Mechanics

The action in Wizard of Legend is presented from a top-down perspective. The players must complete quests and fight enemies. The combat system requires high agility and precision – the players must learn how to avoid attacks of specific types of enemies and how to counter them with their own spells. Thanks to the random-generated levels, each playthrough is slightly different.

The players can use more than one hundred spells that cause various effects. Proper selection and finding the right moment to use the spells is one of the keys to victory. The spells can be also combined into powerful combos.

Game modes

Wizard of Legend can be played alone or with another person in a local cooperation mode (it also features an option for two players to fight against each other).

Technical aspects

Wizard of Legend features nice looking, two-dimensional retro graphics. Character and monster designs reference classic games from the nineties’, but the models are better animated. Spells animations are looking nice as well.

COGconnected: 90 / 100 by Scott Sullivan

There really isn't much I can fault Wizard of Legend for overall. It's apparent that Contingent99 knows what they are doing, and they've confirmed that there is post-launch content on the way as well, so be sure to give these two gentlemen an honest shot, as you may end up as pleasantly surprised as I was, if not more so.

Shacknews: 8 / 10 by Brittany Vincent

Wizard of Legend is a satisfying and thoroughly challenging roguelike with plenty of arcana to discover, relics to purchase, and several ways to help players feel as though they're customizing the game to make it totally theirs.
