I recently got a chance to play through The Abjuration Stand on the PlayStation 5 Pro, thanks to a review copy provided by Branium Games.

You can find my mini review of The Abjuration Stand below:
Pros:
- Fun hybrid of bullet heaven and tower defense.
- Can get extremely chaotic.
Cons:
- None.
Overall:
The Abjuration Stand mixes bullet heaven with tower defense. As a wizard, your job is to kill any enemies that will invade from the right side of the screen.
In order to do so, you can attack directly with by holding down the fire button. The auto aim will aim for the closest target. Furthermore, you can also build several towers that will shoot to the right.
Defeated enemies will drop crystals, which you can use to replenish health and ammo. The same currency is used to purchase and upgrade new power-ups.
The action can get rather chaotic in a good way. The screen will quickly get filled up with countless enemies, which will then quickly be blown up by you and your weapons.
The Endless Mode got so crazy that my PS5 Pro couldn’t handle all that action as you can see in the video with the frequent slowdowns and slideshows.
Overall, The Abjuration Stand is an extremely fun bullet heaven and tower defense hybrid that is worth checking out if you are a fan of either or both genres.
