Nine Parchments Blasting its Way to Xbox One March 7

This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: Xbox Wire.

For you co-op enthusiasts out there, Nine Parchments is a game that’s going to scratch your itch! You’ll play as one of the wizarding students of the Astral Academy, the school for Wizards in the beautiful Trine world.

As a terrible explosion rocks the Academy, all the powerful spell parchments are blown out into the world and into the hands of dangerous creatures. It’s your job to find the parchments if you want to earn your Wizard stripes, as students with Nine Parchments in their spellbooks can graduate as full-fledged Wizards.

Nine Parchments is a mixture of twin-stick shooting, action and light RPG elements. You can play it co-operatively with up to four people both locally and online. Friendly fire is on by default, so be prepared for some inevitable chaos when everyone starts blasting away at anything that moves… Not to worry, we do have healing spells as well, which someone hopefully picks up to keep the team alive!

If you’re still not convinced, we do have a 60-minute trial of magic to lure you in, also available on launch day. We hope you enjoy the dangerous path to becoming a Wizard. Bring your friends and be careful with your spells!
