Our take on Kevin's Path to Wizdom
Rather than treating spells as ordinary menu commands, the game makes each cast a pattern drawn across a 3x3 grid. Its turn-based structure also gives movement equal weight with attacks, making positioning and timing central to dungeon progress.
What is Kevin's Path to Wizdom?
Play as Kevin, a wizarding student whose face has been stolen, and explore gloomy dungeons beneath the academy.
The game combines turn-based movement with tactical combat against enemies such as rats and slimes. Spells are cast by drawing patterns in a 3x3 aether grid, with uses that can attack enemies, open doors, or reveal secrets. Movement can wait one turn, advance to a neighboring square, or cover multiple turns at once. Enemy movement ranges and health must be considered before acting. Spells gain skill through repeated use and can reach farther after upgrades. Exploration can reveal potions, life-meter expansions, forbidden spells, and checkpoints for saving progress mid-map.
