There are a handful of games that feel completely at home on Microsoft’s brand new platform. One look at WordBattle and it becomes clear that this is one such title, meticulously crafted exclusively for Windows 8.
This word puzzle game allows playing online versus friends and random opponents, while also throwing in an offline mode against a friend on the same device. And if you want to play alone and try to beat the time, this app has also got this covered.
Here is a selection from the lengthy official description that details the gameplay:
