game is not so long and not so hard but definitley you will have fun playing with friends together on discord. Any other way is much less enjoyable imo.
We've had the BEST time playing this game. Kids older elementary through high school playing cooperatively together with mama. Success!
I like Trine series, so I've played this game and it was rather good, mechanic of combining several types of magic, bosses and world overall kept my attention for all the game
HC is not that hard, but challenging
9,5/10
This is a really fun, approachable couch co-op twin-stick shooter. It has a fun theme and lots of collectable items, upgradable skills, and unlockable characters, that encourages replaying earlier levels. It has rock-paper-scissor game mechanics that encourages the team to work together when fighting monsters, and it is fairly forgiving when players screw up. We have had a lot of laughs with this one, and it feels like we accomplished something, even when we only managed to unlock a hat of stun-resistance.
Amazingly good local-coop game! The people of Trine know how to make a good game!!! Get 4 friends you want to campaign with, and just buy it. Full price, half price.. it's worth it.
You know what's mental? The way life sometimes hands you these perfectly flawed gems that you can't help but love, like that weird uncle who tells inappropriate jokes at Christmas but makes the best pudding you've ever tasted. That's Nine Parchments for you.
Let me tell you a story. Last week, I'm sitting there with my kid, right, playing this gorgeously crafted magical romp that looks like Disney had a baby with a fireworks factory. We're bouncing spells off each other like we're in some demented wizard circus, and half the time I'm accidentally freezing her character solid while she's gleefully electrocuting mine. It's absolute chaos, and we're loving every second of it.
But here's the thing - it's like that time I bought a fancy coffee machine. Looks brilliant, makes a decent cuppa, but it's got so many buttons and settings that you end up just pressing the same three over and over because who's got time to experiment when you just want your morning fix? That's what happens with the spells in this game. Sure, there's loads of them, but you'll find your favorites and stick to them like a pensioner to their favorite chair at the pub.
Playing solo? That's about as fun as going to a party where you don't know anyone and the host has disappeared. The game will batter you about like a ping pong ball in a tornado until you either give up or get lucky. But bring a friend along, and suddenly it's like adding vodka to a boring party - everything gets more entertaining, even if someone occasionally gets hurt.
The level design is gorgeous but linear as a Roman road. Imagine walking through an art gallery where someone's installed guide rails - you can see all these lovely bits off to the sides, but you're basically being shoved forward like a shopping trolley with a dodgy wheel. And don't get me started on the camera in co-op mode. It's like trying to take a group selfie where someone always ends up getting their head cut off, except here they actually die after 5 seconds off-screen.
Look, if this game were a person, it'd be that friend who's absolutely brilliant at karaoke but only knows three songs. You'll have a blast every time you hang out, but you'll wish they'd learn some new material. The bosses are like those bouncers who look tough but are actually teddy bears - it's the regular punters you need to watch out for.
But you know what? Despite all its quirks - or maybe because of them - Nine Parchments is like that local pub that's rough around the edges but serves a proper pint. It's not perfect, but when you're there with good company, you wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
Nine Parchments is like a wizard's apprentice: Full of potential, occasionally sets things on fire, but charming enough to get away with it.
Bought this game on sale and it's been a blast. Playing solo or Co-Op locally. My old laptop can even run the game and it still looks beautiful. Fun mechanics. Fun idea for a game.
This game needs to be marked more clearly that it is an controller game. It is so frustrating without, makes it really difficult to enjoy. Tutorial level doesn't have the clearest of directions, Once you get the hang of it, it does seem to be quite repetitive but that makes it difficult for new players to pick it up. Not for single-players.
I was drawn in by the art style and marketing, and find myself a little disappointed.

Played this years ago on the switch but now that I'm playing on PC, I'm seeing for the first time how beautiful the world of Nine Parchments can be.
Gameplay is really solid too - you can go spells blazing or be patient and blast enemies from afar.
Good game. Balance is kind of all over the place though. All the characters are strong in their own way, but some characters are just clearly overpowered compared to some others. I'll let you figure out which ones when you play.
Having played many, this remains my favourite couch coop of all time. There is so much fun to be had along the campaign, along with so much replay ability it is well worth the purchase on sale or not, Truly an underrated title.
So replayable!
Too long gameplay for 1 dollar ffs
Killed my bf during a raid 10/10
The gameplay can be too repetitive but for a 5h playthrough, it's fine.
good with friends (online coop)
Beautiful visuals. Runs smoothly. I normally am not good with shooting games, but I quickly got the hang of this game. I appreciate how easy it was to learn. I'd say this probably is a great entry-level game into ARPGs. Local coop works great with one person using a controller and one using mouse and keyboard. My friend and I played on easy mode because it was almost impossible for us to get through the first few levels on normal mode -- there were too many monsters. Even easy mode is enough challenge for us. The whole game took around 12 hours for us to complete (on Easy mode). I'm not too much of a completion-ist, so I don't mind not unlocking all the characters and gear through multiple replays, but I'll probably revisit this game after some time has passed.
I adore this game of the Trine world. And wish the developer creates one more like this one.
It is a chill type of game, that I return to play from time to time. The music is lovely, the scenery is lovely, the skills are cool.
Most reviews talk about team playing, which is fun, but soloing it is just as good. Not as fun per se, but with the music and talks - it is great!
It was fun at first but after a while it was a war of attrition. The game actively summons enemies to negate your spells. Say you have a fire and ice spell, the game will summon an ice enemy with a fire shield which means neither element works. Sometimes enemies will spawn wit AOE shields so any enemy within that area negates the element which is always fun when 4 enemies have shields that all overlap and stop you from using half of your spell book. I imagine it was to stop the player from hoarding too many of the same spells but considering the spell drops are random each play through, its hard to form a strategy. Doesn't help that some spells are just garbage and if you're really unlucky that's all you'll be able to grab.
Towards the end of the game it really became all about numbers. Instead of having to form a strategy, the game summons more enemies that attack faster and do more damage than you. and some of the enemy combinations actively make the game hell to play. Checkpoints can be hit or miss.
You cannot turn off friendly fire.
You cannot revisit levels if you missed something(a character for instance), you MUST play the ENTIRE GAME AGAIN to get back to that level.
Enemies scale with player count which means you can be stuck on tiny platforms with 10-15 enemies.
You don't have I frames on revival. I played in co-op. Lots of times the enemies would kill both my friend and I immediately after one picked the other up.
It's also incredibly easy to get stun locked, lightning spells are awful for that. In one of the later levels I got frozen and then surrounded by a group of enemies who beat the shit out of me until I died. It was funny but damn was it also frustrating.
It can be a fun game if you're playing A) alone as there are less enemies and B) on a lower difficulty because the enemies are doing. If you're still interested in trying it I recommend picking it up on a sale.
Edit; my own personal nitpick.
The hats you pick up in game are inventory items. I get it was to trade dupes with other people for hats you didn't have but in the year 2024, no one is doing that. Please let me turn them into gems, they're cluttering up my inventory and I CAN'T GET RID OF THEM.
kill the mobs, kill the bosses, kill your friends xD
Magika vibes, didn't like it at first, but when u get used to it is very fun to play <3
Good co-op fun (online) , its the same game as Magicka 1/2 regarding gameplay and mechanics.
6-7 hours long for a single playthrough.
Whoever FORCED this game to have friendly fire, deserves to chew rocks the rest of their life. That's how it feels when you play a game with such huge abilities. I like the game, but had to return it cause it's impossible to play if your companion is constantly freezing, stunning, burning etc you all the time. Plus the 300 million jumping, chanrging and -anything you can think that will make you be stunned- enemies attacking you. Ah, and you can heal the enemies lmao. Terrible gameplay, beautiful scenes and graphics. Interesting story. Poorly executed.
Insanely underrated game. It plays a *bit* like Magicka, but instead of building your own spells, you get to choose from a random selection at various points (in a similar fashion as Hades boons, for instance).
It's very fun, it's beautiful (of course, it's in the Trine universe), and the characters are absolutely charming.
This game deserves more love.
i can not belive i got this game with that price (sale)!!!! this is so so pretty remind me of harry potter and baulder gate 3. might be my favorit game now i want to play all the characters
I have gotten this product as part of the TrineVerse bundle!
Another element to emphasize is despite me having this time measured my actual time on the game is more inline to the 50 hour mark if counting my friends' profiles which we played on their accs using the LOCAL CO OP
When showing my friends the trine game, theyu got a bit of tired with the mechanics, but when I introduced 9P to my friends they fell in love with the game's gameplay, graphics and co-operative interractions (same elements that made Trine very like-able, but different).
This game is similar to a Paradox game called magicka, where it's basically a top down shooter with magics and tricks instead of guns, but unlike magicka where you mix elements into combos and spells, you are tied to a spell wheel, that you just cycle through, and each spell has it's own mana, I'll move on to pros and cons
Pros:
1. Simple and easy to learn game mechanics that can be mastered and used with your friends to a complex degree
The game does have a deep skilltree as well for each character, and it takes a while to complete
2. Difficulty actually works as intended
3. Fun enemy types aside from 1 single enemy
4. LOCAL CO-OP with actual player interractions featured in mind, to me it boils to moba-like team fights by tagging enemies, using heals and cc, baiting, etc...
5. A lot of settings to alter the gameplay experience to your liking (difficulty, friendly fire, spell order per player, etc).
6. A replayable campaign and a "co-op challenge series" mode called the Astral Arena
Top tier graphics, just check community content, some of it is just screen shot, I found myself just screenshotting the game a lot... And it can even run on my gpu less laptop
7. Being top down makes the local concept really good as well, unlike cod you don't need to worry about a screen splitting \ tearing and every1 not seeing shit
8. Controller only kinda balances it out, overall a well balanced game where all roles feel fulfilled at the same time
9. game is simplified compared that can be a good thing since friends won't be overwhelmed by the game, and they will find the interesting mechanics of spell, single button blink (magicka doesn't have it, blink is instead a spell made of combo making blink annoying, and a bit spammy)... This one also has the con side
Cons (a lot of it contains a direct comparisson to magicka):
1. Lack of PVP, but the base mechanics for PVP are kinda bad so take it as it is (I dunno how pvp is in magicka, but it has it)
2. Compaired to magicka it's way less creative, since you will have up to 9 spell per run, while in magicka you have 8 elements, 2 extra elements that are element mixes, and up to 5 slots per charge, where you can cast torwards, aoe, self and weapon, now in 9p all you got is the spell wheel, blink and a melee atk.... Magicka just has way more combo and so much more ways to interract with the game and world
3. repetitive, you don't really want to play again immidietly after completing the campaign, even if the astral arena is a bit different
4. Most characters don't differ in gameplay by a unique way and are usually driven to damage types and starting spells.
All in All the game is extremely good, but it's degsigned to play with friends, do it either physical or remote play
Good game to play with friends, alone is ok too, but if you get some friends to join in thats where the fun is
o/
game feels better than it looks
Scratches the Magicka itch and has a fun campaign to do with friends! The progression system for unlocking character variants is cool as well.
Getting it on sale is more worth your while, and lets you buy 4 copies for your friends without hurting the wallet too much
I love Nine Parchments, I have around 300 hours between my various devices, its a fun wizard 2D shooter, with good buildcrafting, makes for a great small (<4 person) party game, fun to run adventures with friends :]
I've grew up playing the likes of Gauntlet, and this game itches that craving. If there is one way I can describe Nine Parchments is "organized chaos"; developer Frozenbyte calls this a "blast 'em up" and I think it's a very accurate way to describe it.
Gameplay-wise, it's pretty much Magicka but fancier and prettier. You have a bunch of spells and blast enemies away in an isometric view akin to Action RPGS like Diablo.
Positioning is key in this game, especially if playing online. The game has a forced friendly-fire that cannot be turned off; usually I frown on this kind of feature but it's incredibly fitting for this title and adds an extra layer of strategy, changing the way you approach encounters instead of just mindlessly shooting enemies. Your own spells can damage you if careless.
Combat is a constant puzzle as enemies have elemental weaknesses and resistances, and certain enemies come with auras that negate other damage types.
This game features a huge variety of different elemental spells. It also has healing magic, but even those need to be properly spaced, because they will affect enemies and heal them too.

Strengths
✅ Gorgeous graphics and effects. The environments are varied and detailed and the character designs very expressive. It has that signature "faerie" vibe you'd expect from a Frozenbyte game. Everything feels whimsical.
✅ Combat and progression feels rewarding and engaging, with a large variety of spells you can unlock as you progress through the game.
✅ Tons of unlockables, with different characters with their own starting spells, staves to help tailor your builds and hats (which are just cosmetics).
✅ Different ways to build your characters. You can even make a dedicated healer (which is vital to any party if playing co-op).
✅ Talent trees to make you specialize into specific aspects of your build.
✅ Supports both online and local co-op (simultaneously) with up to four players.
✅ When playing on co-op, certain spells interact with one another. For example, you can cross beam-type spells with another player to create a more powerful beam.
✅ Boss encounters are incredibly well designed and with their own unique mechanics.
Weaknesses
❌ The controls will sometimes bug when joining an online game, where it'll recognize the mouse and keyboard erroneously instead of the gamepad.
❌ Even when playing fully online, the camera tends to center on the host.
❌ This game is a bit TOO chaotic online if playing with randoms online; I strongly recommend playing with friends (it'll still be chaotic but not so much).
❌ Enemy variety is a bit lacking. You'll always fight the same enemy types in every stage, with different colors to indicate their elemental affinities.
❌ Some characters are locked behind very specific achievements that are a bit of an ordeal to unlock.
[hr][/hr]
Overall, this game is incredibly fun and addicting. I can't stress enough how much it truly shines on multiplayer.
If you like titles like the classic Gauntlet, Magicka and even other ARPGs, you'll like this one. If you're already a fan of Frozenbyte's Trine series, there are also some references to them.
Would be 10x better if your character stayed in the middle of the screen. Or at bare minimum, on screen.
Really simple but nice to play with friends
