"Nine Parchments is a difficult game to recommend as it's a very average approach to a genre that has existed for some time now. While it's visually appealing scenes are impressive enough to pique the interest of potential players, it's stale gameplay and painfully slow leveling system lack the fresh and creative experience that you'd expect to find here. Amongst a sea of games on Steam and the other digital stores, Frozenbyte have failed to include features that retain players' attention in the long-term. There are no puzzles to solve, no secret areas to explore and no worthwhile loot to discover. Enemy encounters quickly feel tiresome and monotonous, with successful fights boiling down to whether or not you can identify an enemy by its colour. If you're looking for a co-op dungeon-crawler with solid mechanics and a unique design, maybe pick up one of the popular favourites rather than this new title."

About
Nine Parchments is a co-op action RPG where you play as runaway wizards chasing magical relics. You and up to three friends blast enemies with elemental spells while collecting loot, leveling skills, and dodging environmental hazards. The game blends fast-paced shooting with RPG progression, letting you mix melee strikes, ranged magic, and defensive abilities to clear levels. Each character has distinct playstyles but all revolve around gathering the titular parchments while avoiding deadly mishaps caused by reckless spellcasting. The game stands out for its chaotic co-op moments and deep customization. With over 50 achievements, players seeking 100% completion will find challenges like "The Hero of Trine" particularly tough, only 2.4% have earned it. Community data shows about 30% of players unlock achievements on average, suggesting a mix of accessibility and difficulty. Spell variety and quirky cosmetic items like wizard hats add replayability, making it a solid pick for groups who enjoy messy teamwork and magic-powered mayhem.
