It’s not just endurance points that make you pay dearly, each mage has scales for physical damage, fear, faith, immunity…

You also have to care about how you win, each different monster will have resistance to different types of magic, some magic will scare them away and not actually destroy them.

And monsters defeated by fire will drop different items from the same species that were defeated by ice.

3. PERSONAL FEELING

Although it is not an official version, it is a version Try Spire of Sorcery showed the writer the meticulousness in the game’s presentation.

If you are someone who is not used to playing many different game genres, it is really easy to get “overwhelmed” by the amount of detail that the game contains. Try Spire of Sorcery bring.

If you skip the first play and are still clumsy, by the second play you will know most of the tricks that the manufacturer intentionally “sets” the player such as setting traps in treasure chests or monsters that can only be defeated. Defeat with combination moves…

Another thing that makes the game lose points is that in the advertisement the manufacturer said it was possible to recruit more magicians but the writer didn’t actually find any features that seemed like that in the game.

If you accidentally let one of your magicians go forever, you’re almost guaranteed to lose!
