Wizard of Legend

Poor skill selection, spammy enemy attacks and a dodge with no iframes, locking you in to specific skills with limited freedom of selection, and more little problems that quickly turn it from nitpicky to simply annoying on top of the already major issues, including many skills and relics I've collected won't unlock after obtaining them.

I would have been quite content if devs decided to do expansions on the first game rather than make a whole new game all together. This game is fantastic and holds up even today, over 7 years later.

Really fun game. Sadly the remote play is really laggy for me wich makes it hard to play for a long time, but that might be the fault of my internet. I used to play this on the Nintendo Switch for hours. Still worth the money in my opinion.

Alright, so I’ve been playing Wizard of Legend for a while now, and I’ve got to say—it’s a blast. If you’re into fast-paced action, roguelikes, or just love the idea of slinging spells like a magical badass, this game is definitely worth checking out. It’s challenging, addictive, and has that “just one more run” vibe that keeps you hooked for hours.

Gameplay:
The combat is where this game really shines. It’s super fluid and responsive, and there’s something incredibly satisfying about chaining together spells to wipe out enemies. You start with a basic set of abilities, but as you progress, you unlock a ton of spells and relics that let you customize your playstyle. Want to be a fire-wielding pyromaniac? Go for it. Prefer to freeze enemies in their tracks? There’s a spell for that. The variety is awesome, and experimenting with different builds is half the fun.

That said, this game doesn’t pull any punches. It’s tough. Like, really tough. The enemies hit hard, and the bosses are no joke. But even when I died (which happened a lot), I never felt like it was unfair. Each run teaches you something new, and the sense of progression is really rewarding. Plus, the procedurally generated dungeons keep things fresh, so no two runs feel exactly the same.

Visuals and Sound:
The pixel art is gorgeous. The spells look flashy and impactful, and the environments are colorful and full of little details. It’s not the most graphically advanced game out there, but it has a lot of charm. The soundtrack is solid too—it’s upbeat and fits the action perfectly, though I will admit it can get a bit repetitive after a while.

Replayability:
This is where Wizard of Legend really stands out. There’s so much to unlock and experiment with. Spells, relics, outfits—there’s always something new to work toward. And if you’ve got a friend to play with, the co-op mode is an absolute riot. It’s a great way to mix things up and adds a whole new layer of strategy to the game.

The Downsides:
It’s not perfect, though. The difficulty might be a turn-off for some people, especially if you’re not a fan of roguelikes or punishing games. And while the gameplay is fantastic, the story is pretty barebones. It’s there, but it’s not really the focus. Also, the music, while good, could use a bit more variety to keep things fresh during longer play sessions.

Final Thoughts:
All in all, Wizard of Legend is a fantastic game. It’s challenging, rewarding, and packed with content that’ll keep you coming back for more. If you’re a fan of roguelikes or just love action-packed combat, this is a must-play. Just be prepared to die a lot—but trust me, it’s worth it.

Rating: 8.5/10
It’s not perfect, but it’s a whole lot of fun. Highly recommend giving it a shot!

Game changing RNG, spongy aimbotting enemies, no real progression system, mechanics designed to punish players... you all keep pretending these games are good, devs are gonna keep making them.

overall its a great face-paced game, super fun with friends

You like dungeon games don’t you Squidward? Its great, damn near perfect. Nothing else to be said.

I really like the concept of this game. The elemental pentagrams, the procedurally generated maps and the relics and spells that you can stack on top of your basic loadout make for a unique experience each and every time you play. Much of it does play the same, but you can get crazy good combos and builds which work for or against your playstyle. I love this kind of chaos and randomness and I particularly love the 2D play style that comes with the game. I would recommend this game for those who like 'Neon Abyss' or similar titles.

One the best games of all time. It's just a master piece of roguelite gameplay and pixel art.

Game is harder than the usual rogue lite games.

You don't get stronger everytime you die, you basically only get access to new spells etc.

It's basically a trial and error game

So if you enjoy roguelite such as you can level up your hp, str, def, etc after each run or death. This game aint for you.

Awesome in it's simplicity, but still pretty demanding at times. Very dynamic flashy fights and vast variety of spells, builds and relics combined with quick runs make this little pixel roguelike short, but awesome experience overall.

Seriously one of my most beloved games.
Don't even know why it got me and my friends so hard and being able to Remote-Play.
AWESOME.

Fun game.

Needs UI update for DualSense controller buttons - xbox buttons are shown on Linux and Mac.

This games plays very well and is extremely fun, it clearly has a lot of heart put into it and it shows.
I would very much recommend, 7.8/10

This game is truly amazing. From the art style to the combat, the developers really nailed everything. Wizard of Legend is one of my favorite games and is one that I would truly recommend. I got the game on sale and have loved every moment of playing this game. I know 3 hours is no feat, but I would still like to say that this game is a must-play for wizard game enthusiasts.

its very good, I feel like the goddamn avatar dashing about and launching spells 😁

the game is a magic multi task game. It has boses and has water,fire,wind and Earth abilities. the game is really fun and i recamend playing it.

It's a good Game. Fast paced but also strategic. Also an almost endless amount of Character setups to fit your play style.

One of my all time favorite games. I 100% the game on switch and bought it again on my PC bc the gameplay hook is that strong

A lot of people are saying this is superior compared to the second game but I just don't feel it. While it has its own 2D charm, the actual clarity in game is terrible. Many times it's way too messy and attacks are poorly telegraphed. Along with that, you can get off screen attacked by enemies before you even get to see them.

The game has its good points and I do like the combat style. It's definitely something unique that I never really had before with other roguelikes that I've tried. But, it's just so bogged down by how messy it is. The fast paced gameplay wouldn't be so bad if the bosses didn't spam their attacks. Most fights it feels like I better one shot them before they one shot me, or I offscreen cheese them before they do it to me.

Again, this is just how I feel about it and maybe other individuals have better eyesight so it's not a problem. I love the art style and its unique charms, but the second game has much better clarity and it doesn't feel like I'm getting killed by stuff out of my control.

This game is unplayable by the time you reach the second boss, you get half a second to hit them while you still have stuff trying to hit. its not even like they are squishy . you get stunned for every little thing you do and almost every relic is trash

ignore 3 hours soon to be 30

Still one of the best action roguelikes around, highly recommend it whether you're playing solo or with a friend. Everything about it just flows together nicely and makes the game really fun to play and replay!

Really, i can't think of too many games like it!

Controls seem sticky, powers frequently don't trigger even though you press the button. Difficulty feels weirdly unfair, with a huge number of stun-lock kind of attacks where if you get hit by one you get pummelled for several seconds. Some enemies start attacking before they're even on screen with sudden long-range attacks. Enemy types sets get changed every play so it takes a disproportionate amount of time to learn the threats because they get swapped out just as you're getting used to them. There's some fun to be had but overall it just feels overly difficult and seems to expect you to put in FAR too much time to make progress. There's no real sense of progression, either. Nothing seems to harmonise or have synergies, there's little feel of being able to craft a "build", you just get a handful of powers and that's it. It's just not interesting enough to spend the time required to find out what else it has to offer.

One of the best action roguelikes I've had the pleasure of experiencing. Criminally underrated for some reason

Great one

This game is so hard my entire nervous system shot out my hole, would recommend, needed the deep cleanse.

Very pretty, very good, wizard power very fun, yes yes

very fun, but it is a roguelike game so if you dont like games such as: dead cells and isaac the rebirth(i thinks those are rogue likes) you wont like this game. but if you do it is very enjoyable

Fun game. Hard and rewarding.

lots of fun solo or with a friend.

Give us some iframes D: epic game by the way

Great game, online coop would be nice

magic

godamn this is a good game. it is one of the best roguelites i have ever played. though i already have all achievements i will probably return to this game very often, there are so many builds, spells and relics i need to try, and i still need to actually master all the bosses aside from the fire one. but so far it has been an amazing experience of mostly fooling around with random spells. can't wait for the second game to come out completely

Stumbled across this genre the other day - rougelike action is neat!
The game has fairly balanced mechanics. I love when you get better by learning the game flow and not just with new skills, armor, etc.

Its a great game. I've got 20 hours and still haven't beaten it. Not sure if its cause I'm bad or cause the games just hard. In a fun way of course

muy entretenido el juego, si bien es algo corta la run, te da bastantes horas de entretencion

High skill ceiling but massive rng factor

Pretty cool 👍 would reccomend

this game makes me not want to play wizard of legend 2

really satisfying combat and variety of spells and items. Core gameplay loop is great. Maybe the map design and enemies could have more variety but having to be procedurally generated thats ok.

A big fan of the pixel art style, superb soundtracks, and very replayable gameplay.

Great game overall. It's story line is simple but still fun. Great spells are rare when going through the trials is my only complaint. There are only around 30 good normal spells (excluding chaos magic) and the rest are just worthless.

Great game, looking forward to the full release of the second one. Cheers!

It's a truly amazing game worth every penny - especially in co-op mode with a friend

Great game. I love the different spells combos and builds.

They nailed it. Wizard gaming at it's peak. Too bad air fucking sucks as an element.

I normally cant get into fast paced games like this because I suck at them, But With this one I picked it up easily and have been loving it. The combat system is unique and has a lot of depth, yet is intuitive enough to pick up easily

Zip Zap soggy waffles and a 11/10 game, the developers can have my will to live
