Wizard Of Legend was an excellent game with an excellent core to it. Channelling the very best bits of Avatar: The Last Airbender, it bought the fantasy of being a kung-fu wizard via exacting, frantic fight. My solely actual gripe with it in my review here was that there simply wasn’t sufficient of it. Today, builders Contingent99 addressed that, including a bit extra of every little thing to the arcade dungeon crawl, utterly free. It now now contains a wind-themed dungeon and corresponding arch-mage to combat, new spells to sling, new enemies to make use of them on, and an limitless survival mode. Check it out within the trailer beneath.
You can see the complete patch notes for the Sky Palace replace here, however the brief model is that whereas a the game is identical size, you received’t at all times be travelling via the identical three worlds. The addition of a wind-themed dungeon goes some approach to mixing issues up, and the brand new boss and enemies scale in aggression and depth relying on if you encounter them. On high of the brand new space, there’s 20 new spells, every with a Signature powered-up model. 35 new relics ought to supply much more selection to character perk builds as you’re employed your method via the dungeons, too.
There’s a bunch extra enemy selection, not simply within the new Sky Palace space, too. Air elemental variations of many of the customary ‘knight’ enemies make an look, plus Lancer enemies can are available in fruity elemental flavours. There’s a brand new sort of mini-boss, a number of new blob enemy varieties, the imposing sounding Laser Cyclops, and everybody’s favouritest enemy ever: Mimics. Yep, these large beneficiant treasure chests may be your worst enemy now. Once you’ve completed the story, you may as well play an limitless mode, and I’m to see how the game escalates previous the unique high problem.
All the opposite environments have seen some enchancment too, with one other 90+ room variations to run round in. It’s not a treatment to every little thing that ails the game (I’d like to see no less than 5 or 6 environments, and perhaps some extension to endgame), however this replace provides an excellent little bit of padding to a game that beforehand felt a bit skeletal. The fight is each bit nearly as good as earlier than (higher, because of the brand new stuff and a few stability tuning), and now there’s extra issues so that you can hit. That’s all I may actually ask for in DLC, and making it free is only a breath of contemporary (magical) air.
The Sky Palace replace for the game is free, out now and with patch notes here. Wizard Of Legend is presently 40% off on each Steam and Humble, bringing it right down to a breezy £7.43/€9.59/$9.59.
