Wizard of Legend Reviews

Amazing rogue-like where you demolish everything (except the bosses) once you get a loadout you like. The game is only held back by the need to discover and buy relics/spells indiscriminately to even experiment with them, leading to the first few hours being pain since you have no build variety at your disposal. Otherwise, creativity is the only roadblock you'll ever face, aside from the light RNG sprinkled here and there. One thing to note is that the sequel was develloped by a different team, which is why your opinion on the dollar store Hades rip-off shouldn't affect your opinion on this product, the original game.

One of the games that really made the rougelike formula click for me. It's fast paced, varied combat is accented by a really fun kit customisation system. It's visuals are simple but effective.

Just beat the chaos trials for the first time and I've gotta say it was both painful and extremely fun. The fact that each run can be relatively long (I'd say between 30 and 40 minutes for the average player) makes it dissapointing having to start over or not being able to try again because of time constrictions in your daily life. Totally worth it though, and it feels amazing being a master of elements and the fast-paced combat

Wizard of Legend is a roguelike that rewards patience and creativity just as much as raw power. After about 30 hours, I beat it not by spamming damage, but by focusing on dodging, timing, and using summons like the rock agent, wind agent, and seekers to wear enemies down. Every run teaches you something new, and the freedom to build your own playstyle keeps it fresh. If you enjoy games where strategy matters as much as skill, this one is worth your time.

the jet set radio spray sound effects play every time i hit a nasty spell combo in this game.

Very fun game. Its easy to pick up, challenging enough to keep you on your toes, and the many different combinations of arcana and items make it fun to replay.

I bounced off this a few times, and every time I think I will like it when I come back to it. Its just not fun. Even down to having to dash across gaps, where its kinda easy to just fall into pits for no apparent reason. Dash doesnt offer invulnerability, which would be fine in the context of the game play, but it also means you have to just bait enemies together. You also just don't do enough damage, it takes so long to kill anything that its boring. I can totally understand people thinking its a skill issue, but I've completed a lot of this genre so its a skill issue and an enthusiasm issue.

A great game I 100%'d. In this game you CAST SPELLS as a cool FIGHT WIZARD, and there are a lot of spells to unlock and cast! It's a top-down action roguelite but has more roguelike aspects as the only power you grow is your collection of starting items and spells. Everything else is game knowledge. The particle effects aren't as overbearing as most modern games, and you generally have a decent read of the battlefield. It is however challengingly fast paced, and will test your movement and knowledge, as there are no i-frame dodges barring two specific items and specific spells. Overall, a fun game for people who can handle its faster pace. TL;DR I LOVE FEEDING MY CURSE ADDICTION

One of the best fast paced roguelike games that love a good spell slinging gameplay. So much spell expressions to go through each level with a fair amount of opportunity to vary it throughout the playthrough. Replayability is great. Finishing the game and unlocking all the content doesn't demand hundreds of hours so long as you're competent enough to be patient.

I'm writing this review in light of the "sequel" having just come out, but not by the original devs. Wizard of Legend is a great attempt at a mage based rogue like that while isn't as fancy or flashy as big games like Hades, had a lot of potential upon release and in general has so much charm. The whimsy, the music, the npcs, the potential silly builds... While this game is not perfect, you can tell that it was made by a small passionate dev team with a lot of heart.
