Skorecery is a fast-paced local multiplayer sports-like set in a tournament of mystics. Players engage in a contest of reflexes and split-second decision-making to protect their Runes and destroy their opponents'. Different Spells, Modes, and Curses force players to stay on their toes and face overcome new challenges every game!

About the story

The world of Skorecery is that in which a dark magician (known only as The Magician) has pulled magic users from different realms into a carefully crafted prison - a deck of cards. He and his assistant (known only as The Doll) use this deck of cards to entertain wealthy guests who draw cards from the deck and let the magic users compete for their freedom. Winners of the game, Skorecery, are freed while losers return to their playing card prison.

As far as local multiplayer games go, Skorecery is definitely one that you'd want to add to your playlist but it won't be the main event.

The base they’re working on is so shallow that I can’t say for sure whether it’d be a good game if they did everything I asked for. In the end, all I can say is maybe make sure you’ve got more of a game before you throw it out onto the store.

It often feels like bits and pieces of Skorecery are missing. The concept is there and the Breakout-style gameplay works, but it is so rudimentary. You can only really play if you have at least one other person with you. If you do get other people around you, then you are limited to two playable characters. There are only really two modes, with one of them having a few different variations. It seems like a game that needs some updates to make it more of a well-rounded experience.

Skorecery has the potential to be a boisterous party game, but limited single-player options and an over-reliance on local multiplayer hold it back.
