This is a game that I don't think would be much fun to play on your own, but it's a good ruckus playing co-op with friends. In Nine Parchments you play as a mage, and it's a sort of overhead dual-stick shooter that has you shooting fireballs, chucking health bombs, and releasing streams of lightning, etc. Defeat all the monsters, and try not to kill your friends too many times. Or do, lol.

Overall I wouldn't call it a great game -- it's extremely repetitive and kind of janky, for starters. And I think it's ridiculous that a 4-player co-op game only has two available characters to start with (and it's not easy to unlock anyone else, I'll mention). But when you're playing with friends the jank becomes a source of amusement, and it's just all in all a nice silly way to kill some time for an hour or two.

Finished the game with a couple friend's tonight. The game play got a little repetitive at times but other than that lots of sweet spells to cast, awesome boss fights and all round impressive visuals. Got to say also that friendly fire made the game hilarious to play at times!
