Spellk
Spell a word. Smash an enemy. Turn random letters into attacks and stack strange items into ridiculous builds. Make rare letters hit harder or long words pay off in this turn-based word-combat roguelite, solo or with up to three friends in online co-op.
About
Words are weapons
Draw a random hand of letters. Piece together a word. Hurl it at an enemy. Spellk is a turn-based word-combat roguelite you can play solo or with up to three friends in online co-op.
Take your time choosing a word. Enemies that survive your attack strike back.
Nearly four years after the beloved original launched as a free web game, Spellk returns on Steam as a ground-up remaster—greatly expanded with new items, enemies, mechanics, companions, an unfolding story, and online co-op.
Change what makes a good word
Find the Catchphrase Carrot, choose a word—even one you made up—and spell it for +150% damage. “FLORB” just became a tactical decision.
Grapes of Grandiloquence make long words hit harder. Combine extra word slots with a Wordsteel Dagger to earn bonus damage from consecutive words that share a letter: BLAZE, then HEAL, in a single attack.
Boost particular letters, remove unwanted ones, and make your favorites appear more often. With a different build, the same handful of letters can send you hunting for a completely different word.
A huge vocabulary helps. A clever build can matter just as much.
Four hands. One attack.
Everyone gets their own letter hand, items, and potions. Compare your options, lock in your words, and unleash your attacks together once the whole party is ready.
More players mean tougher enemies—and more ways to help each other hit harder.
Keep the build alive
Fight through regions, defeat their bosses, and choose rewards that shape your next fight. Use potions to add the missing letter, redraw an awkward hand, or restore your party’s health.
Finish the campaign, then carry your build into Endless and see how far it holds up. Every new run starts a fresh build.
Pets with something to say
Unlock pets with their own ideas about combat. A rat helps you spot useful words you might have missed. A parrot repeats past spells for bonus damage. A snake stretches the S’s in your words to make them hurt more.
The calico cat contributes by meowing at your enemies. Unlock its longer outburst for a considerably louder opinion.
The pets you’ve unlocked are yours to keep between runs.
Make every letter hurt.
