ATTENTION BRIGADEERS! The Spell Brigade releases in 4 DAYS! As part of our countdown to release, were releasing a 5-part FAQ series, featuring some much asked about topics regarding the game. Yesterday we shared some info on the workings of our co-op matchmaking system. Today is all about our Player Progression. We took inspiration from other survivors like Vampire Survivors and Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor to create a simple but effective progression system. Everything is unlocked the same way, by completing Quests.

QUESTS

Quests are challenges that are tracked over multiple runs. These include tasks like Equip X Spells, Level Up X times, Revive X teammates, but also more specific ones, like infusing a specific Element to a specific Spell or performing a particular action with one of the Wizards. Each completed Quest grants you a reward. These are new Wizards, new Enchantments, new Realms, and more. If you complete a Quest mid-run, that content can already become available in that run.

ENCHANTMENTS

As the missions get tougher, your Wizards can grow stronger! Enchantments are permanent stat increases that you can purchase with Gold you earn on missions. There are 3 Tiers, each containing 5 Enchantments that can be upgraded multiple times (each Tier is unlocked through completing a Quest).
You can upgrade your Enchantments in whatever order you like, and you can also refund them. This resets all your Enchantments back to 0 and returns all the Gold spent to you.

WIZARDS

You start the game with good old Reginald as the only available Wizard. By completing Quests, you unlock new ones. Each Wizard has a different starting Spell, as well as some stat buffs. There are 8 playable Wizards in total (for now), and a selection of unlockable Outfits for each one as well.

MISSIONS

For your Mission (run), you can select which Realm (world) and Threat Level (difficulty) to survive in. There are 3 of each, which are also unlocked by completing Quests. Each Realm has some unique environmental hazards. The Threat Levels range from Moderate to Severe to Hardcore.
Thats a quick rundown of everything our Player Progression has to offer on Early Access release. Of course, this is only the beginning. We plan to add and improve, partly by the feedback and suggestions from you! Tomorrow, we tackle one of our most talked-about mechanics: Friendly Fire! Well go over the inner workings and the design choices we made during development. 1. Join our discord for DAILY dev posts and intellectual wizard-related discussions. 2. Wishlist the game so you can get it as soon as its out! 3. Tell your friends so you can join the Spell Brigade TOGETHER. BOLT BLASTER OUT
