Still not sure how anyone can watch the combat and think that looks good. The previews so far have been the character shooting the red spell three times then throwing a rock for the 4th hit in every combat scenario lol who would have known magic could be so boring

Eh, the combat is closer to a dial-a-combo system when played as intended. One of the color-coded spells followed by 3 basic attacks then repeat. If the enemy puts up a shield and your spell of that type is on cooldown you can try to bypass their shield by throwing an object at them instead.

If a player tries to spam the same spell as it is on cooldown their wand sort of releases a pop of sparks and prevents them from fighting for a second and a half.

It won't be the deepest combat by any means, but those that stick with it will be focusing on how to juggle multiple enemies at once. There are also very basic puzzle elements in how to approach a group of enemies for the best result, as differently named enemies have different attacks. E.g. among the Poachers the Duelists are aggressive, the Executioners summon large fire tornadoes, Rangers like to hide away and lift the player into the air, etc. So you'll want to prioritize dangerous variants, preferably removing several from stealth. Nothing fancy, but more engaging than mashing the basic attack.
