Spellomancer (AppID: 2933760)

Spellomancer is a team-based action platformer that tests both your brains and brawn. Explore a magical battlefield littered with enchanted letters. Harvest and arrange them at your base to earn points.

The path will be perilous, so be on the lookout for weapons to fight off your opponents and snacks to keep you healthy. Chests across the map contain zany weapons and contraptions that can aid you in your quest. Maybe you’ll even prove yourself enough of a hero to wield the highly coveted “Cool S” Sword.

Once you’ve safely returned to base with your spoils, combine letters in your spellbook to create words. Rarer letters, like Q and Z, are worth more points, and longer words will net you an additional bonus. Once you’re finished arranging your word, pull the magic lever and watch your team’s score go up!

You may find it best to divide and conquer, entrusting your wisest Page with this noble quest. Or you could take turns exploring, fighting, and spelling. Whatever your strategy may be, a good Spellomancer knows the real magic is in teamwork!

The team with the most points after five minutes is the winner. Are you wise and wordy enough to be a true Spellomancer?

What to expect from our opening chapter

• Out-spell your friends in team-based multiplayer action, both online and locally, in bite-sized matches!

• Pick your Page! Fight alongside your team as one of four enchanting characters.

• Find and combine letter tiles to fill your team’s spellbook with a wide variety of words. Spell out something more familiar like the mighty “oak,” or challenge yourself to spell wackier and longer words for more points, like “rannygazoo” and “blatherskite,” which we swear we did not make up.

• Take up your sword (or crossbow, bowling ball, or one of many other wacky weapons) to slay your opponents on the spelling field and harvest all the best letters for yourself.

• Ward off Scrimblos–mischievous little creatures who seek to cause additional mayhem.
