Typecast is a beautiful three-axis chimera born from Nuclear Throne, Vampire Survivors, and Typing of the Dead (or, if you prefer a more comedic choice, "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing").

Toying with the keyboard as an input mechanism is genius. Fast-moving enemies frequently require reaching far-away keys. Boss enemies require you to type the entire alphabet in order while fending off smaller foes.

Shooters were designed for the mouse, but few videogames have ever truly been designed for the keyboard, let alone both the keyboard and the mouse. I'm glad to see Typecast take another seat in that miniature pantheon.
