An Amazing Wizard is a fast-paced, Metroidvania-like 2D hand-drawn pixel art game where you create your own spells to fight enemies. You play as a young wizard on a quest to recover lost memories, conquer the world, and master the powers of 7 elements. Now, players can experience the game for free through its newly released prologue on Steam.
The game is a passion project from Tiny Goblins, an indie development team of two: Gobo, the coder and designer, and Ivan, a freelance pixel artist. The duo has spent the last four years working on the game during their free time, and it was picked up a year ago by indie publisher Erabit from Singapore.
Inspired by Dead Cells, Noita, and Wizard of Legend, An Amazing Wizard focuses on spell crafting and long-range combat. In this procedurally generated side-scroller, you face off against a variety of monsters by experimenting with spells. Players can enchant spells and weapons, merge spells in different combinations, and collect artifacts to create powerful builds. While there are 7 Elemental Wizards, after starting your run, you could also evolve into different subclasses possible for the said wizard type.
The full game is planned for release in Q1 2025, featuring 5 worlds and 5 difficulty levels. As players progress, they will unlock new story elements with each milestone.
On September 27th, the FREE Prologue was released, offering players a chance to experience the following content:
- Fight using 60 spells and a dozen melee weapons
- Enchant with Spells and Weapons 100 special effect
- Collect 120 Artifacts
- Level up with 100 upgrades of varying rarities
- Merge spells up to 4 times, allowing for unique combinations and effects
What is Spell Merging and How Does It Work?
By MERGING spells, you set rules for the trigger and order. It is a bit like Bio Prototype or Magicraft, but with a catch.
Order: Spells activate simultaneously with the 1st spell, One after another, or in groups.
Here is an example of SIMULTANEOUS + GROUP Merge:
BEFORE
- Icicle shoots multiple projectiles rapidly
- Fireball is strong and ignites enemies
- Friendly Fire orbits around you
MERGE
Friendly Fire into Fireball >> Friendly Fire orbits around Fireball
Merged spell into Icicle >> Fireball with Friendly Fire shoots together with Icicle projectile
Trigger: Spells are activated according to the Main/Sacrifice spell type: on hit, on cast, during the active phase
Tornado-type Spells vs other types:
- Zone-type spells will cast several Tornadoes in different directions
- Bomb-type will cast a few Tornadoes on hit / destruction
- Projectile-type will cast Tornadoes upon launch
What’s Included in the Prologue?
- Play as wizards of 5 elements
- Explore two worlds: the Ancient Desert and Hell, each with 2 difficulty levels
- Face mobs, mini-bosses, and an epic world lords
- Encounter dozens of unique enemies on your path to victory
