About the Game



A magical, split screen fighter perfect for pro gamers and button mashers alike.

Play as four unique and powerful Sorcerers as you battle across two exciting map packs. Settle the score in couch co-op with friends (or foes). Learn each Sorcerer's deep moveset in Sorcerer Training or jump right into the fray with tug of war style matches. Explore several unique environments to uncover their hidden utility.

Master Four Unique Sorcerers
Play how you want and choose from four Sorcerers, each with a unique playstyle and difficulty curve. Command the volatile power of lightning, the reality warping prowess of the void, the deadly manipulation of toxins, and the swift judgement of phoenixes. Turn the tides of battle as you master each Sorcerer's three spells and four enchantments.

Innovative Spellcasting
Experience projectile combat like you never have before with an innovative spellcasting system. Use "combat lanes" to cast spells in one of three directions, altering their trajectory to curve around obstacles or mix up your attacks. Spells can be blocked or parried by matching your lane with the lane of an incoming spell but be careful, enchantments cannot be blocked or parried!

Tug of War Matches
Each map pack contains four unique levels, three of which have unique traits that can be triggered by interacting with the environment to gain advantages over the opponent.



  • Split-screen couch co-op
  • 4 unique characters
  • 2 map packs with 4 levels in each
  • Tutorials for gameplay and individual characters as well as full move lists
