Letterally is a strategic, turn-based roguelike where vocabulary is your weapon. This isn't just about knowing long words—it's about finding game-breaking synergies and creating powerful combos. With the right setup, you can break the game... or you can fall back on your natural wordsmithing skills to snatch victory.

Your main goal is to conquer a 10-level board. Each level is a three-stage gauntlet:

• Stages 1 & 2 : You're on your own. You have 5 turns to hit a target score. Play smart and plan ahead. Every turn you save is an extra turn against the boss.

• Stage 3 : The Boss Fight! Face one of over 20 unique bosses, each with game-changing abilities. You'll get your 6 turns plus any you've saved. You'll need them.

Clear all 10 levels to beat the board, or test your limits by continuing into Endless Mode, where the difficulty constantly increases.

Between stages, visit the Shop. This is where your run takes shape. Spend coins to create a game-breaking build from a huge pool of powerups:

• Totems: Equip up to 5 powerful relics. Some provide constant, passive support, while others trigger powerful effects based on your actions and synergies.

• Tile Enhancements & Editions : Apply persistent, powerful effects directly onto your individual letter tiles.

• Boosters : Collect passive powerups that reward you for meeting specific gameplay criteria during your turn.

• Consumables : Purchase one-shot items for an instant, clutch bonus when you need it most.

During stages you can trigger  Cell Modifiers  to gain instant advantages like score multipliers, extra coins, or free shop items.

The bosses in Letterally don't just score points; they rewrite the rules. You'll have to adapt your strategy to foes like:

• Phteven : Bans the letter 'S' from being played.

• Slav : Vowels are completely worthless.

• Sinkhole : An expanding zone of worthless cells.

• Cornerstone : Cells around the last letter in a word become blocked (see clip below)

• ...and many, many more.

• Meta-Progression : Complete tasks to unlock new Totems, Enhancements, and items that will appear in all future runs.

• Unlock New Boards : Conquer all 10 levels to unlock new, harder game boards (10 in total), each with its own twist.

• Endless Mode : Continue past level 10 to challenge yourself and set new records.

• Multiple Difficulty Levels : Choose the challenge that suits you, from beginner to grand master.

• Challenge Modes : Test your skills in unique scenarios:

•      Vs. CPU Vanilla : A pure 1v1 duel. No powerups, just skill.

•      Bingo : You must score a 7+ letter "bingo" on every single turn.

•      Treasure Hunt : Collect all coins on the board within a limited number of turns.

With its deep strategic systems and potential for game-breaking combos, Letterally is the perfect game for strategic masterminds and powerhouse players alike—all set to a chill, lo-fi hip-hop soundtrack by Ketsa.
