Counter Spell

in general, i like the game, however i think it needs a lot of work. the questing system is bad, and the inventory system is also a bit dodgy. there could be a bit more characters in the game, NPCs that you actually can interact with. so far all i've seen is 1 vendor, 1 guard, and a few quest givers. the game has a great style and i would love to see it being worked on. the game will give you an hour of enjoyment, after that your basically done with it. Good game, but not finnished. will not recomend it for now.

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.

The game is great. Has a lot of gamemodes for pvp and pve. Bring your friends for an enjoyable co-op! :D For the price , I recommend it and I hope the developer will add more to this game like procedurally generated world for an endless adventure , more weapons , more maps , more enemy types. Keep it up dev!

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.

Constantly getting better with updates rapidly developing and an extremely community-involved dev. I reccomend anyone to give this game a chance and the longer you wait the richer in content and the better the game gets.I do reccomend that you get friends to play it with you for a whole new experience.

This game was a complete experience when I purchased it years ago for about 3 bucks on sale. Since then the Dev(s) have added and continued working on the entire Reforged expansion including a whole new map to quest in with each area being useable in the existing (and new) arcade style modes like survival or hostage rescue. Best of all, Reforged is just free content. Even if I end up not liking the direction it goes in, I didn't pay for it. Years after my initial purchase I've come back, reported bugs, gotten responses and patches very quickly and played with new content. That kinda blows my mind, ya know.

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.

I made the mistake of making a female warlock character before the "Improved human models" Update, and while looking for an outfit that was a little more modest than the default, (None are) I ran across one where she is only covered by little X's of what I assume is meant to be tape. That crossed lines I don't want to cross, so no, I cannot recomend this game any more.

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 love this game, Buy it now. They are activly adding content to this and it is worth the price many times over.
