This game is best enjoyed with friends. You progress through levels, upgrade spells and resistances, and collect cool cosmetics along the way. With spells that heal, stun, freeze, and explode—enhanced even further through coordination—you’ve got an exciting set of abilities that would make any RPG fan happy. Friendly fire is enabled, which means you can choose to PvP if you’d like, but it can also backfire if you’re grouped up or carelessly throwing out AoE spells. For under £4 at the time of purchase, it was absolutely worth the money. I’d definitely recommend it if you have a group of friends to play with!

One of my favorite games, with 2000+ hours on Switch and however many I have here. Does a great job of having dual-stick run and gun gameplay, while having a wide range of enemies, attacks, and elemental weaknesses and resistances that are challenging but approachable for a new player while rewarding a lot of practice. By far, it's the best as a co-op game. Unfortunately, there is no cross-play between systems. Currently (2025), PC has the most active players, followed by Switch. Personally, in terms of how much I've enjoyed the game and how much time I've spent playing it, this is standout one of the best, most valuable game purchases I've ever made. Love to Frozenbyte for creating such an exceptional title.

Nine Parchments is a co-op action RPG where you and up to three friends play as wizard students chasing runaway spells. The magic system are fun, especially in multiplayer, where chaotic spell combos (and friendly fire!) add to the hilarity. However, the game feels too linear and quickly becomes repetitive especially after boss fights, which tend to follow a predictable pattern. While the visuals are charming and the gameplay enjoyable with friends, it lacks variety and depth for those playing alone. If you're looking for a lighthearted co-op magic romp, this one's best enjoyed with a group.

On it's own, it's a decent game. But if you are playing this as a Trine fan, you may not enjoy it. It's closer to a rogue-lite than a sidescroller like Trine. I had fun with it. Levels are well designed, artstyle and atmosphere follow the trine formula. Enemy variety as well as power variety is great and lets you follow different approaches. The major thing I didn't like was that there was no level select which forces you to start all over if you want to play a specific mission or side mission. 6/10

I have MANY hours played on this game for Nintendo Switch. This game deserves a spot in everyone's library. It is the perfect couch co-op and party game. It is super fast to drop in and drop out of a game in progress and you're literally playing a bad wizard so the fact that there's friendly fire shenanigans is appropriate. BY THE WAY you CAN turn off friendly fire if you want. You can also switch to reverse friendly fire, where if you hit a teammate you take the damage instead. The art is charming, the gameplay is smooth and intuitive, and the fun is infinite. At your next party set up a four player game, have someone always manning player one, and set out controllers for players two through four. Anyone can walk up and push a button to instantly join and the same button instantly drops no matter where you are. This has been a huge hit at every gathering we have hosted and even the non-gamers give it a shot and have a blast.
