Magicite

Game review

Very fun, huge replay for a super simple game. I've got 38 hours in so far. My wife has 43! Multiplayer needs A LOT of work though. The game get's very laggy, and eventually crashes. Also, it has no chat system nor trade system.

The crafting is fun but it feels unfinished (Too few items, no repairing.) Bonuses to weapons and tools is nice, but what about armor?

Combat is well done from melee to archery. The different weapon speeds keep the game balanced while the spells allow for personal style.

Luck is a huge factor and can really set the pace for your game. This can be fun until you reach a level (as a player) where you are investing one or two hours per game. At that point it seems like less fun.

On a similar note, the towns' shops and item buy back system is wonky. Items have huge prices but only sell for a single coin. Items for sale are also totally random - again, potentially bottle-necking progress if you can't afford or just can't use the items for sale. Inevitably, you'll end up with more money than you can use and unavailable items you need.

So far I've had a lot of fun with Magicite and will probably get another 50 hours of enjoyment out of it. I do, though, hope the updates keep coming, as well as additional content!
