I really enjoy the idea of spell combos, casting things with user input, shameless plug for Lina: Suika Hunt a game of mine which also relies on fast directional input, and let’s not forget Helldivers 2 with it’s strategems
Unlocking new spells, learning what they do, trying to figure out and outcombo an enemy is satisfying and you feel more and more powerfull over the run.
Graphicall the game looks really good for a jam game, it has some pixel scaling mis-match but nothing offputting. Spell effects are cool, and many mechanics to learn. Music and sounds effects are nice.
The only thing that hinders this game at the moment are the few bugs left here and there, some small, some bigger, but after those are ironed out, I can see a nice future ahead of this game! BUT! I persisted through and didn’t regretted it, had a blast shredding other wizards with Sandstorm!
