- The Wizard is a brand fresh Bullet Heaven style game, available now
- This is a premium title on Google Play in which you play as a wizard who was commissioned by Zeus to fight Hades.
- The Wizard is another independent production perfect for a weekend
We’re wrapping up Friday, it’s time to once again discuss fresh releases, especially those from independent developers. I think it’s essential to highlight them because not everyone realizes that there is a pretty good indie scene on mobile, it’s just drowned out by flashy gacha and fresh AAA spin-offs. Today’s topic is the fresh bullet heaven game, The Wizard
Catchy name aside, The Wizard is a premium game available now on Google Play that puts you in the shoes of a wizard tasked by Zeus to fight the forces of Hades. To do so, you’ll need to wield the familiar, shiny, rapidly upgradable weapons and spells that will be all too familiar to fans of games like Vampire Survivors.
I won’t beat around the bush, because The Wizard is definitely unfinished, if you believe the angular buttons on the right side. But for an indie game that’s clearly operating on a tight budget, it looks like a lot of passion has gone into it, and it has the feel of senior Flash games that I think inspire the best mobile titles.
Magic
I’ll admit I’m not sure how many real vampires were running around in old Greece. But those dazzling powers and spells are definitely there. I should also admit that calling this sky projectiles is a bit of a misnomer, since the auto-attacks that are a staple of the genre aren’t present. But the ability to mix and match spells and have more control over attacks rather than just movement will definitely win some people over.
