Nine Parchments

One of my favorite games, with 2000+ hours on Switch and however many I have here. Does a great job of having dual-stick run and gun gameplay, while having a wide range of enemies, attacks, and elemental weaknesses and resistances that are challenging but approachable for a new player while rewarding a lot of practice. By far, it's the best as a co-op game. Unfortunately, there is no cross-play between systems. Currently (2025), PC has the most active players, followed by Switch.

Each of the nine apprentice characters has a unique starting spellbook, which grows as you collect new parchments and learn more spells. Combat is fluid and satisfying, with a variety of elemental magic types such as fire, ice, lightning, and arcane, each offering different tactical adv...

It's a beautify game. Slow start, but once you start leveling up and learning patterns, it get hard to stop playing.

really underrate couch coop wizard game where you blast monsters with spells almost as often as you blast your friends with spells

Great couch co-op experience.
