The Textorcist The Story of Ray Bibbia Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Yes the screenshots don’t lie; the absolute madmen at MorbidWare merged a typing game with a beautifully intense bullet-hell, and although it is exactly as difficult as it sounds don’t click away just yet. Believe it or not The Textorcist is, at least from my perspective, very focused on being fair to the player and going easy on them when they need it while simultaneously rewarding the nutters who can comfortably drive and play Sudoku at the same time (actually, probably shouldn’t be suggesting that – it isn’t a challenge). With one hand, you’re gonna grab your controller and manipulate Ray Bibbia’s feet as he dodges unholy fire, literal bullets and high-powered phlegm that projects itself across the room, not always in your direction. Now with your other hand, you’re going to take a firm grip on your keyboard – yes, the whole thing – and use this controller to type out all manor of psalms and prayers that’ll make giblets out of Baphomets. It isn’t elegant by any means, and the fact that there’s only one hand typing at any one time means all that touch-typing skill you may have picked up along your gaming career is now irrelevant.

The game features intense bullet hell-style combat where players must dodge a barrage of bullets while typing out various spells and incantations to defeat demonic foes.

It’s a learning curve that borders on the blasphemous, but once the player does learn the rules it becomes very easy to put them into practise. There are occasions where the big bad will charge up a devastating attack, leaving you ample time to type out your angelic counter-phrase, while other points where dodging a myriad of patterned death takes precedence over getting out those last few letters. As long as Ray has his Bible in hand, he is impervious to any damage that he takes, with blows knocking it across the room and starting a timer. Should he reach it in time, he can pick up where he left off losing nothing but a few seconds. Should he fail to reach it, he will need to begin the passage from the very beginning. With only three lives per level, the player needs to decide whether they can dodge the projectiles and reach the book in time or take some damage to ensure they don’t have to start over. This is where skilful play and decision-making is really rewarded, but the problem can obviously be best solved by not face-tanking a bolt of Luciferian energy in the first place.

Challenging twisted typing mechanics for every boss

The Textorcist provides incredible variety in its gameplay too, considering it’s a glorified TypeRacer. At a certain point (when you start fighting full on demons and not just Ghostbusters rejects), you’ll need to start praying in Latin, read upside down and even diffuse bombs. Honestly, some levels I feel like I came through by the skin of my teeth, but the whole Bible-reclamation mechanic means that as long as you play smart, you can come out on top. Even when you lose, the prayer you’ll be asked to type is the same per level, meaning that the more you type, the more you memorise, the more you can focus on bettering your score (you know, as long as your spelling of a long dead language is perfect). In terms of presentation too, The Textorcist does not disappoint. The soundtrack has a thumpy techno feel about it that, while probably not strictly listening material, is catchy enough that I felt it was worth mentioning. Yet more impressive was the pixel-art: character portraits are phenomenally expressive, and the backdrops to your biblical combat are so packed with detail that it’s actually kind of disappointing Dead Grid

I spend way too much time frantically searching my keyboard for the right letters that I don’t get to appreciate it nearly as much as it deserves. Literally my only criticism of the game is that the bits between levels feel way too arbitrary, and although they act as the perfect calm to contrast the ridiculousness of the core gameplay, the bit with the nun and the tunnel felt less like reprieve and more like filler. I feel like this is one of those games that can’t be very successful, but very much deserves to be. A bullet-hell typing game sounds like the worst thing, even after having tested it, and it’s very difficult to play this one for any more that an hour or so before I start feeling psychologically dead inside. With that said, anyone who enjoys a challenge with their hyper-polished, demanding but fair indie title should definitely give it a go. From its surface to its depths, The Textorcist is something special – I do probably need a little communal wine after enduring it though. The Textorcist is a bullet-hell typing game and even as I say that I’m surprised to see a sentence like that exist at all.

Play with the keyboard for a typing experience or with a gamepad for a rhythm experience

Which is to say that the pitch of The Textorcist is one that could only come to fruition because someone made a great pun in a meeting and everyone ran with the idea. On paper, it sounds ludicrous: You play as Ray Bibbia, a private exorcist, as he combats a plague of demons infesting his city. To fight back, you have nothing but your trusty bible and the Holy Word of God, accessed by typing exorcisms and bible verses out on your keyboard. What results is a fast, frenetic experience of dodging countless projectiles while madly typing in all varieties of English and Latin to deal damage to your enemies. A good bullet-hell game should test the player not only on reflexes but on their ability to learn and adapt to different encounters and enemies, something The Textorcist excels at. The bosses, ten in total, are impressive, each having a unique moveset and stages that ensure you never feel like you’re really on top of the situation. What really struck me was how different they all felt. Just as I was coming to terms with what initially feels like a clunky combat system (dodging and typing is not for the faint-hearted) a new boss would come along and introduce a mechanic to complicate things even further.

It is, quite honestly, exhilarating. Combat is a mix of avoiding attacks whilst also plugging in words through your keyboard. Completing a phrase will deal damage to the boss, whilst getting hit causes Ray to drop his bible, providing him a short opportunity to pick it up again before he takes damage. The game looks great. Beautifully animated sprites and environments designed to lend a sense of clarity and allow the player to always be aware of what is happening on the screen, no matter how chaotic it may appear. The soundtrack, and I don’t use this word lightly, slaps. The heavy basses and rhythms offers an experience of fast paced movement, really driving much of the action and pushing you to duck and dive as quickly as you can. What initially seems like a light-hearted 2D artstyle is filled with dark and evocative imagery, paying homage to dark possession stories. In many ways, I could see this game being re-drawn as a 90’s comic book cover, which isn’t a bad thing at all. Which goes for the game’s story as well. Ray Bibbia is a cynical, hard-boiled man who is trying to separate himself from his past and do what he can to help people (however begrudgingly that may be).

Yet the game never takes itself seriously and often undercuts what could have been laughably serious moments with humour coming from characters that all just seem out of place in an otherwise gothic noir story. It’s refreshing, and I often found myself chuckling at the absurdity of the situations Ray was in or a henchman not understanding figures of speech. It’s not comedic genius, but enjoyable nonetheless. Overall, the story does a good job of driving the game’s pace and, aided by a fair and well-implemented difficulty curve, provides a satisfying conclusion. This isn’t a game you play for the story, but Ray’s tale had enough interesting events and plot-points to keep me invested. Perhaps the only other slight I can lay against The Textorcist is in its quieter moments. The game commits to its typing mechanic, requiring the player to type out any action they want to perform which is initially an novel gimmick but does turn into a bit of a slog if one just wants to get back to the fast paced combat, the feeling of initially starting a boss, losing dramatically and wondering how you were ever expected to win that fight and coming out victorious a few attempts later.

The typing mechanics in the game are innovative and require players to type out specific words or phrases quickly and accurately to cast spells and defeat enemies.

And I suppose that’s the magic of this game. I’m not sure I fully believe in the act of exorcisms but from what I’ve gleaned from horror films and documentaries, it’s a precarious, dangerous activity fuelled by chaos and improvisation. The Textorcist captures what I imagine this feeling to be, fumbling through the words of a language you’re not quite sure of, hoping you don’t make a mistake all to survive long enough to reach your end goal of peace. It’s certainly not a simulation, but it’s a creative mechanical reimagining of what I can only imagine to be an otherwise uncapturable experience. The presentation is a bit far-fetched, but the story does a good job of riding the line between semi-serious and parody. The dialogue seems serious at times, but then you’ll get an absurd line thrown in to break the mood. Ray is characterized as a typical disgruntled private eye, but he seems to be the sanest character, as everyone else either has absurd lines, abnormal character traits, or a mix of both. The objects are also “punny,” with holy names given to his computer, journal and map. Taken as a whole, the story isn’t too compelling or memorable, but you feel that some care was taken in an otherwise throwaway narrative.

As alluded to earlier, the inspiration for the core mechanics is the bullet-hell shooter. The enemies you face try their best to fill the screen with bullets, and they attack in patterns that’ll be familiar to shooting game fans. Unlike most shooters, you don’t face off against smaller minions before progressing to the boss in a level. Instead, the combat is comprised mainly of boss fights, which some would argue are the best parts of shooters anyway. The game is presented from a top-down perspective, so you have an ample amount of space to move around, with each fight taking place in decently sized rooms. The one difference between The Textorcist and other bullet-hell shooters is that you have no way to save yourself with things like screen-clearing bombs. In fact, you only have one weapon in your arsenal: your Bible. You have the ability to shoot holy bullets from your Bible, but that can only be done by typing out the words from the verses you’re reading. These aren’t just a few words or parts of a sentence but complete lengthy lines. Completing each line allows you to deliver a barrage of bullets and stuns the enemy long enough to get a short cut scene before you continue the battle.
