Spooky Update Hits The Spell Brigade, Co-Op Wizard Survivors-Like, With 1.0 Release on the Horizon

Bolt Blaster Games kicks off the spooky season with a new update for The Spell Brigade. Following last month’s release of the new realm, Astral Riftlands, Update 13 brings even more fresh content!

New Spells, Pumpkin Outfits, Enemy, and more!

Update 13 brings spooky new features and content to the game:

  • Two new spells: Swirl Sickle and Spear Barrage enter the pool and can be selected like any other during a run, opening up new build paths and late-game synergies.

  • New elite enemy: The Broodmaw joins the battlefields, dropping eggs that hatch if left unchecked. Spoiler alert: you don’t want the eggs to hatch.

  • New objective: A herd of Mana Beasts has escaped. When this objective appears, wizards must herd them into the nearest pen so they can be returned home safely.

  • Dark-element overhaul: Corruption gets meaner and smarter. Many enemies now respond with custom behavior when corrupted, even bosses like Sol’phish and Krog’wa can fall to the darkness if your build is strong enough.

  • Seasonal outfits: Bryony’s attempt at a secret mission to the forbidden Pumpkin Realm has backfired, and now they’re everywhere! Four pumpkin outfits (they’re pretty cool!) are now available to unlock through quests.
