\"\"<\/a>When a game becomes popular, you\u2019ll usually find many imitators following it.\u00a0 Such is the case with Vampire Survivor.\u00a0 I\u2019ve never played the game myself, but I\u2019ve reviewed a few games that copy its formula.\u00a0 And now there\u2019s Spellagis, another game trying to ride the coattails of Vampire Survivor\u2019s popularity.\u00a0 Play as a mage and zap waves of enemies with magic in this simple top down viewed action game.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

When you start, you\u2019ll choose a level.\u00a0 Each level has waves of enemies to defeat, and you\u2019ll move onto the next wave when you dispatch a certain number of them.\u00a0 After you choose a level, you\u2019ll pick a mage.\u00a0 Each mage has different attributes, and you\u2019ll unlock more as you play.\u00a0 Controls are very simple, just use the control stick to move your character.\u00a0 Your mage will automatically fire projectiles at enemies.\u00a0 If they touch you, you\u2019ll lose a bit of life.\u00a0 Lose all your life and it\u2019s Game Over.<\/p>\n

Defeated enemies drop coins and you\u2019ll want to collect as many as you can because at the end of each wave, you can buy random upgrades for your mage.\u00a0 Some just increase stats, like attack power, range, speed, etc.\u00a0 But some will give you new attacks that can help you out.\u00a0 The one that shoots out projectiles in six directions is especially helpful, for instance.\u00a0 You\u2019ll want to get as many upgrades as you can for the later, harder waves.\u00a0 When you are not in a level, you can buy permanent upgrades for your mages using diamonds you\u2019ve earned by playing (not sure how you earn them, though).<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still not sold on this style of game, as I ultimately found it too repetitive.\u00a0 But I\u2019d have to say this is one of the better Vampire Survivor imitators I\u2019ve reviewed.\u00a0 I liked the 8-bit visuals and music and you can really tell a difference in your upgrades.\u00a0 I think it would\u2019ve been cool to have a two player mode, though.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spellagis is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 You fire magic projectiles at pixel monsters that disappear when defeated.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text, but not necessary just to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
