Game Description

Text Battle Royale is an online multiplayer game where you put your typing skills to the test against players in a unique battle royale experience. 

It combines two genres from different generations. A text-based typing experience often found in video games from the 70’s and 80s, similar to classic text-based adventure games, with a modern, popular battle royale genre that has been made famous by Fortnite and PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds).

 

Once the battle commences, every action is executed through typing. Walking, running, looting, shooting, healing, throwing a grenade, equipping your gun, reloading, and even laughing in the face of your enemy. There’s no room for typos or aimbots here, players must put their finger dexterity and accuracy to the ultimate test! 

 

Over 100 customisable items, ranging from sprays, voiceline taunts and kill signatures, can be unlocked through levelling up and completing challenges. Unlock a new item with every level up, no duplicates!

​

Original Concept

Text Battle Royale was conceived by Rebourne’s Technical Director Robert White when he competed in Ludum Dare 41: Combine Two Incompatible Genres. Rob created "Text Royale: The Ultimate Type or Death Fight", a single-player game that combined two unlikely genres: text-based typing and the popular battle royale. 

The Rebourne team utilised this single-player project as a proof of concept and decided to develop an online PVP version for commercial release that is now known as Text Battle Royale.
