Fantastic game and soundtrack definitely stays true to the original
The Typing of the Dead: Overkill is a fun, chaotic and hilarious twist on the classic rail-shooter formula, replacing gunplay with fast-paced typing challenges. Set in a campy, grindhouse-style world filled with zombies and crude humor, the game tasks players with typing words and phrases to defeat undead hordes.
The game’s standout feature is its unique gameplay mechanic, which makes typing both thrilling and absurdly fun. The grindhouse aesthetic and over-the-top humor add to its charm, offering a self-aware, deliberately cheesy experience. With a variety of modes, including multiplayer and word challenges, there’s plenty to keep players entertained.
On the downside, the humor and dialogue, while intentionally crass, might not appeal to everyone. Some sections of the game feel repetitive, especially as the typing challenges can become predictable over time. Additionally, the visuals, while intentionally retro, may seem dated or lack polish in places.
The Typing of the Dead: Overkill is a fun and unique spin on zombie shooters, perfect for players looking for something offbeat and entertaining.
Great for fans of typing games and over-the-top humor. 7.5/10.
uh oh
i never learned home row
The cinematic scenes are littered with childish swearing - like a messed-up-in-the-head rebellious teenager wrote the script. It is so unbelievably cringe and utterly ridiculous.
That aside, the game is a good idea on paper but it's hard to enjoy the experience when you are only staring at the words you are typing - in contrast to classic rail shooters where you are far more immersed in the experience. If you wanted to practice typing, this would technically help - but the narrative would be a very negative influence on the typical age-group for learning typing.
Overall it is not worth playing for the experience and there are more enjoyable ways to learn typing.
"As you well know, Isaac, I enjoy House of The Dead Overkill. It's like a good Chinese dinner, you know, with the sweet and the sour. Expanding on that analogy, I will smile with delight one this game is fun and works well as the rail shooter it is but when this game is buggy and sound cuts out of course, that's the sour."
What a fun game. You can play multiple episodes, its all tongue and cheek humor in a grind-house horror zombie setting. Get on sale, you wont be disappointed.

Fun to relax and try to play and watch a long as the story progresses. Simple movie comedy. Would Recommend.
Time to beat: 4-5 Hours
Time to Complete 100%: Roughly 25 hours
I played this game a ton in highschool, and still just as good (Though a pain to set up nowadays, though there are guides for that). It's campy, has a memorable soundtrack, and best of all, FUN! If only the other typing & house of the dead games were ported to steam :(
I swear, if half of the games in the last 3 years had taken this tone, they would have done much better. Fun game, but the writing seriously has me impressed. "Funny bad" through a grindhouse lens works SO MUCH better than "funny bad" that was intended to be serious. I'm honestly surprised how often I laughed at the bad jokes, and my typing skills have never been better
In Typing of The Dead you have:
- Gore;
- Hot chicks with big tits;
- Incredible writing, where every second sentence contains a curse word for no reason;
- Jokes about disabilities, race and other funny topics;
If you enjoy this game, you are an Unfathomably Based Giga Chad.
10/10
The game's a really good fun, and as a fan of the series, I'd like to see more adaptation like this. I'm definitely rooting for The House of the Dead series!
Currently not letting me open the game. Fails to launch.
TLDR: Fun for a bit with a humorous story that doesn't take itself seriously. Could use some extra features to really make it stand out, but worth it on sale.
PROS:
✅Cheesy B-Movie vibe brings some humor
✅Contains both typing and shooting game variants
CONS:
➖Excessive loading times
➖Some audio issues
➖Graphics/animations
Content (Game world/Narrative/Length) – [5/10]
Game World: Typing of the Dead: Overkill (TotD) takes place in on-rails levels across multiple different zones, each with a strong B-movie vibe. You’ll start in a farmhouse, then go to a strip club, then a hospital, ect. Since the levels themselves are on-rails, there is no exploration aside from some very slight camera movement.
The levels overall display a nice post-apocalyptic feel with zombies everywhere and just a general drab/destroyed look and feel. I say “Drab” in an appropriate way, not a negative way, though the graphics definitely didn’t age well.
Narrative: TotD has an over-the-top action/comedy feel to its very traditional storyline of stopping the bad guy. There are minor twists and turns along the way, but really it's all cliche and the story in no way takes itself seriously.
Length: A relatively short game, each level takes about ~15-25 minutes to do, there is something like 10 levels, so a few hours and you can finish one version of the game - either typing or shooting.
Gameplay (Mechanics/Difficulty) – [7/10]
Mechanics: Because TotD contains the obvious typing game, and also the shooting game, you have 2 very different mechanics at odds with each other.
First the typing - Very good. This is my first typing-specific game and I am impressed by how well the gameplay has transitioned from shooting to typing. Not only does it feel somehow natural to kill zombies with phrases like “In war there are only losers”, but it's also humorous at the same time. Also regarding the words, in my ~4+ hour playtime, I rarely saw repeat words/phrases, which is nice.
I generally type around ~75 WPM, but I felt like my typing here was much lower for two factors - the words themselves are not words that you would typically type very often leading to a hesitation while trying to figure out the next letter, and the words are not sentences, so the flow is harder than normal. Despite being a very good typer, these factors lowered my score a bit and ultimately the game became slightly frustrating as I would make errors frequently. Thankfully though, the game is generous on the typing side and with multiple zombies on the screen you’ll only ever have one attacking you at a time, allowing you to focus on a single word/phrase.
Gunplay - Equally as good. Since the game was originally an on-rails arcade shooter, it's no surprise that the gunplay is good. The shooter side has the additional positive of having cash that you can use to buy guns. I would have loved some sort of upgrade system on the typing side, perhaps to buy easier words, or maybe more free mistypes allowed, any upgrade system would have been welcome.
Overall, I enjoyed both typing and gunplay. I wish typing had an upgrade system to make it a bit more interesting.
Difficulty: I actually found the game fairly difficult. I completed the typing variant on the easiest difficulty and often got rank C’s through B’s on most of the levels, with an A or two. As I mentioned above the typing can be off putting because it's not like you’re typing a paper or any sort of complete sentences. I found the shooting variant to be slightly easier because you can aim immediately without typing, but reloading often made me take more damage than the typing side since the zombies are staggered and stunned as you type words.
Graphics (Quality/Performance) – [3/10]
Quality: Perhaps the worst part of TotD is how bad the graphics have aged. Maybe it's intentional with the B-movie vibe of the game, but at times the levels just look like a PS2 game. It’s just not great at all. The movie-filter grew on me and did help take attention away from the graphics themselves, but I still had a lot of issues trying to get over the animations.
Performance: Performance wise, I experienced no issues with crashes or bugs. I do want to note that the loading times felt excessive, even when the game is installed on a SSD. It’s common for each level to take upwards of ~15 seconds to load, which isn’t awful, but the part that really got me is also taking ~10 seconds to load the gallery to view collectables.

Audio (Sound Effects/Music) – [5/10]
Sound Effects: Subpar. I did notice many cases where it seemed like the sound bugged out during speaking parts. I’m not sure if it's intentional, but it was very noticeable. Aside from those issues. Aside from those issues, there is ample voice acting, and I found the voice acting to be good. The banter between Washington and G is funny. Also Varla’s comments towards Candi are pretty funny.
Music: Good and appropriate for a comedy/action game. Much of the music is rock n’ roll.
Replay Factor (Longevity) – [6/10]
Fairly good - there are achievements, leaderboards to chase, and collectables. Also as well as the typing/shooting variants mean you replay the same levels with either typing mechanics or shooting+gun upgrade mechanics.
To add more replayability, there are DLC word packs that add in many new typing words/sentences, and you can also upload your own word list into the game.
Final Verdict – [6/10]
Typing of the Dead: Overkill is a fun game. I can’t see it having much staying power, but it's fun to go through at least once. I think the option to add in your own word list as well as the game including both typing and the original shooting games is enough to give this a purchase. I do wish it had more features - typing upgrades, perhaps online multiplayer like you’d have in the old House of the Dead arcade with 2 players. Just something else to give it that extra oomph.
At its sale price right now of $10, I think it's a good purchase if you like on-rail shooters and want to give the typing aspect a go. Since TotD contains 2 games you can’t really go wrong.
Recommend? [Y/N]
Yes

This game is so much fun! Albeit a bit short it has plenty of replay-ability. The homoerotic tension between Agent G and Issac Washington is insane, they really should've kissed. 8.5/10.
Excellent deal. I didn't know it includes the regular fps version. Game play is fun and forgiving and continuing cost like 50,000 "score" (The counter on the top left). Only downside is I haven't figure out how to set the display into 2k.
Easily the greatest game ever made.
I can type without looking at my keys now and I can just pull out the 9 if I get bored anyways
I can only type 16 wpm
Fun! that's wt i'm lookin for in a game and this is absolutely fulfilling
Fun campaign and had me laughing out loud a few times. Worth picking up on sale!
Very fun to play. The final boss fight is poorly designed and disappointing but it doesn't ruin the rest of the game. The story itself isn't that interesting but the characters are funny.
This game is terrible. There is almost no gameplay. You just type a word every once in a while. There is 0 danger of ever being damaged let alone killed. There are long stretches of time where you don't type anything. There are power ups that don't feel remotely rewarding. There are a lot of audio bugs. And the writing/humor are completely cringe and stupid. Avoid at all costs.
If I had this type of formal education during typing class, I might have developed a trauma bond love for typing.
Way more vulgar than I was expecting for a silly typing game but still a ton of fun. Surprising amount of variety in the words so it never felt repetitive in that sense. I love that it had a story even if it was insane and gross.
7.5/10
This game is stupid and I love it
You type words and enemies die.
Game is alright, but I was hoping to learn to touch type, and they've not got the keyboard tutorial that the original had. I also had to spend half an hour troubleshooting to get it to even launch, I know others have suggested changing the graphics card it runs on, adding x86 to the executable name and stuff, but what worked for me was setting it to run in Windows Vista compatibility mode. Pretty meh initial experience given that.
honestly a cool way to adapt a light gun game for PC!
The store page states
"- Full and faithful port of the original PS3 edition of HOTD included in game"
However, I did not realize what that meant. If you have zero interest in typing, this contains the entire original House of the Dead: Overkill. That means every single level can be played with the original arcade style light-gun controls. This contains the single greatest shooter ever made for the wii as a barely advertised optional mode.
That's insane.
But frankly, it's understandable.
Because, the typing mode is honestly just that good.
This is a really solid title. The challenge phrases meaningfully challenging. And the Steam workshop provides thousands of incredible player made custom dictionaries, so the actual text will never get repetitive.
Either way, this is a fantastic title. A loving pastiche of grindhouse movie tropes, presented through a deliciously muddled film-reel filter makes for a game that is camp, gory, and genuinely fun. Pure grindhouse joy, Typing of the Dead is as funny as it is violent.
If you're a fan of on-rails shooters and/or typing really fast under pressure than by golly do I have the game for you
Kino Alert
Typing games work as meditation for me. I love any game where I can improve my WPM and disassociate!
lmao game
Absolutely addicting, one of my favorite games I've bought in a long time. A must-have for those who love to type. One of the best features is that you can upload your own lists to practice typing words you may need practice on or you own fun phrases
we need more typing games
This game is a blast to play. I really love arcade rail shooters. At first, I thought it was just typing, but found out later it also has the original game mode in it. So I immediately bought it. However, the only down sides as for now, is the support for newer computers. I am on windows 11 and this took a little of figuring out but the fix was easy once I found it. thanks to this guide.

The only problems are sometimes sound not playing in certain events, like when you are taking down the rage mutants, getting slow mode but by the normal time the dialogue stops. The dialogue just ends while in slow mode. Waiting times for the game to load. (not sure if this is normal for this version of the game. or my higher end computer)
Despite all that, the rest of the game works pretty fine and is a great experience. Only one down sides as I can see are...
No typing mode for the directors cut version of the levels and no local co-op.
Now for the more positives. This was by far the funniest installment in the House Of The Dead series, great funny lines to quote, good soundtrack, weapons to mess around with and buy, some bonus content to unlock and even a comic to read, if you can find all the pages that is. (or look it up online, idk.)
If you want to play a House Of The Dead game on Steam. Get this one, fuck the remake.
remindes me of a game when i was a kid called macon beavis were the black lady makes u type n if u typde fast enuogh she take off her top. accept here u kill zombes. back than i cuold never get macons chocolet woppers but i did kill all the zombes so i will try agian now. ok by.
As you can see, I've played the hell out of this game since not only can you play the typing mode but also the normal point and shoot mode. I have to admit that the typing mode is indeed more fun because I'm crazy for typing a lot and who doesn't enjoy killing zombies (or mutants as they call it but they're fricking zombies, get over it) with a keyboard. It's a sad shame the other Typing of the Dead games aren't available on Steam as they deserve to be sold on here and played since they're equally fun to play and I would know as I also played the first Typing of the Dead on the Sega Dreamcast at a gaming expo. I would love for it if Sega could put all the games up onto Steam for us to play. Maybe even contract Nightdive to handle them. I'd welcome it!
The grind house story is a lot of fun. I love how delightfully profane it is. Typing is the best way to play. My only complaint was that it was difficult to switch which enemy or object you were targeting.
Rail shooter's are better than whatever modern trash where being force fed today!
Fun game with a very over the top vulgar silly story which I loved, but the typing mechanics are super basic and janky. Fun enough for 4 hours (and it's good that it's not longer), but it didn't age super well so I'd get it on a sale, which it has not gone on from 2017 until 2024, which is weird. I hope it will keep going on sales now, cause it's not worth full price today for 4 hours of janky outdated typing game mechanics with the sort of (self-aware) low-brow humour that won't be to everyone's liking.
The DLC consists of extra word banks and a gamemode where instead of typing you just point and click, and those are both pointless, avoid.
One of the reasons I got a gaming PC was to play this game! I love to type and I love the good memories it brings of going to the movie theater with my older brother and playing "House of The Dead" before or after watching a movie :3 <3
Love RaGa :D
Tries too hard to be vulgar and obscene. If you came for the typing like me, you're better off on monkeytype.
you guessed it if you love to be challenged in a typing war with zombies then this is your game, a fun way to sharpen those typing skills in a fun twisted manner
This is probably the most immature game I've played since the Newgrounds days and it's to the point where it gets in the way of the experience. The dialogue is extremely obnoxious and the team's sense of humor can be boiled down to swearing every third word and making banal sex jokes. If that's your kind of humor you may find this game tolerable, but for everyone else I really just recommend emulating the original.
While not as unique or novel as the original Typing of the Dead, this game still manages to be a fun, if short, experience. The main issues I have with it lie in the final boss relying on shitty mechanics and a few technical problems I encountered. This game is a bit of a steal if you can get it on sale as it comes with Typing of the Dead Overkill as well as House of the Dead Overkill. Likely due to the fact that TOTD:O is essentially the same game with the only difference being typing instead of shooting.
DOGS OF THE AMS, TIME THEY RELEASED THIS. Isaac Washington should be a playable character in more Sega games.
If you liked the OG Typing of the Dead, the chances are you're gonna like this one too. The graphics aren't great, the soundtrack is pretty atmospheric and funky at times and the gameplay is all about... you've guessed it... typing.
if you like typing games i would recommend this, i am a big fan of HOTD so any one of these games i probably will enjoy.
this games voice acting stinks, but thats partly why HOTD is so famous. if you find cheesy stuff funny, i think you should stick around. TOTD:OK has a bit of crappy VA.
as well in this copy you get the regular rail shooter as well, so you dont have to just play with typing. If you get bored with that you can switch to the other game and use mouse instead.
the gameplay is nothing too special, if youve never played HOTD its just a rail shooter. you watch the scenes then shoot the zombies and save civvies, only as complex as most railshooters go. its somewhat a good game to turn your brain off to, a good time killer.
I like this game. play it you absolute simpleton.
