Platinum #238: Wand Wars

Hey there!

Get your brooms ready – it’s Wand Wars time!

What is the game all about?

Wand Wars is best described as some kind of magical sports game. You and your opponent(s) each ride a broom, and it’s you task to hit your opponent(s) with a magical ball to take them out. There are also power-ups, which will can make it easier for you to win.

At the beginning, only one character (The Apprentice) is unlocked. If you beat the story mode with him, a new character (The Machine) will be unlocked. He will have his own story with new challenges and game mode. All in there, are 6 characters, each of it having its own story mode and nice little background story. The story modes are very short – should take you more than 30 minutes each – and you can decide if you want to do them on Normal of Hard. During this, you will come across 5 different game modes and various levels. Each mode has its own rules but basically you just need to take out your opponents.

The game also offers local multiplayer, in which you can compete against up to 3 friends.

The controls work perfectly and the game has awesome pixel art graphics. For me, the game is a hidden gem and I hope that it will get a second trophy stack somehow in the future. I’d really like to play this game again.

What about trophies?

You will be awarded with a trophy for completing the story mode of each character. As difficulty doesn’t affect these trophies, there’s no need to beat the game on hard. During this, you might also unlock a few miscellaneous trophies. The rest of the trophies can be unlocked in versus mode (local multiplayer). For this, it’s recommended to have a second controller. You can also try unlocking them while playing against the A.I., but this will be more difficult.

If you need any help with one of the trophies, have a look at this guide from playstationtrophies.org. Everything is described in detail and it shows you ways to unlock trophies with and without a second controller.

Where can I get this game?

Currently, the only way to get Wand Wars is via the NA PSN store. Up to now it’s unknown if it will be released in different regions or if there will be a physical release in the future.

If you don’t know how to setup a NA account, check out this video by my buddy IBadDriverI.

If you need PSN cards, you can buy them here. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?

Definitively! It’s an easy and fun game. And if you wait until it is on sale, you can easily get it for 5$ or less.
