Do you’ve a quick paced, spell-slinging dungeon crawler formed gap in your gaming life? Well, Wizard of Legend may need you lined. It launched a Kickstarter campaign final 12 months, however a brand new trailer has simply introduced it to our consideration – the place it in all probability ought to have been for some time.
I simply spent ten minutes zapping my approach round the demo, which has secured the sport’s place on my ‘awesome wizard simulators’ watch checklist.
I’m reminded extra of Battlerite than typical RPG’s, with its lightning quick tempo and emphasis on dodging. Wizard of Legend may not have fairly the identical stage of tactical nuance, however a fleshed out marketing campaign ought to make up for that.
You play as a competitor within the Chaos Trials, which sees you thrown right into a collection of dungeons the place it’s important to collect an arsenal of spells and relics with the objective of changing into, you guessed it, a wizard of legend. The Kickstarter web page goes into all the small print, and features a neat description of how the spells are made by harnessing ‘raw chaos’. I at all times get pleasure from it when a fictional world explains the principles behind how its magic works – perhaps it’s one thing to do with making use of logic to one thing that’s inherently foolish/mysterious.
The principal draw remains to be the fight although, as fantastically illustrated by these gifs.
There’ll even be native multiplayer, in each cooperative and aggressive type. As an enormous fan of Battlerite and Magicka’s PVP mode, I’m particularly excited concerning the latter.
You can check out the demo here, which has an fascinating – if limiting – setup. It takes place properly after the precise recreation, in a contemporary museum that’s been set as much as commemorate the Chaos Trials.
Wizard of Legend will launch early subsequent 12 months.
