each providing 4 different challenges for the player (giving you a grand total of 160 challenges). If that's not enough for you, the expert mode unlocks once you've completed the game on the regular one. The RPG elements allows you to customize your character and allow for a natural progression since the challenges become tougher as the game progresses.

Not being a native English speaker, I consider the game the provide a decent challenge while not pushing me away. It actually has that "just one more" quality that will have you engulf many hours in it without really noticing. A real word aficionado might find the regular mode on the easy side but will certainly enjoy the more challenging expert mode. It took me about 10 hours to complete the main quest and roughly 75% of the overall challenges. Depending on your level of vocabulary, you can probably complete the whole thing (including achievements) on normal in 10 to 15 hours.

Overall a really enjoyable game that's easy to pick up and play for a quick session or to really dive into for hours at a time. I suggest you give the demo a try even if you're not usually a fan of word games.

First of all, please ignore the time played. I have played this game to death on iOS. Yes, it's an iOS game, but the developer put out all the stops to make this a great PC version. Everything your little PC cold hearts would ever want is your desire in this game.

It is extremely fun, calming, relaxing and funny. It's great to play at night when you're winding down or in the morning with your coffee or tea. Or just whatever. It's challenging without it being stressful, thats the sign of a great game.

I know many Steam users decry iOS in my PC?! Unpossible!!! But give it a whirl. It's worth it. I love this game, and the developer is cool. Look at the contributors pages. There are links to charities too which you should give to. I really love this game.

You spell words to kill monsters and upgrade your stuff to kill more monsters in different levels and each level has 4 stars of difficulty. That's the game. Click on a letter, type a letter. Hug a letter. Hug your cat.

Buy it.

At first glance you might think this is the sort of game you would use to help your kids or pets practice spelling, but as any Scrabble player knows, words can be really long, so even a cunning linguist can find a challenge here. Not only that, but the cherry on the icing on the cake on the plate is that the wordplay is nestled neatly in the trappings of an RPG, like a Jimmy Dean sausage patty in a light fluffy croissant.

The ability to equip gear, raise your stats, and even drink potions all contribute to the RPG feel, while various special and less than special types of letter tiles force more strategic play than simply 'what's the longest word I can find'. If that isn't enough, each level has challenge modes such as time limited, or words must be longer than your arm, or you can only win if you live in Iowa. Letter Quest is a pretty cool game is what I'm saying here. Think about trying it.

I'm Otter Chaos, and I approve this message.

Immense replayability! The RPG element is a really nice addition, and gives a sense of progression and achievement. Brings the sexy back into word games! You owe it to yourself to buy this game if you like scrabbles and word games.

This game is awesome. Where do I even start..

There is a stats page with a million stats on it, relating to words that you make in the game. It's a word enthusiasts wet dream.
I love how the game does not have a time limit, only some stages on levels, so you can choose when you want to have high blood pressure and when you want to relax.
I love how they took a different stance on achieving stars on levels, they are basically just a different way to replay each level.
Imagine my excitement after I leaned back in my chair about half an hour into the game, and I realised I could type the words out on my keyboard instead of clicking with a mouse.
If you love crosswords, scrabble, and the rest, then you will love this game. It is beautifully crafted and I am very happy to see another word game on Steam! :)
