The game is now available on PC, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android for $1.99. I played an early build with my colleague Aaron Souppouris at Gamescom (see video below). It's hilariously addictive, especially once you start eyeing your opponent's argument-in-process. Instead of perfecting your own insult, it's often better to "block" your rival by selecting the words they most badly need. If you're a Twitch streamer, there's also a mode that allows spectators to vote on their favorite put-downs and increase their damage. Sometimes, it would seem, the slur is mightier than the sword.
