Nine Parchments

Nine Parchments

achievements

great pick for achievement-hunters. achievements are interesting, without any unfairness. most of them require using magic attacks in some way (deal XXX damage, attack XXX enemies at once, use beam for XXX seconds, etc), which require either picking a right character, leveling-up in some unorthodox way, or finding a right enemy-spawner. sweet, fine and engaging

Chasing after nine parchments: chaotic but fun

Brief Overview

Nine Parchments is a magical twin-stick shooter which can be played alone or in up to four-person co-op. The game is set in the same universe as the Trine puzzle platformer series and shares the same vibrant surroundings and enchanting atmosphere. Nine Parchments is, however, very different from Trine.

Video Review at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjJAeTXZGWU

Wizards Tourney is a competitive multiplayer party game where a mix of up to 4 human or computer players will compete in a variety of minigames individually or in a tournament setup where scores are tallied to determine the victor. This game is published and developed by A Bonfire of Souls, a pretty new studio from Spain and a big thanks to the team for providing a review key for me to check this out.

Wizards Tourney starts off with a short story explaining the events of how this tournament came to be. A powerful elite force takes over the old tournament and a rogue group of wizards from all around decide to start their own tournament to show off who is the best wizard in all the lands. The story serves as nothing more than a brief introduction into the world of the game and it would have been nice to see it fleshed out more.

There are several minigames, not too many. They resemble each other, that is true. 2-3 of them are fun, while others are dull. The character skins and environments are soft colore and the movements in the games are a bit slow-paced, so the game lacks tension a little bit. Also, there is nothing else than those minigames, so you play it and it finishes. Can be fun for half an hour at night with your friends over, no more than that. But it wouldn’t hurt to have in your library.

+Bots are available in the game, so you can also play single player when you are bored.

This game is really fun with friends. It’s similar to other games of this genre, but with the added thing that you have to memorize where the ingredients are, so more confusion and more chaos! And there’s a good challenge to get all 3 stars. I wasn’t sure at first, but after few hours played, it’s really good.

Abracadabrew is a very fun little game !

The point is very simple : you have to find ingredients to brew a series of potions in a very messy room. Quite simple in its core, but, as the amount of potions, ingredients and rules increase, you and your friends must find a strategy to be as efficient as possible.

For me, Abracadabrew is much more a game about communication than memory. Finding a way to communicate efficiently with your partner goes a long way into completing the last levels.

As you understand, I think it’s a game better experienced with friends or SO.

THE GOOD:

Starting up was super easy. We only needed one copy of the game so I downloaded it, we all downloaded the app (onto our Galaxy S7 Edges) and connected to my wifi (on 2.4Ghz because my 5Ghz seems to sputter sometimes with everything I try to connect to it), started the game and put in a label, started the app on our phones connected and hit “Start” on the game (on the PC). We waited for only a few brief moments for each player to get their starting dialog and get connected with the other players. It was literally that easy.

pros:

  • The local co-op. A unique opportunity to play the game on one screen with 5 friends. Players are not required to sit at computer or hold a joystick. Each player can take their favorite place in the room and play with their smartphone.

  • The battle. Interesting and intense battles with multiple abilities and friendly fire.

  • Semi-turn-based combat provides time to think over your tactics and at the same time, there is virtually no waiting time for other players or enemies moves.
