ATTENTION BRIGADEERS! The Spell Brigade releases in 2 DAYS! As part of our countdown to release, were releasing a 5-part FAQ series, featuring some much asked about topics regarding the game. You can check out our last 3 posts which tackled our co-op matchmaking, meta progression and friendly fire. Now, lets break down our REVIVE SYSTEM.
As we like to mention, dying and coming back is a big part of our game, more so than your regular roguelite even! Because aside from the usual die, unlock upgrades, try again shtick, our game features a revive system inspired by some of our favorite co-op games.

MEMENTO MORI

So, what happens when we die? Who can say, really? As for our wizards here though, when they take a hit too many, they explode, leaving nothing behind but a bright crystal. It is up to another member of the Spell Brigade to charge up this crystal so their fallen teammate can beam back into action.
Performing this sacred ritual is no easy feat, and can only be done with the use of a Revive Token. Each wizard starts with 2. By upgrading one of your Enchantments, you can start with more. In a team though, these Revive Tokens are shared. So a team of 4 wizards would start out with 8 Revive Tokens, which can be spent on whoever needs them.

BACK WITH A BANG

When a wizard is successfully revived, they can slightly adjust their position before beaming back into the battlefield, dealing an enormous amount of damage to anything within range. Many wizards find strategic value in this move, and sometimes die on purpose so they can use this powerful ability to their advantage.
When the team is out of Revive Tokens, a new one is always slowly generated. This takes time however, so only count on this as a last resort. Because when there are no more Revive Tokens, and the last wizard standing dies, the mission has failed, and the wizards are forced to return to their base, fleeing to fight another day. Tune in tomorrow for a final FAQ, where we go over the different types of Spell upgrades. We hope you found these posts interesting and are stoked to try out the game! Dont forget to: 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

The Spell Brigade is an online co-op survivors-like for 1-4 players. Team up with your wizard friends to slay hordes of dark creatures. Complete team-based objectives, unlock new upgrades and create overpowered spell synergies. Friend nor foe is safe in this friendly fire bullet hell!

CO-OP FRIENDLY FIRE BULLET HELL

The Spell Brigade combines the survivors-like gameplay you love with good old multiplayer madness. Fight thousands of weird monsters together. Complete missions and upgrade spells together. Survive together!

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE…

Taking on entire armies is risky business. Assemble your Brigade and walk this mystical warpath together. Fighting as a team has many perks, but you will inevitably step on each other’s toes. But fear not! Even the most unfortunate, gruesome of deaths can be remedied through the power of sorcery and friendship!

BRIGADE OF SPELLS

Find, upgrade and combine your spells with powerful elements. Everything works together to ensure that no 2 builds are ever the same. Multiply this by the amount of wizards in your squad, and the potential for pure, unhinged chaos is endless!
