May 2025
This is a fun roguelike game. I've played solo and with friends and haven't had too many issues with it at all. To quickly sum up what my pros/cons are without typing out a huge paragraph: TL;DR Get it, it isn't bad. It just needs more content and polishing in COOP play. Update 10: From the Dead They fixed Update 9's issues with the enemy HP scaling too much and made the game way more fun now by fixing an issue with enemies not spawning properly. Now, the problem is that Dark is pointless. You convert an enemy and when they attack they instantly aren't converted anymore. However, they are still very adamant on prolonging new bosses and enemies with excuses. Still feels like the developers don't listen very well to their community. I don't know why they hold off on new enemies/bosses. They claim it takes more time, but they've had 10 months since EA release to release new bosses. You'd think it takes more time creating a new Wizard, its spell and all its Outfits than the time it would take by creating a new boss. I'm still holding on, but I'm about to take a long break if I have to look at the same enemies over and over again on Update 11. Pros [*] Easy to understand [*] Casual playable [*] Not a bullet-hell game. [*] Endless Mode [*] Different difficulties [*] Plenty to unlock [*] Overall satisfying when you have a good build going Cons COOP CONS [*] No in-game pause in coop. [*] Co-op play, the host is ALWAYS favored. Meaning, there's A LOT of desync for other players. OTHER CONS [*] They ruined Dark infusion. It's the most useless infusion now. Enemies don't stay converted for a long duration like in Update 9. [*] No new enemies (stampede enemies don't count) or bosses since Early Access launch and the excuses they make doesn't make any sense. Starting to get annoyed because the game is quite boring looking at the same enemies all the time. Only reason why I played so much is because I have friends to play with and they enjoy it. [*] The only good map is Meadows. The other maps hinder survival. [*] Characters you unlock have a base spell that you can obtain in-game at random. IMO, characters need unique spells to THEM only. It makes unlocking new characters quite redundant. What I'd like to see in the future [*] Reroll stat cards for Gold instead of being limited to a maximum of 3 rerolls. 3 rerolls is nothing at all, I'd love to see more utilization of gold. [*] New Objectives. [*] Coop polishing. [*] Being able to ban specific cards from showing up ever again. There's so many spell upgrade cards that survivability tanks further into the game because of the lacking health or other related survival cards. [*] More enemy types and bosses. [*] More upgrades, spells, etc. [*] Spells unique to Wizards only that cannot be obtained by other wizards when playing. I still recommend but it does need some work.

Its ok... I love that it is multiplayer. It feels like vamp survivors meets Magicka. However, I think it really needs better spell vfx and sfx. Most of them don't feel like they pack a punch. The infusions make them look a little better but again, needs more. Also, this game DESPERATELY needs different monsters/mobs. Killing the same bugs is not only annoying, it just doesn't fit with the theme of wizards. Where are the skeles, zombies, demons, etc? Things you'd expect wizards to fight in a game of D&D. At the very least, make the bugs different in each of the different zones. Forest, Ice, Lava? All the same kind of bugs? And each zone should have a dif main boss. And each difficulty too. Has a lot of potential but gets stale fast. And please please please give us some variation in music too. It's looped a little too hard and also doesn't change per biome.

A small game and easy to play. But could've been better if the higher difficult offers more variant of the gameplay instead of scaling those mobs stats. But so far I'm enjoying this game.

Pretty cool so far, one of the better games in the genre. Feels very smooth to play and I personally really like the graphics/aesthetic. Needs some more content, but the road map is looking promising.

10/10 gameplay 7/10 overall for what it wants to be Self damaging spells is annoying, co op damage is annoying, enemy variety limited, no clear explanation on what elements do what or how they combine. Having said that it shows promise and its very new so I dont expect everything to be done. If u like Vampire survivors, gunfire reborn or darkest dungeon you will enjoy this.
