Whiskers and Wizardry features an innovative spell crafting system, where you tactically combine spell runes in order to crate entirely new spells and effects! On top of that Whiskers and Wizardry is packed with exciting features loved by the genre’s fans, such as procedurally generated areas, pick 1-in-3 upgrades, item crafting, meta progression feline powers (talents) and what seems like an endless horde of refreshingly innovative enemies to fight and deadly traps to avoid and navigate. With its compelling gameplay, you are shown no mercy! Die once, and you’re dead for good, and must restart the adventure. To succeed on your quest, you must engage in fierce combat, dodge a massive amount of enemy attacks, whilst timing your most powerful attacks perfectly. Combining the right spell runes are absolutely critical to master; for example add the Arcane Shield spawn rune with the Duplication Travel rune and Thunder and Penetration Impact runes, to turn yourself into a massive protective retaliating arcane shield that even the toughest of enemies are challenged to push through.

 
Whiskers and Wizardry is a must-have in your game collection to fans of the genre and introductory players looking for a refreshing new challenge. With its gorgeous graphics and coherent art direction, cat puns and lighthearted humor, procedurally generated levels and tons of spells and abilities to master, be sure you Wishlist the game today.
