Nine Parchments

You play as apprentice wizards pursuing the lost Nine Parchments through a sequence of fantasy levels. The campaign can be played alone or with up to three other players, locally or online.

Combat is a real-time, twin-stick spell shooter: move and aim while switching between magical attacks to fight creatures and bosses. Enemies can resist particular elements, so your choice of spells matters; some attacks can also hit allies.

Earn experience to level up wizards and shape their skill trees, while collecting magical loot such as staves and cosmetic hats. Quests unlock additional characters, each with their own spells and abilities to develop.

In this helpfulness-selected sample, players who enjoy Nine Parchments most often point to its chaotic co-op spell combat, especially when playing locally with friends or family. They also praise the colorful environments and the chance to experiment with different wizards, spells, and character builds. Some find the friendly fire funny and memorable; others find it frustrating.
