FEATURES AND MY EXPERIENCE PLAYING THE GAME
At the beginning where greeted with this introduction screen over here which shows how the graphics is gonna be in the game, Its not that impressive in terms of graphics but its sure is a very interesting artstyle, and in my opinion its perfect for the world of harry potter, I like how the world is crafted here except the horrendous UI. Now after Starting the game, there will be a story and the story is a big part of the experience playing the game as you will have to accomplish goals to unlock the next story part which will progress you through out the game.
And after seeing the cutscenes which are voiced, The character creation will start and its very basic, we can change the gender, hairstyles, some clothing and accessories but don't worry there will be a lot of cosmetic in the game like skins for clothes, your wand, hat even your room in the game got a lot of customization
As for the general gameplay, after creating your character and doing the early parts of the game, your goal is to max this box over here and you do that by doing different task, depends on you, and 1 of the task is combat or duels, there is 1 v 1 and 2 v 2, your gonna que up and duel other players.
Now the combat is like this, the fight starts with you and the enemy, both on the ends of the battle field and the goal is to lower the hp of the enemy and you can do that by using cards, some cards are monster summons and some cards are spell, there is support cards and attack cards. Now if you yourself get attacked, it will be telegraphed and of course you have to dodge it by moving away from the area of attack which makes the game much more engaging, its much more action oriented unlike other card games.
The other task that you can do is a rhythm game, it is what it is, you tap the circles at the right time when it appears and you will be ranked based on your timing.
There is also simple exploration in the form of this explore the forest, which is basically a tiny map that allows you to move around and choose what path would you take, there is a few segments and it will eventually lead you to fight a boss, which usually a fantastic beast, or cloaked guy from some reason.
Another task is protect a structure, its very basic, don't let enemies destroy the structure and you succeed.
And the last task is the thing that I'm most excited about and its the quidditch and unfortunately, its not what I expected, where we get to ride brooms and play like soccer right? No, that's not it. Quidditch in harry potter magic awakened is kind of like an end less runner like subway surfer, where our character will just run or move forward and we get to move our character left to right to avoid obstacles but in this there's an end and the end is the rings where you will have to tap and shoot the ball in, that's it quidditch.
