Nine Parchments

A spin-off of the Trine universe (and every bit as beautiful and engrossing), this is a co-op "dungeon" crawler for up to four people. Each "run" of the game comprises about 32 maps total, and I really don't recommend barreling them all in a single session, because - like Magicka before it - friendly fire is ON. And before you rush to find a mod that turns it off, I do kind of recommend leaving it turned on, because it's more or less baked into the experience, and finding ways to communicate and coordinate without accidentally killing each other helps develop good strategies and teamwork together. (It's also the reason none of my friends want to play it with me anymore, but I digress!) Highly recommended for folks who enjoyed Magicka back in the day, or general Diablo/Gauntlet-style gameplay plus a little extra complexity and strategy. It's great stuff!

This is just 10x inferior Magicka. There is 0 story. The gameplay is okey, but compared to Magicka2 (Which itself is considered weaker than Magicka) its meh. The leveldesign is dreadfully boring - there are so many nooks and cranies and there is nothing in them. There are like 6 types of enemies that are just colored differently. It might be okay to just chill with your friends, but playing this after Magicka makes me want to play Magicka instead.

a fun, challenging game with enjoyable character , fun diverse spells and gorgeous art direction, that is mired with some combat sections that feel incredably unfair if you made the wrong choices with your spell selection and a choppy performance where the game struggled to keep over 30fps at times (though my computer is starting to show it's ages so that could have been a factor in the performance of the game.)

You can't move the character with the mouse !!! If you assign movement to mouse clicks, it doesn't work properly, because you would have to assign up, down, left and right to a mouse click, but the game only registers for example up to mouse click. So you are obliged to use a game controller !! When i complained about that, the excuse players told was that the game was labeled as a Twin stick shooter, so the control scheme would make sense on a Twin stick shooter. I think the developers in a case like this should put in the store page a warning saying that the game only works properly with a controller or if the game recognizes it, a joystick, which nowadays very few people have and would be willing to use in a game like this.. Because there is a lot of diagonal movement, even trying to move with only a keyboard is difficult.

Simple fun, pretty cool with friends.

You need a friend to enjoy this game, solo is kinda stale

Good game, very pretty, owl boy <3
