About This Game The Council oversees the elam families, aristocrats who are descended from the first humans in Rilfanor, and the banlits, who were originally people born without magical abilities. The Guild has never admitted banlits because of their lack of magical capacity; and they've never admitted women because they believed women were too weak-minded to control such power.Now, many generations later, the elam magic is weakening, and latent magic talent has reappeared among the banlit population. Many of the elam are in denial, but some of them want to take the radical step of allowing banlits, including women, into the Guild.In your quest you'll explore randomly generated dungeons, collect treasures, master magic, avoid traps, solve puzzles, and of course cleanse the dungeons of all the evil minions within.

I have 300+ games installed, and this is only my second review on steam; Hands of Fate was my first. Hands of Fate because I thought the design was really unique; Rogue Wizards, because one mechanic was stopping me from enjoying a really good indie game.It's a great time filler. Not as complex as some other rogue-likes, which is not a bad thing. Dungeons of Dredmor is probably my favorite in the genre, and the fact that I'm comparing them favorably says a lot. That said, here is the one thing that is almost stopping me from continuing to play it further:The damn tiles popping in and out. It's annoying as hell, makes me dizzy after a while, and serves absolutely no purpose.I'm not sure if the point of it is to minimize memory use by not keeping everything on the screen; other than that, I can't imagine why that would be part of the design. Granted, it's cool when you first see it. I thought it was cool in Bastion. But Jeez, lock the tiles once they have been discovered. Put in a "fog of war" if you want, but don't keep things popping up and down through the entire game. It's almost a game-breaker for me.One other small complaint. When I'm hallucinating, and I've killed all the bad guys, don't make me hit the space bar 45 times until the effect wear off; it serves no purpose.Otherwise, nice game.. In its current state, I cannot recommend this game. I read the commentary on the mud-on-the-screen \/ black HUD error, and still thought I could muscle through it. I take pride in surviving games way longer than normal. In 7 Days, I typically go over 500 days without dying in a new game. And even that's because I'm surprised and take on a bear with a shovel. But dying in this game simply because the health potion is simply gone is inexcusable.THIS game, however good their intention is, is unpolished and only half-thought. Yes, there's a story, and yes it's pretty, but it's just not a whole game. The biggest issue is the mudslinger HUD removal thing. I'm to understand this game is not early access, which makes it a full release game. But in under 3 hours of playing, I've already got a vanishing HUD. It would be one thing if you could interact with the missing HUD by guessing. That'd almost be a 'game mechanic.' But this is an unmissable mistake. Even the options menu is inaccessible during these outtages. Not even a phantom window appears. But this error doesn't even happen ONLY with mud on the screen. I've had it just... happen. Not even in combat. Just standing there trading with the vendor.Then there's other stuff. I was pushing through my dislike of the black screen. I had cleared all the enemies on a floor, and had disabled all the traps. All that remained was the locked chests. Thankfully, I had bought 2 keys in the overworld before I entered. I had 2 chests left and only 1 key. It's not like you can just go back to town and hope the vendor has more keys, either. I get to one of the two chests, praying that it will drop another key, when something NEW happened: The key BROKE. If that sort of thing is going to be included in a game, it makes some RPGs more fun and challenging. But every single other game with a key-breaking mechanic TELLS you it can happen. But that wasn't the biggest concern. After the key broke, leaving me with 2 unopened chests, it dawned on me: I BOUGHT my last two keys. They were not drops on the floor. All containers were smashed, all mobs killed, everything else was done. If I hadn't COME IN with 2 keys, I would have been 4 keys behind. If each floor has goals which include killing all the mobs, opening all the chests, and disabling all the traps, and all the mobs are dead AND all the traps are disabled, then taunting the player with the missing reward caused by the devs decision to not include enough resources... That's just unreasonable.If there are goals, and no option to reach them, at least let the player know. SAY that keys can break. Say that it's LITERALLY impossible to 100% all floors. Make it clear than you CANNOT use health potions with mud on your screen. And for the sake of gaming, leave it in beta-testing until it's ready to be released. This is not a finished product. These issues lead me to believe that there are even more problems buried further into the game, where no one has yet been able to find them since they can't get past the HUD-mud in the first place.. REVIEWI finally had to tear myself away from this game to give this game a review.I LOVE IT. It is a colourful, animated rogue playing game which oozes with charm, amusing characteristics and a joy to play. GraphicsLets get the main part over. Its flat 2D (not 3D or even full 3D) and may look old hat to some of todays modern players who are use to fancy graphics etc.But, WHO CARES!The graphics are big, bold, sharp, colourful, cartoon like and detailed with some lovely animations and on a resolution of 1360 x 768 that graphics are sharp and very clear. The isometric view reminds of an old ZX spectrum game called Knightlore which was very popular at its time. I love the design of the characters that I have met so far as well as the detailed dungeon walls, floors etc. The animation is extremely good with humans eyes blinking, or the way the hero switches between weapons to the different creatures movement to the way they die. When I first saw the size of the graphics it was BIG on my screen which was good because it makes the game much more claustrophobic as you only see a small section of the dungeon and you don't know what is in front of you. As your hero moves sections of the dungeon falls away behind you as a new section rises up to meet you. When playing the game you forget it is 2d because you are so engrossed with look and style of the game play especially when the manic battles occur. Also because of the 2d aspect it mean it less strain of the computer system requirements and allows you to have battles with lots of monsters and animations flying back and forth with a fast, manic and smooth look. The death animation of the creatures ranges from cute to funny to surprising. Also the special ability that each creature has so far (Only seen a few) again ranges from very funny to amusing or even frustrating when your in battle, but that is part of the charm. The town is nicely set out with a some nice animations. But it is the dungeon where the action takes place and thrill seeing a new creature with special abilities.Score (9\/10)Sound\/MusicThe sounds effects are nice with some nice touches. I like the sound of the shadowlord dying, or when splodges hit your monitor before sliding down with a squeakily sound effect. The music is nice and I have a favourite track which takes place in the dungeon. This track has a pulsating heartbeat sound accompanied by an eerie music track which give the game more atmosphere especially when going into deeper and more challenging dungeons. The other tracks for the dungeon and town are nice and enhance the game further. Its the music for main menu that is maybe the weakest as you are more interesting in getting into the game that you bypass it quickly. Score (7\/10)GameplayThe game is turn based however due to the fast response, the smoothness and quickness of the movement\/battles etc it is very easy to be fooled into thinking that it is real-time. The number times I have moved my hero too quickly only to end up smack bang into a horde of monsters is my fault. This of course ended my turn only for the enemy to start hurls weapons, spells etc at me doing more damage before I could damage them. One particular battle was the battle with gryphons in which they made a large section of the tiled floor all ice and because of my quickness my hero and NPC were sliding about in opposite directions. This was both laughable at the start and then frustrating later due to being so eager to fight them that I forgot it was turn based. So going turn based may make the game feel slower but it cranks up the tension and atmosphere in the dungeons. Battles required tactical thought when dealing with different monsters at the same time. Boss battles require even more thought because before you know you it, your surrounded by their minions etc.There are lots of weapons in the dungeons and comparing them to your own weapons reveals each of them have their own good and bad traits. You have to decide which one might be good for you. With so much choice, I spent about 5 minutes deciding whether to replace the sword I have with a new spear which has some bigger bonus hits but with less abilities. Gold is in abundance but that is quickly spent on upgrading the armoury and blacksmith in your town to get better stronger weapons and armour.Magic is a crucial factor and with 6 schools of magic totalling 18 spells each with levels to go up in make the game more interesting which gives way to deciding which spell you feel it better for you. You have 8 slots to hold weapons, magic and other items to use in battle etc but which ones to go into which slots.Gameplay (10\/10)From what I have seen there are 2 aspects to this game: Story and Gauntlet.The Gauntlet: I first went into this by mistake right as the start with no clue as to how the game work and died very quickly. I tried again thinking I made a mistake somewhere only to die again. It was then I discovered the story aspect and realised that the gauntlet is a straight into dungeon rogue game to last as long as possible. Will try that once I complete the story aspectThe Story: This the main part of the game which introduces you to the game mechanics as well as the object of the game. Build up your hero male\/female with weapons bought or found, fight monsters, gain gold and acquire other items scattered about the dungeon to help you . There is a town which you have to build to acquire more weapons and allow you access to your magic spells etc. In your quests in the dungeons you will encounter NPC characters\/creatures who will give aid in battle with their own style of weapons. As to what the story is about well I will leave that up to you to find as I am finding out now.Criticisms:I only have one. When you hover you arrow mouse over the buildings it would be nice to see the name of the building. I sometimes select the blacksmith when I want the armoury or select the vault thinking it is the armoury. but that is the only quibble.Bottom LineThis is a game is fantastic with its old style look that should appeals to gamers old and young. It has sharp, colourful animated graphics, with good game play, nice sounds\/music etc and once you learn the game mechanics it is very easy to control. A big thank you Spellbind Studios for creating a beautiful looking rogue style game. Score (9\/10). It's a good game for its price. It's not a great game though. It's just a treadmill for the sake of being one. Everything scales to you, so there's never a sense of progression or that your character is getting better. It's very much a resource management game as well; you can only have 5 potions, you have limited spell components, and it takes a turn to switch between items and most spells. It has things that seem neat, but once you realize that it's pointless, they lose their fun. There are shrines and enchanters you can use, but there's no real point to do so because the next dungeon you go in all the loot that drops will just have scaled up numbers so they'll be better. Sure you might have a piece of gear for a few levels, but when you replace it, you won't seem like you've received a great upgrade. It's still going to take you the same number of hits to kill everything because they scale up along with you.You have three stats, but it's not like you can decie how you want to build the character. They don't seem to do anything, and are just there to make you spend them to equip the scaled up thing that just dropped. Putting stats in never actually feels like it helps you out. It's just a resource for you to spend.Speaking of spending, all you do is spend your gold to upgrade your shops to the next scaled up level of gear. So that you can spend your stat points. So that you can kill things in the same number of hits as you were before you leveled up.It's a fun few hours, until you realise how pointless it all is. Play it through once for the story, if you like stories, but it won't ever feel like your character is getting better as you go.. Nice graphical touches, very slick little rogue style game but the gameplay here is fairly straight forward and is a grind. Worth the price for the time it will take to play through the story mode but once that is done it is debatable as to whether you will want to stick with this again. Tactical element here as monsters have different attacks and ways of doing things and obviously forces you to try and find or pick the right strategy to deal with each situation. Fairly simple, good coffee break style game and a game you can dip in and out of. For the price it is recommended but is not a "deep roguelike" - could do with more stuff but definitely worth picking up if you like the genre.. So I am going to recommend this game, but just barely. It is a 5.5\/10 in my opinion.There are several good points. The graphics and animations have a charm to them. The music and sound effects are fitting. The controls are very well presented and easy to understand. The UI was a little large for my taste (I assume to be able to support mobile) but that was not a deal breaker.However there are several points that hold this back. First you are a wizard with extreme limitations on how many spells you can cast. You are also limited in how many runes you can hold, so you can never build up a huge amount of a favorite spell even with grinding. You basically save your spells for the bosses... which means you are really a Rogue WARRIOR not a Rogue Wizard, as you will spend most of your time with axes, bows, chakra's and staffs.Also, switching into a spell takes a whole turn in the turn based combat, which means it is very clunky to try and use your full arsenal. Basically, choose one weapon or one spell, and that is what you will want to stick to for an encounter to limit damage. This is especially true when so many monsters have knockback or stun or portal or summon abilities.The above two issues means that the game quickly becomes very shallow. Good for a few hours of fun at most, but after that the lack of spells and the repetitive nature of the loot and monsters with no compelling end quickly gets old.Buy on sale, if at all.
