Wands

I wish there were more players on steam this game was a gem when I played on my Oculus Go, my first vr game.

The game is basically dead with a very small player base and no support or upgrades by the Devs. It was a great game in it's day but unfortunately it never really caught on. The community. was pretty good, but they have also moved on due to the lack of support and so perhaps your money might be better spent elsewhere .

I can see who this game would appeal to, but it's not for me, it doesen't feel enough "wizardy"
The wands feel like guns, magic is just an aesthetic theme, but I just did not feel it.
I am too used with magic in other games with a more dynamic spell casting system where you can use your hands and move them around acting like a wizard, or draw runes to cast spells...
You don't have much room of playing around here as you must focus on aiming and shooting, as I said, feels like a shooter.

i really like it i thought the community seemed very friendly and helpful the game play itself was really nice

You wanna go to Hogwarts? You wanna be that badass spellcaster you've seen in a shit ton of anime? You wanna not feel pathetic fighting simple braindead-walktowardsyou AI and go against players who you have to actually think to beat?

This game's amazing and the potential here is brilliant. I didn't initially think I'd like the teleporting system but I've realised it's sort of a must for things to not become too much of a clusterfuck. Maybe adding a team mode would be nice in the future :)

There's almost always someone looking for a match and if you can't find one - just join the discord.

Best to buy and play with friends but there's an active friendly community of folks to fight too. Fantastic game.

Well worth the money. At first I was not sure if I would enjoy the game, but after playing for a bit I can already say that it was worth it.

Cool concept. I don't really like the game controls though. It just wasn't working. I couldn't change my spells to the correct one that I wanted. I refund after I played like 7 mins of the game. Took like 20 mins just to find an online challenger to play with. I don't recommend. There's no character adjustment either.

Much more fun than I imagined it would be. I would like to see more modes added, possibly a co op wave defense. Windows MR users be warned you need to edit your controllers to enable a D pad for spell selection to work properly.

This game has a very interesting concept, but is is very limited on movements: You only can teleport to several predefined places, so you can't actually fully explore the maps and hide in some places. The maps and art are totally outstanding and are worth. The online multiplayer for HTC Vive still lacks of talk chat, which would be something very desirable. I will play more and hope this improves in the future...

I am having trouble with the game. I have bought the game on steam, but whenever I play, it says that I need to upgrade to the full version of wands in order to level up past three. Kind of game breaking. Whenever I tried to load in and accidentally hit the upgrade button, my game would freeze up. Would appreciate some help.

A fun VR game where you and one other opponent enter into a 1 v 1 deathmatch against each other. You teleport to platforms around the map and each have 4 unique spells on your wands that you choose in the workshop. This adds a level of stratagy where some spells may counter others in Unique ways.

The game is all about stratagy and conserving your mana for just the right time. It deserves the upvote.

One on one magic dueling! I picked up two copies so my son and I can duel each other. Local player vs player works great as well as online. I was having trouble selecting my spells but my son says if you memorize location of spells, can just flick the touchpad up/down/right/left rather than sliding around to select. Since you can only have 4 spells at one time that should work. Game doesn't seem to have a chat feature but doesn't really hinder play. Here at home we just yell up and down stairs. Its a lot of fun! I highly recommend if you are looking for this type of game.

windows mixed reality support update please =( Please please please =(
the game opens but
direction keys do not work

This game is brilliant. I had it on Viveport subscription for a month and consequently decided to buy it on Steam.
It's a PvP game where you battle it out with wands. Quite a strategic game and highly addictive. Especially when you really, really want to beat that one person who keeps killing you.

If you don't like PvP it's not for you, as there's no real single-player mode. But if you want a PvP VR game and you've always fancied yourself as a wizard or mage, then frankly you need this game in your VR library! Plus it's actually offered at a reasonable price.

Needs more people playing it... so I highly recommend it for selfish reasons.

Edit: Wow. Since the v1.4 update this game is 100 times more beautiful in the lobby area.

Damn, i'm only level 9 and this game is TONS of fun, and can run on my pc (gtx 950, AMD A10 6800k) quite well! I do think it could be more fleshed out, however. I believe this game NEEDS an actual bot mode (not survival) for practice. I also think that more clothing, mask, and wand choices, along with spells, could make this game feel much more polished. Overall, 9/10

This game is AMAZING!!!

Pros:
Super friendly community
great graphics
season rankings
You don't have to play ranked matches
completely customizable spell loadouts
Diverse character outfits and accessories
new content updates

Cons:
Minor bugs
Since it's new on steam, slighty longer waiting times for a match during certain hours.




I highly reccommend this if you like magic-type vr games.

I purchased this game because I wanted a spell casting type game and also wanted to see if it worked with Windows Mixed Reatily headset and motion conrollers.

Core gameplay is excellent, spell casting is fun, you carry 4 spells into battle and with 22 spells to choose from it makes trying different loadouts fun. The player base is nice and there's a discord channel to talk strategy and to help find others to play with.

Though this game is just released on Steam, it's been available for GearVR, Daydream, Vive and Oculus and the multi-player is cross platform.

As for it's compatibility with Windows Mixed Reality, it technically works but the motion contollers have a compatibility issue. In order to turn your character or select between spells you need to both have a finger on the touchpad and then also move the analog stick on the same controller. This is not easily done with one hand and puts you at a disadvantage in multiplayer. However it does fully support the Xbox controller and works perfectly fine with that (HINT: To accept the EULA use the right stick to scroll and RT to check the boxes and click ACCEPT). Tracking for the controllers was great as they rarely leave your line of sight.

Beyond the WMR compatibily, I have only two suggestions:

1) On the EULA page, for those using a controller please show what buttons do what, it took me a while to discover RT was the activator button.

2) When running out of casting mana by casting too fast, there's a flash of color. It's a bit uncomfortable and may even need a seizure warning for those more sesitive.

TL;DR: Game is fun, WIndows Mixed Reality works with a gamepad controller but has issues with the motion controllers. I think I'll keep the game in hopes for a controller update to support WMR.

I don't like to give this game a bad review, because its pretty fun, but there are a few things that need to be fixed before I give it that,
one - My right controller won't stop vibrating, even after a restart and turning off the vive controller.
two - Matchmaking needs balancing, me level 3 vs a level 437 means that they have unlocked everything and I have the starter spells.
Three - Doesn't tell me how much damage I did through the round, or mana used, only how many pick-ups used.
Forth - Where is ranked matches? Everytime I go into a game, I only level up, but it states that this game won't affect my rating, which I want it too.

Graphics are great, gameplay is fun, not too much content but its not that much for the price its quite good, plus its a refrubished gearvr game which they have done a good job of porting it over.

until my opponent departed we dueled for probably 50 minutes while I did about 10 minutes of survival. Had a blast playing an online duel as well as the survival in the Waiting Room(Nice touch devs). Cant wait to hop back on tomorrow to get some duels in. over all a very polished multiplatform game allowing for nice playerbase, I'd say worth the asking price of admission I expect to get many more duels out of this!

I've had a great time trying this out for about 2 hrs. The online duals are excellent, but the AI survival arcade mode is so-so. It would be greatly improved if they added an AI opponent to take the place of online players if there isn't a match available. As it is, I recommend for the low price and really fun PvP.
