GAME FEATURES
MOTION-CONTROLLED COMBAT
Combat is played in first person and takes advantage of motion controls to cast spells. Spell power and speed in controlled based on the velocity and position of your hand. As enemies start attacking you, you must use your body to dodge enemy attacks. Enemies throughout the game develop attacks that become trickier to dodge and will eventually require certain spells to counter.
EXPLORABLE OVERWORLD
Many first person VR games suffer from a lack of locomotion due to the risk of VR sickness. Wave Magic gets around this by allowing you to explore a top-down style overworld. When out of combat you move the main character, Ash, around the map by pointing or touch the overworld based on your control scheme. Enemies are encountered randomly in classic-rpg fashion.
SPELLS AND AUGMENTS
Collect many different spells throughout your journey. You can equip one spell to each hand which you can modify further via spell augments. Spell augments can change the way a spell behaves such as changing a lobbed spell into a homing one. They can also change their effects such as adding a slowing effect to a projectile or causing a defensive wall to harm enemies nearby.
