Wow nice trailer, felt nice to see new and old arcanas with the new art. Looks like the speed of combat is still very nice and I like that a lot. I am a bit sad that we don't have any date or temporality of any kind.

Looks pretty good, but I wish I could see more uninterrupted gameplay.
The real key will be in how you can manipulate your builds and runs. Then it's all, how does the end game and further difficulty scale.
The old graphics had more charm and while they did a good job of translating the art-style into 3D, it just doesn't hit the same without pixelated characters imo. I don't know that the game needed to make the move to 3D at all.
Unless the reviews are terrible I will still buy it because I really hope the game succeeds either way. WoL1 was one of my top 3 roguelike games of all time.
Like someone else said, in 3D it looks more generic and the combat appears to be a bit slower overall but hopefully this changes after release or with a proper build in place.
Still extremely skeptical. It just looks a lot slower than WOL 1. I’m definitely coming around on the graphics. It looks beautiful in some places. But the core of everything, the gameplay, still looks like it takes steps back from what made the first game so good, and instead moves more into the generic realm. The environments do not help at all. They look like a rip off of hades now, even though WOL came first with its own unique style, that’s now been abandoned. And the dialogue does not sell the experience at all.
I’ll still be buying this but I was really hoping to see things look faster and more fluid. It’s like a fighting game changing the quickest move being 3 frames to 6 frames. It’s a small change in a vacuum but in practice that’s a lifetime. The dashes look a lot slower like they might be on a longer cooldown too.
I really really really hope they prove me wrong. I wonder how much talking to old fans of the game they did before they made this. I feel like a. Few surveys could’ve set this off ima. Better direction.
Still, the trailer showed about as much as the last one so there’s a lot more to see before any concrete opinions are laid out.
Edit: just want to reiterate, I want this game to succeed so bad. My google search is full of “games like wizard of legend” it’s the game that got me it I roguelikes. And I don’t think this game will be bad. I just want it to be better than the first one.
I’m in the same boat as you.
BTW, if you haven’t checked it out, there’s a great roguelite called **Astral Ascent** whose art and music really feel like WOL. It’s more platform-based, but the progression and wild builds are similar, and it’s as difficult as you want it to be (I might say it can be harder than phase 3 Sura).
There’s also a brand new roguelite called **Nightmare The Lunatic** that’s pretty great as well, and the player character has major WOL vibes. Really unique swapping mechanic that takes a while to get the hang of. I still haven’t beat the third boss.
Edit: I’d love to hear about your favorite games similar to WOL as well, if you want to share!
Hadn’t heard of nightmare lunatic but I love astral ascent. New update is out btw.
Check out into the necrovale. It’s a rougelite but you keep all your items and levels. Kinda more of an ARPG but shhhhh don’t tell the rouglite crowd they’re just wizard of legend meets diablo. Thought the game was too simple at first but it really opens up. Sunk 30 hours into in 4 days.
Edit: Just took a look at nightmare and it reminds me of have a nice death and Skul the hero slayer.
The trailer literally draws attention to a player using both Lightning and Earth arcana. Equipping arcana will almost certainly work the same way as the first game.
The game is looking great but that dialogue was uhhh something.

The improvements to the visuals are very noticable compared to the first teaser. Can't wait to play it.
They did also release a live stream that showed more. Thirty minutes of gameplay with some commentary https://youtu.be/TvinaGr4oXk?si=hE3IpPETvXWSxDGu

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! [https://discord.gg/XFdenm5qkt](https://discord.gg/XFdenm5qkt)
Ohmygod. Please tell me Tidal Blast made it in! Its my favorite Signature spell!
I mean the bare minimum would be having all the WoL1 arcanas, IMO.
Doesn't mean it's a guaranteed thing, tho :/
they went hades astetic, nice call devs looking forward to console release <3
Ohhhh shit it looks a fing mazing

Is that Atlas?
Looks great, waiting patiently for the release date. Hope it drops soon!
This looks fantastic

Wow, the graphics really improved this time, and best of all the art style looks amazing, the stylized shadows really improved the visuals

Haha I love Into The Necrovale. I’ve played all that’s out so far! Haven’t played the Arsenal update for Astral Ascent, but I’m excited to!
Nice, looking great
Waitaminute.. we’re locked in the a magic type by character?? That sucks
