Nine Parchments

TL DR: Good game, good spellcasting, many fun abilities to heal your teammates. But multiplayer mode doesn't work at all. Thus, wasted potential and big dissapointment for those who love to heal allied players Details: With all due repsect to dev and the great work they done (combat, spellcasting, msuic, etc)... Too many moments in this game show them as caring and ambitious, but shortsighted and hasty. Developer instantly included: 1. MOBA-like lobby system and stylistics (fancy animations, character-themed buzzwords and puns, etc) 2. huge amounts of passive abilities to create truly fun symbiosis between healer and his allies. Or at least that's what ability description promises. 3. Comsetics system that can be bought and sold for a small penny It's like dev instantly expected his game to gain small fame, with hundreds of players playing across the globe and few dozens of players being active on the server daily. Game derserves that, if you ask me, but you can't expect this to happen instantly. ANd looking at the aspects I mentioned above, devs actually expected that It didn't happened. Multiplayer system doesn't works. It keeps crashing, kicking players out of the session, even hosts. Ability to make server private doesn't works, it's always becomes public. Option to turn off friendly fire doesn't exists either, letting griefers to raid servers unchecked... unless they gonna be kicked out within seconds, like it happens most of the time with literally everyone Of course, dev tried to fix that on multiple occasion. He apologized to players for this major inconvinience and I want to thank him for it. Like I said, he is caring dev and I appreciate that alot. But he failed to do it. Multiplayer wasn't fixed. I like PvE co-op and I LOVE to heal. But making this game too dependant on said Co-Op from the start was a mistake. What if multiplayer won't be working? what if players won't care? And too many healing abilities became a deadweight, their great potential died stillborn. For me it feels like purest Torment of Tantalus. BUt developer tried, and I appreciate them alot for that. But if you, like myself, like "MEDIC GAMING!" and co-op with bufs, you might find this game a bit dissapointing. Just a warning for said healer lovers and a bit of venting

A great game for co-op play. Bright and fun. The fact that healing spells heal enemies adds a special touch to the experience. This forces you to approach each level with special attention and precision.

Всей душой люблю Nine Parchments. Я проходила ее много раз, одна и в коопе. И каждый раз это было весело, как в первый. Игра не балует сложным сюжетом, напротив, он здесь прост как три копейки. Ты не очень одаренный студент-маг, ищешь потерянные магические свитки. И все. Казалось бы - скучно. Но магия игры заключается в других вещах. Это, к примеру, реально впечатляюще красивые локации. Это довольно прикольные боссы, некоторые из которых дают порядком просраться. Это уникальные реплики персонажей в коопе. Это музыка. Это получение коллекционок. Это мясорубка из заклинаний, которые уничтожают все живое. Прокачка персонажей с интересными билдами и механиками, наконец. И все в сумме складывается в классный игровой опыт, ощущение увлекательного магического путешествия. Играйте все! Играйте в коопе, это в тыщу раз веселее! И давайте все вместе сложим руки в молитве за то, чтобы когда-нибудь мир увидел Nine Parchments 2. Или хоть маленькую dlc. Что-нибудь. Пожажуста :с
