Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can win you a chicken dinner
The battle royale trendmay not be over yet, and one of its newest interpretations is a strange pairing that somehow really works.Babble Royaleis, if you boil it down,Scrabblemeets battle royale. It’s also got a lot more going on than you might think.
16 players drop into the wild for a war of words, with the victor emerging as the last scribe standing. You stay alive by staying within the circle that’s pressing down on the board. And you can eliminate players by breaking into their own words.
Babble Royaleis developed by the creators of idle gameUniversal PaperclipsandHey Robotover at Everybody House Games. And much like thePaperclips,Babble Royaleseems primed for eating up your time.
It’s hard to forget the era ofWords With Friends, and I dig howBabble Royalereimagines the classic word-crafting game with a battle royale twist. The nice part is, while it’s in early access, it’s also free to play. So if you want to give your word-finding skills a test,you may download it on Steam right nowand find out how verbose you truly are.
Babble Royalewill be in early access, and over the next few months, Everybody House Games says it will be expanding the experience with new content and features. Right now seems like a good time to get in on the ground floor of this word combat experience. Or at least, receive a sobering reminder of your actualScrabbleskills.
