The old school UI & graphics make this game seem a lot more intimidating than it actually is. It's mostly just an aesthetic choice. This is a very accessible game; easy to learn, difficult to master.

Leaving this review after getting my first win. Rift Wizard is very brutal but in the fun way. This game gives you all 140+ unique spells (each having upgrades) and 100+ unique skills ready for choosing right from the start of a new run which seems absolutely absurd. You have so many options that it can seem overwhelming, but that is what makes this game so fun. You aren't meant to get a complete understanding of every spell at the start to pick what's most optimal. You just pick a spell that looks cool. Then you choose a spell or skill you find that complements it. You learn the game bit by bit, slowly optimizing your choices. It feels as if you are a wizard pouring over your ancient tome, saying "Aha!" when you find the perfect skill to compliment your selection of spells. When you do good it isn't because you got lucky, its your strategy. It's balanced enough to where there aren't just a couple of builds that are good, there are ways to make practically every spell work! The game still has a good bit of RNG, there are over 500 different enemies along with randomized floor layouts, items and shrines (buffs you assign to one particular spell), but you can see the entire next level ahead of time and have multiple options for which one you go to next, adding an extra level of strategy to the game. Do you risk going to a level with better items or do you play it safe with a level that has enemies weak to your most powerful spell? Now just like classic roguelikes this game is tough. You will lose a lot and sometimes what the enemies do just feel straight up unfair, but overtime you will get the hang of it. See every loss as a learning experience, pay attention to why you failed and see what you can do to cover that weakness next time. There are a few spell upgrades I wish were better explained, for example minion upgrades don't tell you what buffs the minions get before you select them, but I keep a Notepad document open and whenever I run into a situation like that I choose one and write it down so I know for next time. Rift Wizard is a really fun game and has a ton of replay value, you just have to be willing to learn and stick with it!

Less commitment version of caves of qud almost. Easier to play than most classic roguelikes because the actions are limited, in a good way.

Rift Wizard is pure, distilled, tactical chaos. It’s brilliant, it’s brutal, and it lets you create builds so stupidly powerful that even the demons look offended. 11/10. Would accidentally vaporize myself again.

somehow even more difficult than noita, but very good and perfect for difficult roguelite enjoyers
