ROGLE Reviews

Played this game for a few hours now, its been fun. The rogue-like bits add a lot of spice to the game, and the difficulty increase makes it a lot more challenging than Wordle. Also, I this game has infinite playability compared to Wordle where you can only play one puzzle a day.

Had a good time playing this. It's got a bigger word bank then wordle so it's alot harder, was worried at first but the power-ups you get really help counter act that. All in all pretty good for anyone who wants something similar but a little different to wordle.

It is waaay to bare bones. Menus don't work, no obvious way to exit. No instructions. Broken menus.

I have seen other people say that they really liked the daily Wordle puzzle, but I have never tried to play it myself. This gives me a similar game at a fairly low price that can be played more than once a day.

This game looks interesting, but it has significant gameplay issues that makes it very problematic. The word list is very extensive, causing most words to be unrecognized by the vast majority of english speakers. In combination with this, the game has some inconsistencies with the original wordle game that this game is largely imitating. Some of these I think are just errors, but other are just needlessly confusing, which makes the game almost unplayable. The colours in this game often blend in with the background because the opacity of the letter tiles is much too low. This makes it so that the information is sometimes almost invisible. In combination with this, I am colourblind and since the colours are too similar that they can be almost indistinguishable. There are no options that accomodate for this.

Neat concept but the execution is very unenjoyable. There are a few major problems: 1) The game of wordle itself is not programmed properly. It does not handle coloring duplicate letters in a word correctly, making some words much harder than they should be. 2) The "extended" dictionary being used tends to spit out words that the average person would believe are made up. Some of them likely are made up, as I couldn't find any mention of them on google or dictionaries. Notable examples include words like "dorrs" and "huhus". The game also included extra difficulty by just making words longer than 5 letters, so I'm not sure why they didn't just commit to that route instead of using gibberish. 3) There is very little explanation of mechanics outside of the basic description of how to play wordle. The one boss I encountered was particularly confusing. Boss spoiler: [spoiler]I eventually realized that the boss was just creating visual clutter as time went on, but at the start of the fight I just had random blue letters on my bar and had no idea what it meant. Did the boss lock those letters? Or is the game telling me I should use them? No explanation whatsoever.[/spoiler] 4) The presentation is quite poor. The backgrounds make it hard to see anything. They can be turned off, butthen you're just playing with a black screen and a very unpolished, barebones wordle UI. There are absolutely no extra wordle features like hard mode or placing letters in the middle of the word as a visual aide, and it looks quite ugly. I would expect this level of quality from a free prototype. The $5 pricetag is insulting.

Very cool and fun way to learn more english word. With some help from friends, I made it to level 20 which gave me 8 letter words, and three extra rows. It auto generated words 4 at the start and revealed 3 letters of the word. Had a good time. And technically since I had some friends helping me it was COOP too :D
