It wasn’t all that long ago that I sat down and spent some quality time with The Spell Brigade, the chaotic co-op survivors-like that nods to the manic friendly fire of Magicka.
That preview covered that game as it was after Update 12, and a month later we’re being treated to the final content drop before the game leaves Early Access. That’s right people, Update 13 is here, and it brings with it new content and some seasonal gubbins.
The highlight for me is addition of two new spells: Swirl Sickle and Spear Barrage, to be precise. To be fair, they sound quite self-explanatory, so let’s not dwell too long here.
Just as important to gameplay variety is the new elite enemy (the egg-laying Broodmaw) and another in-game objective, wherein players must herd so-called Mana Beasts into a nearby pen.
There are even seasonal pumpkin outfits to unlock, should you enjoy dressing up around this time of year…
Finally, players will find the usual tweaks and changes, including a bit of an overhaul of the corruption mechanic, as the devs at Bolt Blaster continue to finalise things ahead of launch.
Speaking of which, launch day can’t be too far off now, what with this being the final EA update. Of course, you can wishlist The Spell Brigade on Steam if you wish to keep up-to-date with developments.
