Wizard of Legend 2

Wizard of Legend 2 is an action game with RPG and roguelite elements. It's the sequel to a popular game from 2018. Unlike its predecessor, it wasn't developed by Contingent99. Their role was taken over by Dead Mage, a team known for Children of Morta, Shadow Blade and Tale of Ronin.

Plot

The game is set in the same magical fantasy land as its predecessor. The story revolves around the challenge known as the Journey to the Floating Lands. Most adventurers who undertake it die, yet plenty still try, as the reward is the legendary Chalice of Immortality.

We play as one such wizard facing the challenge.

Mechanics

Wizard of Legend 2 expands upon the ideas introduced in the first game. It's a top-down action game revolving around dynamic combat against diverse enemies.

In battle we mainly wield a diverse roster of spells. Many return from the first game, many others are entirely new. To succeed, we must select our techniques carefully and chain them into mighty combos.

Apart from combat spells, we can also cast defensive and supportive spells to buff ourselves, for example, increase our movement speed. We must also dodge enemy attacks and different threats scattered around the map.

As we progress through the game we unlock new spells and upgrades, thus becoming stronger. The game also features roguelite elements. Death is permanent, but the player retains part of their progress after dying. Many map elements are randomly generated, resulting in a different experience each run.

Game modes

The game supports singleplayer and co-op for up to four players.

Technical aspects

Wizard of Legend 2 abandons the original game's 2D pixel art. The sequel instead goes for a cartoonish 3D artstyle.
