About Keyboard Soldier
Keyboard Soldier is an action-survival game set in a forest under siege by zombies. You type the words above enemies to attack: each correct letter fires a bullet, and completing a word defeats the enemy. Words become more difficult as you progress through the stages, and you fight wave after wave for as long as you can.
Enemies and maps
You can play across three maps, each with its own difficulty curve. Four enemy types challenge your typing in different ways:
- Normal Zombies: use regular words.
- Confusing Zombies: their words shuffle every second.
- Rubbish Zombies: display random letters and numbers.
- Small Zombies: have single-letter words but move very fast.
Level up and choose items
Defeating enemies earns experience. Each time you level up, choose from common, rare or legendary items to shape your loadout and improve your chances against increasingly difficult waves. Some rare and legendary items interact with the combo bar.
Special words and combos
Typing accurately builds your combo bar and multiplies your score as you complete words in a row. A mistake resets the combo. Special word types provide additional effects:
- Purple Words: instantly kill three visible enemies.
- Blue Words: freeze all visible enemies.
- Gold Words: award double the gold.
Shop and leaderboards
You earn gold by defeating zombies and spend it in the shop on defenses: barricades block enemy advances, mines damage groups of zombies, mud slows them down, and torches light up the night. Zombies become more dangerous when darkness falls, so managing your resources matters to your survival.
Your score and typing accuracy determine your ranking on the global leaderboards.
