How co-op works

Up to four players cast spells together locally or online through the campaign. Elemental beams, projectiles, and area attacks can also hit allies, so the group must manage aim and spacing, combine spell effects, and resurrect fallen wizards during each encounter.

About this game

Nine Parchments throws you into a fast-paced magical adventure where wizards blast through enemies using an arsenal of elemental spells. True co-op is the heart of the experience, but friendly fire is always active, turning every encounter into a careful dance of positioning and communication as much as raw firepower.

Players combine spells, manage cooldowns, and coordinate elemental weaknesses while trying not to accidentally roast their teammates. The chaos escalates quickly when multiple wizards unleash area-of-effect spells in tight corridors, making every fight a test of both cooperation and reflexes.

You can play online or in local split-screen co-op with up to four players. Sessions become frantic, voice-heavy affairs where a mistimed fireball can wipe the party just as easily as a monster horde, rewarding groups that communicate well and learn to work around the friendly-fire chaos.
