Publisher Epic Games and developer Pumpernickel Studio today announced Jim Broadbent as the voiceover talent for upcoming strategic typing game Touch Type Tale, launching on PC exclusively via the Epic Games Store on March 28. A new story trailer is available here.
An Academy and BAFTA award winning actor, Jim Broadbent is known worldwide for his roles in films such as Iris and Moulin Rouge! – and is set to bring the varied and colorful cast of Touch Type Tale to life in spectacular fashion.
Touch Type Tale is a real-time strategy game with a typing twist. 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. Throughout the enthralling campaign, players will also discover innovative takes on the gameplay mechanics where their mental and manual dexterity will also have to see them through bullet-hell ship battles, musical interludes and…making pizza?
Winner of Develop: Brighton’s Indie Showcase in 2019, Touch Type Tale features a robust single-player campaign fully voiced by Jim Broadbent with stunningly illustrated cutscenes. A variety of difficulty levels are available, along with asynchronous language options so that you can play in one language while typing in another. Players can also challenge their friends in competitive multiplayer battles or compete at the highest level to claim the top spot on the leaderboards.
