About the game

The Spell Brigade is a survivors-like with online co-op for 1-4 players. Team up with your wizard friends to slay hordes of dark creatures. Complete team-based objectives, unlock new upgrades, and create overpowered spell synergies. Friend nor foe is safe in this friendly fire-enabled bullet heaven!

Key features

1-4 Player Co-op: The Spell Brigade combines the survivors-like gameplay you love with good old multiplayer madness. Fight thousands of weird monsters together. Complete random team-based objectives and upgrade spells together. Survive together!
Friendly Fire Bullet Heaven : Taking on entire armies is risky business, even with your friends at your side! Fighting as a team has many perks, but you will inevitably step on each other’s toes. But fear not! You can use your deaths to your advantage, and use Revive tokens to (literally) blast yourself and your teammates back into action!
Dynamic Spell System: Improve, augment and infuse your spells with different kinds of elements and upgrades. Combine this with your Enchantments, Quests, Scrolls, and the different wizards in your squad, and the potential for pure, unhinged chaos is endless!
A Soundtrack to Rock Out to: Austin Wintory, known for his amazing work on famous games like Journey, ABZÛ, Assassin's Creed, Hades II and more, has composed an epic soundtrack for The Spell Brigade, with tracks for every Realm and Boss Battle.
