Developers Pumpernickel Studio and publisher Epic Games have officially sent their strategic typing game Touch Type Tale into open beta. During the open beta, players can get a sample of what the single-player campaign mode has to offer, as well as face off against each other in skirmish mode.

This game is fully controlled by typing and includes a lot of intricacies that make it stand out from the typical “learn-to-type” game. Consisting of mini-games with their own controls, a full real-time strategy system, various difficulties, and twitch integration means that it is made for users that range from learning-to-type up to masters-of-strategy. Not to mention the actual multiplayer options. Plus, it has an actual story with it!

A young hero named Paul discovers that the power to command armies and beat back invaders is literally at his fingertips. Players help Paul tap into the power of typing, using their nimble digits to strategically place and lead warriors in battle, mine for resources, and tend to farmlands. 

Touch Type Tale is planned to launch exclusively on PC via Epic Games Store in early 2023, but the open beta is available starting today! So, will the fastest typists dominate, or will the strategic nous be more important than sheer WPM? While your beta downloads, enjoy a quick look at the campaign gameplay in action below.
