Spellk

Spellk is a turn-based word-combat roguelite for solo play or online co-op with up to three friends. You draw a random hand of letters, spell a word and attack an enemy with it. Take time to choose: enemies that survive your attack strike back.

Build your words

Items and letter adjustments shape which words deal the most damage. The Catchphrase Carrot lets you choose and spell even a made-up word for +150% damage, while Grapes of Grandiloquence make long words hit harder. Extra word slots and a Wordsteel Dagger can reward consecutive words that share a letter, such as BLAZE followed by HEAL in a single attack.

You can boost particular letters, remove unwanted ones and make favored letters appear more often. Different builds can make the same hand of letters point toward different words, so vocabulary and build choices both matter.

Play together

In co-op, each player has a separate letter hand, items and potions. Compare your options and lock in your words, then unleash your attacks together when the whole party is ready. More players bring tougher enemies as well as more ways to help one another deal extra damage.

Runs and rewards

Fight through regions, defeat their bosses and choose rewards that shape your next fight. Potions can add a missing letter, redraw an awkward hand or restore the party’s health. Each run starts with a fresh build; after finishing the campaign, you can carry a build into Endless and see how far it lasts.

Pets

Unlock pets with different effects in combat: a rat helps spot useful words, a parrot repeats past spells for bonus damage, and a snake stretches the S’s in your words to make them hurt more. A calico cat meows at enemies, and you can unlock a longer, louder outburst. Unlocked pets remain available between runs.

Origins

Spellk is a ground-up remaster of the original free web game, launched nearly four years earlier. It expands on the original with new items, enemies, mechanics, companions, an unfolding story and online co-op.
