Our take on War of Wizards
Rather than relying only on preset spell selection, players draw spells with VR controllers, and the drawing’s size and accuracy affect its strength. Matches combine that casting method with a crystal-defense objective and minion direction.
What is War of Wizards?
War of Wizards is a competitive VR game combining spell drawing with tower defense strategy.
Players use VR controllers to draw spells, with spell strength determined by each drawing’s size and accuracy. The match objective is to destroy the opposing wizard’s crystal and protect one’s own. Players build a magic deck, respond to battlefield changes, counter spells and lead minions. In-game prompts show spell shapes, so players do not need to memorize them. Body movements can be used to dodge attacks. Matches are available against friends, other online players or AI bots at different levels. The game also offers multiple modes, avatars and wands.
