Description

Words are weapons!

Obliteracy is a word game set in a utopian future where energy is generated from language itself. Word-warriors pilot enormous mechanized robots in a tournament to prove themselves worthy of the title of Championโ€”and to earn the chance to craft the future of the world.

Obliteracy's core gameplay mixes the familiar mechanics of tile-based word games with a variety of bonuses, board configurations, and contenders to create a fresh, dynamic challenge in every match. Players choose from one of eight different playable challengers, each with distinctive strengths, weaknesses, skills and play styles. Battles are fought using wildly varying tile sets, each with its own configuration of powerup tiles that can boost damage and energy gain. Each character has their own unique set of special attacks which, properly used, can instantly turn the tide of a pitched struggle.

In Story Mode, players face increasingly challenging opponents in eight distinct and engrossing story arcs, all culminating in battles against the Codexicron, the artificially-intelligent repository of humanity's knowledge and creator of the tournament. Multiplayer lets you challenge friends and strangers from across the globe in single-match play,and Quick Play drops you into a randomly generated encounter that adapts over time to match your skill level.

Obliteracy demands quick wit and constantly evolving strategies to ensure victory.

How to Play

Mouse-based controls:

Click a tile on the game board to add it to your word.

Click tiles in a word to remove them from your word and place them back on the board.

Click your opponent to attack once you have built a valid word.

Click your own character to reload (shuffle all letters and end your turn.)

Click your character's power buttons to use them when they're charged.

See the in-game tutorial for more help.

game crashed after the last fight? finished off the boss, "there's only one way to find out isn't there?" gold panels closed.... and nothing. no sound, no further animation, no response to mouse nor keyboard.

Agh, I'm sorry to hear that--I'm still trying to work out a bare handful of hard-to-replicate bugs. If you'd like to see the animation, reload the game and you should be able to see the victory animation in the Databank under "Media". I'll see what I can do to fix this crash bug, and again, my apologies for the trouble! [EDIT: Blaaaaaargh I just found where the problem is and it's a real forehead-smacker and I'm fixing it now! I hope to have an update uploaded later today!]

I love that the words that are used are posted later, and you can click on them to learn them. 5 stars!! :)

Awesome, thank you! :D As you advance through the game, your AI opponents begin to use more advanced dictionaries, filled with all sorts of obscure and wondrous words to discover!

Nice game, I would like to see more. The achievements section in the info-databank is worth checking out, unlocking achievements makes you stronger.

Thank you! You can also use the Databank to boost and equip the upgrades you win from Loot Tiles.

I save and quit during the campaign, because it was tiring, to say the least. But, when I came back to play, there was no way for me to pick up from where I left off.

"New Game" Please fix this...

Dkpure, I'm sorry you're having trouble with the automatic saves. Obliteracy's save data is stored in Flash cookies, which may be getting deleted automatically by the system when you close windows or quit your browser. One thing you can do to ensure your game data gets saved is to link your Kongregate account to Obliteracy.com from the lower-right button on the main menu. Doing this will automagically save your progress on the Obliteracy game server (as well as unlock other characters, achievements, and more!)

the surgical strike achievement is not able to be earned.

Surgical Strike is one of the most challenging achievements to earn--you need to deal *exactly* 10,000 points of damage in a single shot to earn this achievement. I'll likely adjust this down to something a bit more reasonable (say 2,500 points of damage) before full release. Thank you!
