Our take on Evil Wizard
The defining premise is role reversal: the playable character is a defeated final boss returning to reclaim a castle from the heroes who conquered it.
What is Evil Wizard?
Play as a defeated Evil Wizard attempting to retake a castle occupied by an army of heroes.
Explore interconnected locations with metroidvania-inspired navigation, solve puzzles, avoid traps, and unlock routes by using skills and elemental powers. Combat combines melee attacks, dashes, and spells, with fire, ice, void, lightning, and earth available for attacks and enemy weaknesses. Equipment upgrades and character adjustments support encounters with increasingly difficult enemies and bosses, each with distinct abilities and combat styles. The game uses pixel-art environments and frames its action RPG structure with humor and a revenge-focused story.
