Blurb
A classical RPG that can be played in just 15 minutes per round!
“Wizlite” is a nostalgic yet new RPG that combines the combat of traditional command battles with the popular roguelite system.
You’ll find yourself sweating over battles and unlocking treasure chests, deliberating whether to advance or take a rest while checking your remaining health and spell count. Enjoy the tension similar to the classical RPG masterpiece “Wizardry”, but with the crisp and speedy feel unique to roguelites.
Gameplay Flow:
- First, create your character! Choose a race like humans or elves, allocate bonus points to parameters, select a class (profession) and personality, and finally, decide on a name to create your character. Too much hassle? Of course, default characters are also available.
- Form a party of up to six characters and start your adventure! That’s what you’d want to do, but initially, there are restrictions on the number of characters you can organize. Play repeatedly to unlock various “relics” and gradually increase what you can do.
- The dungeon consists of multiple floors, and players control their party to slowly progress towards defeating the final boss that dwells on the lowest level. You can choose your next action on each floor from three cards, but the card you want may not always be an option.
- If all party members become incapacitated, it’s game over. In this roguelite game, if you’re wiped out, everything essentially resets. All characters’ levels return to 1, and any equipment obtained is lost. However, you can make gradual progress by using certain relics and special events.
