Maybe the best puzzle game on Steam. It's the kind that gives you a box full of Lego and a new shape to make each time. You could do it any which way with a whole bunch of pieces, but the fun's in grabbing a new bunch each time and figuring out how they'll fit together. Maybe trying to do it in as few pieces as possible, that kind of thing. It's kind of a roguelike? But it's just pure tactics - if you ever played Hoplite on iOS/Android it's like that times a million. You'll know within the refund window if you click with it, and if you do then you'll get your money's worth for sure. All of the above also goes for Rift Wizard 1. Do a bit of research on which you'd prefer as they're very similar games that go in different design directions. 2 doesn't nullify 1, it's less of a sequel and more of the dev's do-over of an already great game. If you want even MORE build synergy focus and less tactics, Path of Achra is that way.

I might be statistically one of the worst players to ever touch this game with nearly 100 hours played and zero dubs, but this game is tight if u like classic-style roguelikes with a heavy focus on strategy, immense build variety, and infinite replayability

I am too stupid for this game. If you have a ripply brain like the ocean waves during a storm this will likely be for you. 10/10 Ego Check.

6/10 Unusual game. It's mostly Traditional Roguelike with a splash of old school Gauntlet, but with *tons* of spells and items. But the difficulty inadvertently discourages experimenting with spells, which is unfortunate. It's also very unfriendly to new players, bombarding them with a massive list of spells/skills without useful filters for those lists. Pros: - Huge spell list, all with upgrades available. One of the biggest spell lists I've ever seen in a game - Creative items - Can create just about any specific "Wizard" you could possibly think of. I'm working on an Ice summon / Ice spell hybrid right now that summons Ice Phoenixes while throwing out Blizzards and such. Very fun Mehs: - Music isn't bad, but it's not quite good enough or varied enough. The simpler a game's graphics are, the more important the music is - Graphics are mostly fine, but it's kinda hard to see enemy spawners, Wizards/Liches among all the other stuff... and it's absolutely critical to know where they are - Summons are a very important part of the game. While it's possible to go without any, the *vast* majority of builds will use at least some. This can be annoying to players looking for more of a "solo wizard" fantasy Cons: - Difficulty ramps up really quick. I wish there were some difficulty options or something. It's largely a matter of wasted time in trying new combos that are instantly doomed to fail - Most choices will result in your death, so the huge spell variety is kind of an illusion - if you don't specialize enough, your damage is too low to proceed, but if you DO specialize, you'll get screwed by immune/resistant enemies everywhere. There are therefore very limited viable builds - Summons can get permanently silenced and become useless - It's rare, but some enemies and abilities leave out critical information. That can result in a permadeath - Filters for the massive list of spells/skills are *horrible*. They filter out extremely important, critical skills you need for your build. New players get screwed as they cannot filter to find critical skills - Dev seems to be completely silent. No review responses or forum post responses Some "final" thoughts after killing the boss many, many times and having done most of the challenges: difficulty soon stops ramping up as quickly as your power does, but you'll run into some pretty ridiculous maps in the late game. Like a dozen or more enemies that swap places with you (and *only* you), dozens of ranged silence attackers, dozens of silence aura enemies, enemies that attack through walls, "immortal" enemies, enemies with infinite attack range, dozens of enemies summoning every round, etc. It can be a fine line between rewarding challenge and tedium and this gets to be a bit annoying. (Ironically, it's the huge 3x3 or whatever enemies that tend to be the easiest because you're not trying to track dozens of enemies with thrice as many abilites). If you didn't have to fight the entirety of every map at once, it would be more fun as more builds would actually be viable. Editing again after recent update: reported issues and bugs aren't being addressed as much as new content is being added. The spell/gear list is already massive and it just keeps growing. Kind of a mess balance-wise, to be honest.

Feb. 2025

I sincerely want to love this game, I really do; however in its current state its just not possible. In short the game is too difficult while hosting extremely difficult build orders to even have a chance at successfully beating the game. There needs to be a difficulty system that increases based on players' choice, sort of like an accession mode. Aside from this, I hope the game gets a lot more spells in the future. Aside from this, I do really like this game, I want it to succeed but I am slamming my head into a wall trying to get even my first win.
