A really cute roguelike dungeon crawler. I absolutely love the art style of this game. It is not The Binding of Isaac but that's ok! Not every roguelike game has to be challenging to the point where you have to grind countless of hours to succeed. The game is not overly difficult and I would definitely recommend it for more casual players.
A wizards lizard is a great rogue rpg game. I mostly don't play rogue games, but they can be quite fun. This little rogue rpg features areanas, secret levels and characters, and time runs. This can make the game quite fun. It is also alot like the zelda games. There is also a sequel on steam that is still in EA (and has been for quite awhile): http://store.steampowered.com/app/373470 Recommended for fun and rpg elements.
The game was very fun and not too difficult as far as rogue-like games go. I liked the fact that the more times you went through, the more starting money and blueprints (for buying starting gear) you collect. That way even failure runs can have some benefit. Obtaining different starting characters was nice too. If you are really struggling with the game - there are guides out with a few tips that make the game much easier (how to find the secret areas and how to save townsfolk to get more starting money). Side Note: The developers for this game were amazing! They worked their hardest to address all concerns and even fixed an achievement glitch long after they stopped working on the game.
At the Time of Writing Game: A Wizard's Lizard Price: $8.49* (reg $16.99) Genre: Action/RPG/Rogue-like Time Played: 42 hours Personal Enjoyment Rating: ☺☺☺☺☻ Links I Found Helpful** A Youtube review by Northernlion [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYPa6XHPxP4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYPa6XHPxP4 General You may think that I absolutely love this game if you've looked at my hours played, and although I am enjoying it and I do recommend it, take it with a grain of salt please. I've found this game to be somewhat difficult, but the completionist in me just can not accept defeat, and so I keep coming back again and again. At this point I have 50 deaths and 0 wins. Therefore, I'm not at all sure what the ratio is between the game being challenging and my skill level being awful. There are a few characters to unlock, however that is far in your future if you're anything like me. First you need to learn the ropes of the game. One of the most enjoyable aspects of a Wizard's Lizard is the opportunity to explore for yourself and get to grips with how to accomplish the objective of the game. However, as you learn a little more each time you die, it has to be said that the biggest drawback to this game is the repetativeness. Last of all, I must mention that I have not played The Binding of Isaac, and therefore I can not give you any comments comparing the two games to each other. I find the Binding of Isaac too gory. Gameplay You are a lizard. A very cute lizard that looks cross and sticks his tongue out every time you attack. Your objective is to battle Death and help your wizard. You do this by wandering through the dungeon until you get to the last area. There are three main areas and two side areas. Getting hit (losing health) is a very bad thing because healing items are relatively few and far between. As you progress further and further into the dungeon, you'll be able to rescue villagers and buy blueprints which are the two persistent progression aspects to the game. They will give you more options in town before you start a run, making you more powerful, and thus more likely to get further. That's about it. It's pretty simple. Kill stuff before it kills you. Don't get hit. Get to the end. Although, as I might have mentioned before, it isn't necessarily easy to do. Controls Controls are WASD to move and arrow keys to attack (you can also use the mouse to attack, but I found it rather cumbersome to use). There are few hotkeys to learn to make life easier, but the three most important ones are: Z is a spell attack, X puts down a totem, and shift makes you dash. It's important to learn to use your abilities to help you clear out rooms faster and with less death. Storyline Very basic. It's really more of a theme than anything else. At the start there is a short cutscene setting you up to go rescue your wizard. Since I haven't managed to win a game yet I can't comment much more than that. Sound I really enjoy the music, it's quite fun if repetitive, but repetitive like Tetris or other beloved old games. You are warned if you hate repetitive music. The sound effects are rather basic and a little jarring on the ears. There are only a few which I deem practical sounds - giving you warning of an incoming attack. Graphics Delightful graphics in my opinion. Cartoony, sure, but charming. I also appreciate that I can turn off the bloody globs of zombie exploding because I do not enjoy gore. The lighting effects are very neat, although after a while they became tiresome for me because they do make gameplay harder. There is an option to turn the lighting effects off. Pros + explore the game for yourself to learn the ropes + charming graphics + hotkeys + a lot to do for completionists + achievements*** are more like challenges + super cute lizard Cons - repetitive - repetitive - repetitive Help Me Help You If you did not find this review helpful, I would really appreciate your constructive criticism - tell me why it wasn’t helpful for you. It’s my hope to make the reviews that I do take the time to write up, as helpful as they possibly can be. Rothana's Steam Review Archive For those that are interested in seeing more of my reviews, I have set up an archive of them at an external website. I don't earn anything off of this at all, it's just a little side project that I add to when I can. Steam won't let me create a direct link though, so you'll need to make your own way to the URL I describe now: rothana dot weebly dot com Footnotes * Any prices that I mention are in CDN because that is what I see. The primary price I list at the top is the price that I bought the game at. ** I will not be keeping an eye on whether the links are up to date, so if they are broken I apologise. Remember that these are external websites and I'm just trying to be helpful - I'm not responsible for the content on the other end. *** Don't even get me started on achievements. My rant follows: Suffice it to say that I think most achievements are complete waste of space. The only reason I'm going to mention them as a plus point on a game is if they're being used properly. I don't care if you managed to kill your first zombie in the first five minutes of the tutorial... that isn't an achievement. Achievements should be challenges for the player to complete which are somewhat difficult to accomplish, and/or make you think about the game in a different way, thereby getting you to explore different ways of doing things and thus expanding upon the gameplay.
