Our take on Typing Hero
Its defining mechanic is typing under zombie-survival pressure: speed maintains combos and generates points, which feed into weapons, armor, and other upgrades.
What is Typing Hero?
Typing Hero combines zombie survival with typing challenges across 10 handcrafted maps.
Players choose Jack or Amy, type quickly to maintain combos, and spend earned points on body armor, weapons, and weapon upgrades. Five difficulty levels offer different challenges, with harder settings awarding more points. The game includes multiple zombie types, boss encounters, and character customization with helmets, face masks, hair colors, and camouflage. Statistics cover kills, waves survived, combos, survival time, words per minute, words typed, letters typed, and errors. Other features include a custom dictionary, a hand-placement guide, color-blindness support, Steam achievements, Steam profile statistics, and interface support for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and Greek.
