Wizard of Legend recently got announced and while the trailer has us at the edge of our seats, the true thrill comes from the description and the reveal trailer alone which paint this game as a splendid masterpiece in gameplay, design, and graphic.
While you can hear it better from the developers as they talk about the game in the latest PlayStation Blog:
The dev team of Contingent99 is two high school friends who decided to tackle gamedev co-op style. The two are big fans of action and fighting games, so they’ve made fluid combat the main focus of the game. Think of Wizard of Legend as a pixelated hybrid of Devil May Cry or Bayonetta style hack-and-slash with Street Fighter combos and super moves.
Combat in Wizard of Legend revolves around using magical spell cards known as arcana. Each arcana is unleashed with a simple button press. Unleashing them in quick succession to create a combo will become second nature, as you navigate through the challenges of the Chaos Trials. While you begin the game with just a handful of your favorite arcana, you’ll quickly discover more as you progress, boosting your hand and allowing you to pull off longer, more devastating spell combos.
With over 100 different arcana to find and master, there are countless combinations of starting hands to suit your playstyle. In addition, you can equip magical outfits and relics that have a wide variety of effects, ranging from summoning helpful familiars, to raining down lightning on all enemies in the area. Each run through the trials will allow you to permanently unlock additional tools that will help you achieve victory, and shopkeepers will help you even further with the different currencies you collect.
Along with that, here is a mesmerizing trailer for the game that is sure to cast a spell on you.
It is worth mentioning that this envelops all the major platforms, but it is worth mentioning that this would perhaps look the best on the switch due to the matching pixel art and the portability of the console.
You can expect Wizard of Legend to cast a spell on you in Early 2018 and will release on the PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and the Xbox One.
