What players say

Players are split on Words for Evil. Many warn the window is tiny and cannot be made fullscreen, especially on 4K monitors, and others say the RPG elements, dialog, decisions, progression, are nearly absent, leaving only a repetitive word-search combat loop. Those who enjoy it call it a calming short-session game for word nerds, praising the pixel art and obscure vocabulary.
