About

Touch Type Tale is the strategy game you control by typing! Join a brave new era of strategy — tactical typing. Use a satisfying mesh of mechanics across a range of surprising challenges, with storybook campaigning and online play. You are Paul. (Hi there.) And the keyboard to the kingdom is yours.

Your fingers... Yes, those. They are astonishingly nimble! I have never seen their like. Use them to type your way through a strategic challenge like no other. Become the unlikely hero of Minsteria, whose vacant throne is vulnerable to the grasping hands of sly nobles and warmongering bandits.

Use your typewriter to construct armies, build villages and defeat miscreants across a sprawling tactical campaign dotted with big gameplay surprises.

This quest will challenge veteran strategists and newcomers alike. But I believe in you, Paul! You know what they say: the keyboard is mightier than the sword.

MASTER A UNIQUE STRATEGY CHALLENGE

  • Conquer your opponent's Village by commanding armies of Swordsmen, Archers, Spearmen and Cavalry, with Golems and Catapults thrown in for extra carnage.

  • Acquire gold by hiring Workers to mine and farm. Grow and enhance your forces by spending gold on unit upgrades and buildings such as Stables, Barracks and Spearhuts.

  • Engage in melee and ranged combat, making tactical decisions based on unit types, army size, and which routes lay ahead. Deal bonus damage by charging down the enemy or flanking them in a pincer movement.

  • Use nifty spells that grant you an edge, adding an Ink Factory to unlock advanced magic like Teleport and Plague.

USE YOUR KEYBOARD TO CONTROL EVERYTHING

Throw away your mouse. Go on, cast it into the fire — for you control the entirety of Touch Type Tale with your keyboard. Type to construct buildings. Type to mine gold from ore deposits. Type to maneuver your armies down a strategic path. Type to pull the perfect pint. Face terrific typing minigames like a cook-off, shooting gallery, rhythm game, bullet hell, and a Grand Strategy challenge.

CONQUER ONLINE MULTIPLAYER SKIRMISHES

Unleash your skills on the wider world and emblazon your name on the Leaderboards.

BE A GREATER TYPE OF TYPIST

Improve typing accuracy, typing speed, multitasking ability, and language skills — the text and typing mechanic is supported in thirteen languages. Choose a difficulty setting that suits your playstyle, and replay at increasingly higher difficulties to reap the rewards.

LET JIM BROADBENT TELL YOU A TALE

Naturally, beloved Oscar-winning actor Jim Broadbent is the voice of this ripping yarn. Our story's hero, Paul, is just a humble wizard's apprentice trying to avoid sorting someone else's toenail collection. Submerge yourself in a vivid fantasy world and discover how Paul became Minsteria's greatest hero — and never touched a toenail again.

TOUCH TYPE TWITCH

Stream the game on Twitch and give Chat control of the game! By typing words in Chat, viewers vote to type it in-game. Use Options in the Game Menu to link Touch Type Tale to your Twitch Channel and let chaos reign. (Cackle.)
