Gameplay[edit]
Wizard of Legend is a top-down 2D roguelike game where the player controls a wizard as they attempt to complete a 10-floor procedurally generated dungeon, the 'Chaos Trials', using a selection of various spells to defeat various enemies and bosses and become the titular 'Wizard of Legend'.[2] Each button or key casts a spell, called 'arcana', in the form of a basic attack, an evade, a 'signature' (more powerful) arcana, and then a variety of alternate spells to defeat enemies, bosses and transversing the dungeon.[3] New spells can be bought in the dungeon with collected money, or added permanently to equip before entering the dungeon through 'Chaos Gems', a persistent currency.[2] Passive upgrades, called Relics, are collected in the same way.[2] The game is completed after defeating three major bosses (wizards representing fire, earth, water, air, and lightning), and a final boss representing all the normal elements as well as a special element known as chaos.[2]
Chaos Trials[edit]
The Chaos Trials are a structurally randomized series of rooms that increase in difficulty with time. The Chaos Trials are separated into four sections. The first three sections are each themed with one of the five basic arcana mentioned above. Each section consists of three floors - two regular dungeon floors and a boss floor. Each boss has a different skill set based on their arcana. Additionally, each changes the amount of attacks they perform based on how many floors have been beaten. After the first three sections are completed, the final boss is found as the last trial. He wields the chaos element, a powerful arcana which is gradually unlocked for the player as a result of repeatedly defeating the final boss.
Wizard of Legend has no problem admitting that it's hard as nails. In fact, the game is so hard it makes some of the other Rogue-lites look quite tame. However the difficulty isn't in being overwhelme. Wizard of Legend (2018) About This Game. Wizard of Legend is a fast paced dungeon crawler with an emphasis on dynamic magical combat.

The game received generally favourable reviews upon its release in May 2018, holding a score of 76/100 on Metacritic.[7][8][9][10] Kevin McClusky of Destructoid awarded it 6/10, saying 'Spell effects are beautifully animated, and combat feels fluid and entertaining.' but criticised frame skips on the Nintendo Switch edition of the game.[2] Dominic Tarason of Rock, Paper, Shotgun said 'Wizard of Legend is a good, if lopsided game. The moment-to-moment combat is highly flexible and seldom anything less than satisfying, especially in co-op.', but criticised the repetition of the dungeon, saying 'If you can overlook the repetition in targets and mix up your own playstyle, this one’s an easy recommendation, but for players who stick with the tried-and-tested, Wizard of Legend can slip into monotony.'[3]
Bradley Ellis of Easy Allies awarded the game a 7/10, saying 'Wizard of Legend nails the feeling of being a grand wizard. Experimenting with all the different spells is a blast, and there are some heart-pounding boss fights. The peripheral elements fail to deepen or expand Wizard of Legend, but the core gameplay makes for a good time if you’re looking to fill a roguelike fix.'[11]
The game recorded 300,000 sales by the end of May 2018, having been on sale for 16 days.[12] By the end of July 2018, the game had sold over 500,000 copies.[13]
