About
Follow the story of the purple-cloaked runaway wizard, Arif, on his quest to save his friend’s life. In a world where wizardry is outlawed, the magicians, Arif and his companion Veleus, were captured by a group of agents during their escape from the Kingdom of Duredyll and thrown into the dungeons. One day, Veleus, was sentenced to fight for his life in Atixa’s Grand Colosseum, run by a powerful mage by the name ‘Parthax’. Veleus fought valiantly, but was severely injured and incapacitated following his defeat. Arif heard rumors of his condition and knew the only way to save his friend would be to surpass any opponent standing in his way of attaining the champion’s prize, his friend’s only salvation, the Gift of Parthax.

To everyone saying they're experiencing the bug of the game freezing after a new file, the developer posted this solution: [quote]You will need to select Gift of Parthax in your Steam library and then right click on it. A dropdown menu will appear and there you need to choose "Properties -> Local Files -> Browse...". In there open the "Gift of Parthax_Data" folder and then "StreamingAssets". Then delete all the files in the StreamingAssets folder.[/quote] The game itself is fine offering around 2-3 hours of content and pretty easy achievements. The developer is also responsive and still updating and fixing the game. Definitely worth it for me.
WARNING This game is a scam It will always crash right after the "choose difficulty" screen. Dev hasn't fixed it yet after over a year.
1/ The "mostly negative" rating is not unearned. 2/ I've finished the game, and still have no idea what the hell Parthax's gift is. 3/ Come for the bugs, stay for the grind, forget about the story: the script and the monologues fit on a small sheet of paper. Oh, and it does not even make much sense. 4/ Even NPCs are bored by this game: it's all about fighting in an arena and "pleasing the crowd", but... you won't see a single spectator! The only time you'll hear them is upon casting some special, powerful spells (which are not very useful, actually). 5/ If you're a completionist, be aware that two achievements are bugged and impossible to unlock, unless using a third-party hack.
TLDR: game is boring and too easy Graphics are retro which are okay at best Story is nothing special it might as well not exist. Combat is just shooting spells and enemies and running away. It gets boring after a while. Also the game gives you too much money to the point where you don't even need to run away as much as you can buy 10 health potions making it too easy to beat.
This game had potential but, its a buggy mess. Here are some of the bugs you will encounter first off you have to delete a file in the games folder to even get the game to play, 2nd spells constantly break when swapping forcing you to have to go to the main menu and back in to be able to change them, 3rd "arch spells" cannot be changed, doing it the normal way you change spells doesn't work, 4th there are unobtainable achievements. The game is very easy, bosses are the only "challenging" part and most of them are easy as well. Spells vary from useless to super strong the first 2 spells you get are literally good enough to beat the game by themselves just put burning runes maxed on them (runes also have this problem of varying from useless to super good). You'll max out runes by the 3/4 boss and pretty much have nothing to spend money on unless you just want to buy max potions. Enemies are either just reskins of earlier versions or new ones that spam multiply spells. The game is cheap and probably goes on sale for pretty cheap but honestly I'd recommend using your time on a different game.
Not a big fan. Its an okay game, but it has some serious issues in terms of being both short and very repetitive. Essentially, the entire game is just the same thing with 5 different sets of skins (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Blood). But what really makes the repetitiveness worse is the mediocre combat. The spell cooldown times are way too long, to the extent that combat feels like it was designed with the goal of lengthening the game. In less than 3 hours I managed to beat the game. There are two endings (depending on whether you spare or kill the bosses, minus Parthax, who you can kill without punishment) There is an Easy and Normal mode, along with a Hardcore mode where if you die once, the game ends instantly. However, I don't think this game is really worth challenging.
Игра страдает от убогого однообразия. Враги одни и те же, арены пустые, а контента хватает от силы на пару часов. Техническое состояние оставляет желать лучшего. Вылеты, кривая оптимизация и куча мелких багов сопровождают весь процесс. Говнo.
Gözüken 15 dakika oyunun açılmasını beklemekle geçti. Sonuç: Hüsran, açılmadı. Oysaki ne hayaller kurmuştum bu oyunla ilgili.
game looks decent but it doesnt even start for me, just click new game then choose difficulty and it stays stuck on a blank picture of a book indefinitely
Подождал 5 минут после нажатия на кнопку "новая игра" Но чудо не произошло.. Она не играется от слова совсем. 1 криворукий разраб из 10
