In this VR fantasy adventure, you are a wizard journeying through Meliora after a dark plague twists its inhabitants. You face the realm’s dangers and investigate the forbidden powers and rogue wizards behind the crisis.
Cast 11 spells using hand gestures, switching between magical attacks and defensive shields as you fight enemies. Traverse the world with smooth or teleport locomotion and explore areas including a blighted forest, poisonous swamps, and a necropolis.
Play the story campaign solo, or join up to two other players in a separate co-op mode. Co-op wizards use Fire, Frost, or Storm skills to battle enemy variants and tackle level challenges; additional modes include New Game+, Hardcore, and a Sandbox Arena.
Some reviewers enjoy the gesture-based spellcasting, magical combat, and the single-player campaign, describing the spells as satisfying or immersive. Others report casting and hand-position problems, and opinions differ on the visuals. Multiplayer reliability and bugs also draw criticism in several reviews.
