Editor review
Spell Blast is a magic-combat io with eight-player matches. Each player has a wizard with three spell slots. Cast spells at opponents; last wizard remaining wins.
What works is the spell-combination system. Twelve spells across three categories (attack, defence, utility). Spell synergies create build variety.
Eight-player matches in arena maps with cover. Magic circles spawn power-ups that buff specific spell types.
Tested over four Mumbai commute matches. Mouse-aim is the precision input for spell targeting. Keyboard for movement and spell-selection.
Where the design tries hardest is the spell-variety balance. Twelve spells is enough for variety without being overwhelming. Most spells have counter-spells.
Where I would push back is the absence of player progression. No spell unlocks; all spells available from start. Adding spell-mastery progression would have given longer-term motivation.
Three stars. Functional magic-combat io with reasonable spell variety. Limited by absence of progression.
