Evaluation
Counter Spell launched on October 5, 2015 and has two distinct content realms. The Classic realm is described on the store page as a fully complete game with 20+ zones and 40+ quests. The Reforged realm, however, is described as still being under heavy development, with official quests and bosses listed as "coming soon."
The developer shipped meaningful updates over several years: a major beta branch update in September 2018 adding a new hub zone and dungeons, followed by incremental feature patches through November 15, 2019, when the last known communication was posted. Prior to that, the developers acknowledged in November 2017 that the project is a hobby for both team members, meaning updates were always expected to come slowly.
Despite the ongoing promises in the store description about the Reforged realm's unfinished content — quests, bosses, and expanded zones — there has been no developer communication of any kind since November 15, 2019. The store page has not been updated to reflect either completion or cancellation of those plans. With over six years of silence following explicit promises of forthcoming content, it is unclear whether the Reforged realm's development is still active or has been quietly abandoned.

About this game
"Counter Spell" combines elements of classic role playing games with modern stealth-based shooters. The player can choose from six different classes, each with their own unique spells, abilities, and perks.
Single player, multiplayer coop, and competitive multiplayer are all supported with different game modes for each. A wide array of spells and items make for fun and intense matches. Throw flasks of wildfire at your opponents, lay cleverly placed traps, or just rain fireballs down upon them.
An open, streaming world makes for an exciting sandbox to adventure in!
Counter Spell Classic is the original Counter Spell realm. It contains over twenty zones, over forty quests, and is about a half square kilometer in size. There are several mini-bosses and a final boss to defeat. It offers a fully fleshed out and complete game, and is still occasionally updated. The Classic Realm's graphics are more basic and generally provide better performance for players with older machines.
Counter Spell Reforged is the beta Counter Spell realm. The Reforged Realm showcases the newest graphics, models, and tech that Counter Spell has to offer. It is still under heavy development and new content is constantly being added. It does not currently contain any official quests or bosses, but they are coming soon.
