Criss Cross Castle lets you save the world of words from the evil Illiterati, out now
  • Engaging word puzzle with roguelite features
  • Choose between Wanda the witch or Pip the squire
  • Numerous side quests and mini-games available

Simply Sweet Games has officially released Criss Cross Castle, an enchanting new word puzzler where you harness the power of language across a magical fantasy realm. I have always championed the transformative power of words to save the world, and here, that concept is taken quite literally—a premise I fully embrace.

In Criss Cross Castle, players embark on an epic journey to reclaim stolen vocabulary and vanquish villains as an adorable young witch. The antagonists are known as the Illiterati; if that name alone doesn't spark your curiosity, nothing will.

Setting aside any exaggeration, the game offers a wealth of clever word puzzles and hidden treasures, enhanced by roguelite mechanics that keep each playthrough fresh. Vocabulary challenges progressively evolve throughout the campaign, while mini-games and special side quests provide delightful breaks during your adventure.

ytYou can choose to play as either Wanda, the aforementioned spellcaster, or Pip the squire, adding a charming narrative layer to the overall experience.
