  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of Spellbind is criticized for its outdated mechanics reminiscent of 90s games, featuring vague hitboxes and a lack of essential combat features like parrying or dodging. Players report a short playtime of about 2.5 to 3 hours with no replayability, and overall, the game feels unpolished with frustrating controls and AI. While the graphics are appreciated, the gameplay experience is deemed lacking, leading to a recommendation to watch gameplay videos before purchasing.

    • “The gameplay up to that point felt like something from the 90s with original WoW-level graphics.”
    • “All of these would go a long way to improving the gameplay experience, but to be fair, these are also things that would likely increase the price.”
    • “The combat is rather weak; hitboxes are vague and there are no real parry, block, or dodge mechanics. You mostly just kite foes one at a time, take them out, and abuse health kits that auto-respawn to stay afloat.”
    • “Everything else, from the AI to the short gameplay and the downright game-breaking controls, makes Spellbind feel highly unpolished, even for an early access state (which this game is not).”
    • “About 2.5 to 3 hours of gameplay is probably the time needed to defeat the game, and worse yet, the game is not going to have any replayability at all as it would be exactly the same every time.”

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally described as decent and visually appealing, with some reviewers noting a nostalgic resemblance to 90s titles. While the 3D graphics and sound selection received positive remarks, they are often overshadowed by criticisms of the game's mechanics. Overall, the graphics stand out as one of the more favorable aspects of the game.

    • “Graphics are pretty good.”
    • “This game looked interesting so I bought it, love the graphics.”
    • “+ decent graphics and sounds.”
    • “The gameplay up to that point felt like something from the 90s with original WoW-level graphics.”
    • “Sadly, they were few and the only good aspect to this title might be the generic yet decent enough 3D graphics and sound selection.”
    • “This game looked interesting so I bought it, love the graphics but sadly the mechanics for the game are lacking.”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers a short playtime of approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, but it suffers from a complete lack of replayability, as players will experience the same content in every playthrough.

    • “This game lasts for about three hours, and it has zero replayability.”
    • “About 2.5 to 3 hours of gameplay is probably the time needed to defeat the game, and worse yet, the game is not going to have any replayability at all as it would be exactly the same every time.”
