About

Weaponize your WPM. Glyphica: Typing Survival is a single-player roguelite horde survival game that lets you mow down hordes of enemies in a minimalistic arena using your finger dexterity, your choice of weapons loadout, and sheer determination.

Early Access Roadmap

About the Game

Typing meets horde survival in this fast-paced roguelite that challenges your speed, accuracy, and strategy. Step into a minimalist arena and dominate the battlefield using your typing skills and your trusty keyboard.

Not Your Ordinary Typing Test

Type the word above an enemy to finish them off. Challenge your focus and speed as bigger waves and wicked words try to slow you down and take you out.

These wily words also have a few tricks up their sleeves. Deterministic drones will simply edge closer towards you, but egregious enemies like Swarmers will fire their little bullets at you, while Shooters charge up to unleash hell on you.

Kit Out; Don’t Keysmash

Furiously fast fingers will never be enough! Upgrade your arsenal with unlockable weapons and loot that can help you make quick work of each wave of words.

Each build is uniquely yours. Set up your Oscillator and Sentry to take care of a large swathe of territory while you pick off the stragglers, or minmax your main weapon to evolve into an alphabet assassinator? The choice is yours!

(Hot)Swap your Strategies in Formidable Boss Fights

There are multiple trials for you to overcome, and a boss guarding the end of each trial. Defeating the trials unlock challenging Omens that make your enemies even more formidable. Can you out-type and outwit our orthographic overlords?

Control Freaks Rejoice!

Hate keyboards with a passion? Or are you just better with a controller? We have you covered with controller mode that works for any controller you might have, or even on the go with your Steam Deck!

Escalating Beats to Defeat Enemies to

Get into your flow state and provide your best typing performance under pressure, accompanied by pulsating techno beats to carry you to victory.
