【Game Highlights】

First and foremost, as a casual trivia game, Text or Die has undoubtedly practiced both quick reflexes and knowledge reserves with its unique and exciting feature of requiring players to answer questions immediately and correctly type the correct answers as long as possible to avoid being submerged in the sea or eaten by sharks as well as test their typing speed.

Secondly, by correctly answering a wide range of questions, Text or Die allows the player to expand their mind in a limited amount of time, allowing for accurate and diverse answers.

Thirdly, the simplicity of typing answers and the clarity of the strategy of typing as many words as possible are also friendly to players of any age.

Fourthly, there are tons of well-designed character skins and even the appearance of the pedals that are waiting to be unlocked by coins awarded for more and more victories, which makes the otherwise competitive game experience much richer.

【How to play】

In terms of specific gameplay, first of all, the core idea of being the last person standing in a rising water level by typing out the correct answer as long as possible according to the scope of the question, what the player must do in Text or Die is to brainstorm answers as long as possible from the instructions, asthe more words you type in the correct answer, the more layers you’ll have on the foot to keep you safe from rising sea levels and the shark attacks that follow. Therefore, brainstorming the right answer with as many characters as possible without a time limit is a prerequisite for success.

Not only that, but it doesn’t matter if you encounter a word you don’t understand in a command or if you’re asked about a gap in your knowledge. Because you’re also allowed to spend in-game winning coins to get some or all of the tips on the correct answer to help you survive a crisis that could become shark food.

It’s worth noting that players can get a well-designed look for their characters through bonus levels that appear at random intervals, and watch ads to unlock a large number of style pedals.

【Pros and cons】

On the whole, Text or Die has both impressive excellence and a fly in the ointment. From its exciting gameplay that tests knowledge and quick reflexes, to its low poly yet fluid and delicate dynamic visuals, to its minimalist controls and easy-to-master competitive gameplay, Text or Die succeeds at the pinnacle of casual trivia games. However, the one thing that should be improved is that in addition to the ads that unlock in-game items and appearance, the high number of ads that pop up frequently leads to a very poor gameplay experience.
