Very fun game, have played it solo and with friends. With 6 classes and various game modes, has good replayability, not to mention the farming aspect to get gear sets youd want. Reminds me of a diablo but as a first person. Dev is very receptive to the community and has good communications. Would recommend higher if I could.

If you enjoyed old RPGs like Hexen, Daggerfall, Enclave, Gauntlet or Thief, buy Counter Spell! This game may be Early Access, but you're getting a quality game with tons of content for under $10. ▼ THE GOOD ▼ ● Singleplayer took me 5-6 hours with the Warlock Class the first time. About 2 hours as the Shaman the next. It takes long enough that you'll feel satisfied but short enough you won't get bored. Also you can play Singleplayer with friends :) ● The game world is a LOT bigger than you'd think! It's not Skyrim big, but big for an indie game and filled with hidden passages, loot and monsters. ● Each class has their own unique spells but most of the funnest ones are at max level so it gives you something to work towards (like the "vine-ladder" spell in the trailer). The game also let's you blatantly see what spells you'll unlock when picking a class. ● Very well balanced! You should reach level 20 (max) by the time you reach the final boss without any grinding outside of killing everything you see once. The game does a good job being tough, but not impossible and has harder modes for those who find it too easy. ● Treasure and enemies respawn so you don't need to worry if you miss anything, chances are you can find it again. ● Aside from the passive quests (kill enough enemies in zone-1, collect 3 unique items from zone-1, kill a unique boss / enemy in zone-1) there are player activated repeatable quests. These are great for leveling up as most of them spawn lots of enemies in an area that's just been cleared. ● TONS of other game modes for Co-op and PVP! ● In-game Map Editor is very in-depth and allows some super complex builds. ● Constant game updates. We're talking a couple a week (depending on what's added), not once every 5 months. ▼ THE BAD ▼ ● Finding other players online is a bit tough since the player base is so small. This isn't really a problem with the game, just it's popularity. If you're buying Counter Spell specifically for multiplayer, make sure you have some friends to play with you. ● Online play can be very laggy depending on the host and result in game crashes. ● The Map Editor doesn't have a tutorial and is very complicated to learn. ● Ranged enemies are all over the place making the fighter classes very difficult as a starting character. ● Combat is shooting with spells / arrows or slashing with a sword. If you've played one mage, your basic attacks won't change, only your spells. There isn't any way to "fix" this, I just found the game gets a bit grindy on your second playthrough with a similar class. ● XP drops from enemies in the form of purple crystals and forces the player to collect them. This isn't so bad at first, but try doing it for the entire game. Quests give XP instantly and even playing online shares XP as soon as an enemy is killed, so I'm not sure why the crystals are there. ● Enemy AI either "sees you" or "doesn't see you yet". When activated, they'll run towards the player no matter the distance until you or they are dead. NOTE: Minions use the same AI so they will aggro everything they see. I'm not really complaining about this feature because the AI works fine for what the game is, but I didn't consider it a "good" selling feature :P If you want to see some gameplay, here's my First Look video where I explain the basic game mechanics and show a few spoilers about the end-game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5zmVlBg5Ss Thanks for reading! I hope you found this review helpful ^_^ v.

Ah. Counter Spell. How I love the. This game is insane once you get into it. And no we're not talking rubber room insanity here. This is full on 25+ enemies rushing you and your party that total only 3 or 4 people. Sure you can have more people if they join you or if you drag them into it. But you will know when you find that other person that knows what they're doing with this game. Because then things just explode forward. Survival is the best mode in my opinion. Endless waves of enemies that grow in level. Your level caps at 20, but not the enemies. If you can survive. As of right now, me and some other people have hit wave 200. And because I had to go, didn't get a chance to see how much longer we've could've gotten. The enemies were level 50 or 45 I believe, while again we stayed at level 20. As for the other modes. I've not tried them much. But it mostly depends on what you like and who you play with. You can build maps then upload it to the workshop. Which the building system is a little tricky, but you can do quite a bit with it. Plus it's fun to make a map then survive on it. Let's talk about the dev a moment. The dev is great with updates and he/she listens to suggestions and updates roll out regularly. Which is a huge plus for this game, and I love how this game is shaping up to be. 15/10 Gameplay 15/10 For the dev being active. 10/10 for the graphics 20/10 for the price 999999999999999999999999999999999999% Fun.

Probably the best indie game i've played tbh, had an awesome time with my friend. My friend and i played it back in 2015 and leveled a character to 20. Today my friend and i played it for the first time since then, and i'm really happy to see a reforged version and work still being done. TLDR; if you have the money to spare or it's on sale, buy it :)

Keep it up dev!

I wish I could give this game a billion stars. I've convinced 8 of my friends to buy it and I've had infinite fun on it. The creators are extremely active in the forums, helping with bugs and anything else. They're on top of updates and they clearly just care a lot about the game. In turn, so do I. This might be my favorite Steam game of all time and I own ~45. Please buy this game and get your friends to buy the game. It may be difficult to convince them because of the way it looks, but it's a unique game, unlike any other I've played, and it's just so much fun. There is no way you won't love this game.

I don't know why but I really like this. The graphics are very pleasant, they do not distract. They immerse. It reminds me of Strife. An old FPS with RPG elements. A town with both waterways and alleys, forests, castles, ships dungeons, sewers et cetera. The maps are enough to confuse at times but not confound. A solution generally shows itself soon enough. The sound is good enough for jazz, nothing spectacular but again it adds to the game. I have not tried MP yet, only the QUEST mode which is the basic single player RPG. How many hours it'll take to complete, I don't know...but I'll find out. EDIT I have played MP and it is a hoot. The game plays at the host's level so think ahead before person A joins person B. The graphics look better than before?

This is not only one of the very best RPGs I have played in years, but it also has great multiplayer integration! You can play with friends with shared experience and have a lot of fun exploring a world that is absolutely packed full of content! The game has several modes, but I have only gone through the regular quest so far. The enemies are brilliantly designed, and they each have a unique fighting style that I think added a lot to the overall experience. The combat is so enjoyable that I found myself seeking out battles wherever I could find them! It has a LOT in common with old PC immersive sims like Thief, giving the game a very nostalgic feel. It is not grindy whatsoever. Enemy levels do suggest a sequence of events, but in no way are you ever blocked off with a hard wall you cannot cross. It's always possible to sneak into high-leveled areas and grab some cool loot. If you are someone who dislikes the path that games have been going down in recent years and wish that you could go back to when games were less grindy and restrictive, and allowed you to freely explore and enjoy the world at your own pace, then be sure to give this one a try! If you like this sort of game, you will sink in 6 hours at the absolute minimum if you do not try any other modes and you complete it quickly. The way this game deals with resources is also brilliant. It reminds me a lot of Resident Evil, in the sense that I only ever had exactly how much was needed to make it through each given area. You can return to old areas and find useful items if necessary, but returning to old locations is not required. NOTE: This game does not have a dialogue system or detailed quest lines. It's more about combat and battling your way through areas and dungeons.
