Letter Hunt is a seven-day game with a unique Roguelike concept, offering players a challenging yet enjoyable experience. It involves searching for letters in a randomly generated world while encountering obstacles and enemies. Surviving and completing missions are key to advancing levels.
Letter Hunt is a Seven Day Roguelike game that was born from a discussion at the end of the 2005 7DRL challenge with Antoine, the author of Guild. The game possesses a multitude of unique features that make it an enjoyable experience for anyone who is interested in word games.
One of the key features of "Letter Hunt" is the ability to spell words by capturing your foes in the correct order to earn points and powerups. With 52 letters to capture, each possessing their own personalities or unique abilities, the game offers an engaging gameplay experience.
Furthermore, character advancement is based on power-ups that can wear off, rather than gaining experience or levels. Advancement is not permanent, providing an open-ended game for players to enjoy. Additionally, there is no final boss or win condition, with the goal being to accumulate as many points as possible before attrition or increasingly difficult enemies take you down.
Combat in the game is extremely tactical, with no randomness. Players always hit and always do full damage. This means that careful placement is the difference between success and failure. The game also features turn-based action, as is normal for a roguelike.
Players have the option to edit the wordlist, which is a plain text file that can be added to or replaced. Creature frequency is calculated from the letter frequency in the wordlist file.
The latest release of the game has addressed various bugs, including the crash on walk. Overall, Letter Hunt is an enjoyable and unique game that offers a fun challenge for word game enthusiasts.
