Evaluation

Touch Type Tale launched on Steam on November 4, 2024, following a lengthy development period that included a publisher announcement in early 2021, a Steam announcement in June 2024, playtesting in August 2024, and a demo in October 2024. The game shipped as a complete product on launch day alongside its soundtrack DLC. A small bug-fix patch followed on November 15, 2024, addressing minor issues reported by the community. That patch is the last developer communication on record. The DLC list contains only the released soundtrack — there are no unreleased DLC entries or season pass items. The developer has not announced any expansions, additional content, or post-launch roadmap. There has been no developer communication since November 15, 2024. With no content commitments outstanding, no update pattern established beyond launch maintenance, and no developer statements indicating future content, the game appears to have shipped as a finished, self-contained product.

About this game

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.
