Credits were surprisingly long (considering the title). Has some good ideas, but they need to really increase the enemy variety (and maybe add more weapons). I would have liked to see more from the melee side too. It would benefit greatly from a sequel that expands the combat.
TLDR: Charming game. Great music. Beautiful levels that have aged reasonably both design wise and visually. Not bad shooting. The combat is interesting. You mostly use spells that could be standard reskinned FPS weapons (dart and fireball) but it tries to shake it up with many unique options. "Ammo" conservation is quite important, be judicious. Many enemies input read you and dodges shots directly aimed at them, but it is probably needed to make some of the basic enemies keep you on your toes. I found that the best way to deal with the magic using enemies was to cheese them because it can be hard to pick the right spells to counter them. Why think so hard when you can conserve freeze spell for them and ambush them with it? Partly, it's because of how you can get killed really easily by magic users (you can absolutely do the same to them in exchange). I have heard that the tower defense elements in the tutorial and the tactics of using spells really come into their own in multiplayer, which I haven't tried yet. The levels are medium sized and well designed. This is mostly a linear game with occasional backtracking. Some of the levels are really fun to explore and connect areas to each other nicely. It doesn't hurt that most look great and the game doesn't hesitate to use striking, bold colours. The puzzle level in between is a bit of a speedbump (sometimes it was not clear to me that something was a breakable item, so I got stuck for some time). I actually think most of the puzzles in the game are good middle ground between obscure and modern AAA crap. As for the story, I will confess that I have no idea about the universe and I don't really care too much! It's not terrible. It feels like each level has around 4 or 5 minutes of cutscenes total, usually playing after you end the level. Nothing too special and the FMVs have not aged as well as the game itself. I would like to reiterate that the music is great! In case you missed that from the first line.
