Our Expert Score

85/100

BattleText is a brilliant fusion of two things we do every day: texting and word games. It takes the classic 'last letter, first letter' game and turns it into a high-stakes competitive duel. The real magic happens in the real-time multiplayer; there is a unique kind of panic that sets in when you see the 'typing' bubble of your opponent while you're still struggling to think of a word starting with 'X'.

The game effectively encourages you to expand your vocabulary because longer words translate directly to higher damage. It’s also a fantastic way to improve your mobile typing speed under pressure. The character progression and diverse arenas add a nice sense of 'adventure' to what could have been a simple utility app. It’s snappy, smart, and incredibly satisfying when you land a 12-letter word to finish off a match.

Fun but..
Sat May 26 2018 SilverSheldon

I love this game a lot because it helps your vocabulary grow in a fun way but what I don’t like about the game so far is that when I try to use some words like say the chosen letter is ‘y’ I tried to write youthfulness but it wouldn’t allow me for some reason, the occurred with other words as well. Another thing to improve on is to add more challenges in the multiplayer section, there’s only three so far. I would love to see more challenge updates in the future when a new update occurs. Overall this app is very well made and fun!

Great game, but issues with being fair
Sat Oct 21 2017 Jayulian

TL;DR: Very good game, but also very unfair advantage given to the player who goes first. I absolutely LOVE this game, and I’ve only played it for a few days since my friend introduced me to it. Finally I feel that my English class has some sort of purpose. 😂 What is keeping this game from 5 stars you may ask? Well, in the short time period I’ve played this game, I’ve noticed a MAJOR ISSUE. There is a very unfair advantage given to the player who goes first. Let’s say that we’re playing to 50. Player 1 goes first, makes words that are 10 points per turn. Player 2 is second, and makes words that are 12 points per turn. After 4 words each, the score would be 48-40 in Player 2’s favor. However, Player 1 can barely edge them on the 5th word and win 50-48. This happens a lot more than you may think, and it unfairly rewards players just for going first, even if their words haven’t been as good. Devs, PLEASE fix this. If Player 1 hits 50 points, let Player 2 have a chance to tie or win the game, or even introduce sudden death. This game has a ton of potential, and I think this would be a ver nice change!

Great Game but Unfair Advantage that Wrecks the Enjoyment
Wed Nov 27 2024 Amburgers&Woot

This game is great apart from the fact that it gives a very unfair advantage to the player who goes first, as other players noted years ago. The developers said years ago they added a bonus round to fix this issue but there are no bonus rounds as far as I can tell. I have been first in every single multiplayer round I’ve ever played and it feels unfair and hardly competitive, as it’s very easy to be the first one to 50 when I effectively get one turn more than the player who goes second. Also, my fiancé and I do not have a Facebook. It frustrating that signing in with Facebook is the only way to play with friends as we had to make accounts specifically for this app. And to top it off, the invitation feature doesn’t even work. There is no way to accept a game invitation so after all that, we’re not even able to play together. Additionally, I paid for to remove ads. The app said my purchase was successful then crashed and it still shows me ads.

Good game but some stuff I would like to see
Mon Oct 21 2019 Ultiate

This is a great game I love the idea and it is overall great except a few things that I think would be better. 1) When you are in a match and you get it wrong it takes up so much more time to delete all of the letters especially if it was a long word like most words. I think it would be great to add a little button that you can press to restart your word to set you back to no letters typed. It would not restart the timer but it would save time. 2) More game modes like rush where you have to spell as many words as you can in 30 seconds and you could have high scores and leaderboards. It would be cool to have this and other modes like that. 3) Possibly a lobby where you can have the ability to get more than just 2 people playing you could have an entire group I would really like to see these things done to one of my favorite games already so please add these things soon. But anyways still a great game keep up the good work.

Good game but…
Tue Dec 27 2022 Vampluv1200

This app needs some work. It’s a really fun game but it would be better if you implement the device keyboard. It’s really easy on the game keyboard for your finger to slip and hit the wrong button or letter. I used all of my auto completes on accident because of this. If I accidentally type the wrong letters it takes extra of the limited time I have to think and type a word just to backspace and type it again. On the shorter time rounds it gets really stressful and frustrating. On top of that, when I watch an ad to recover a auto complete, the game just freezes and won’t let me do anything but exit the match and lose a life. I lost almost all of my lives in a short period of time because of this. Please fix these issues if you are still working on this game. I find it really fun and it’s sad to see that it’s becoming genuinely unplayable.

Super addicting
Wed Sep 06 2017 TJ Rson

A friend turned me onto this and I didn't have very high expectations based on the title alone.... so I went thru the tutorial n thought it's pretty simple n kinda fun but I figured it could only keep me entertained for so long before it would get repetitive n therefore boring... BUT THEN they threw in all these different curveballs in every battle like banning certain letters n cutting ur spell time in half just to name a couple... which changes everything n makes it more n more challenging as u go... great game to play with friends too

So many flaws
Sun Apr 22 2018 fortnitemobiletrash

Here are the things the developers needs to work on: 1: when you type on the keyboard too fast, some letters will not register. 2: whoever has a higher brainpower (plays/ win more) gets to go first, which is unfair to those who have recently just downloaded. 3: Whoever goes first has a huge advantage and the developers should add in a final turn, where the player who went second has a chance to still get a higher score than the person that went first. 4: When playing multiplayer and you get the cat (starting letter is random) I’ve noticed the starting letter is usually the same letters twice and sometimes even 3 times in a row. And this can be a disadvantage to those who don’t know any long words starting with that specific letter or it could be an advantage to those who know very long letters for that same word. For example, the letter p and s have some very long words such as SEMI-AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL or PALEOCLIMATOLOGIST but then there are letters such as y, where the longest word is YOUTHFULNESSES. So if any developers see this, please take this into consideration and fixing all these problems/bugs.

Advertisements are heavily suggested
Mon Oct 01 2018 Ice Ice Maybee

With any free game, I expect advertisements. I understand their purpose and I respect that. However with this game, you can only play so much until you’re “out of lives”, and then it shows a counter for when you can regain them. i believe mine said something around 10,000 minutes? It shows the counter going down. It doesn’t even allow you to play in story mode. They suggest to watch a free video to gain a life back. I’d rather just come back to the game later. This might cost them some returning players.
