Wizordum is a retro FPS that puts you in the role of a Mage on a quest to track down the source of Chaos. With a wide arsenal of spells and magic items, battle your way through the world of Terrabruma in this unique blend of classic 90s shooters and modern gaming elements.
The game puts players in the role of a mage on a quest to track down the source of Chaos that has shattered the Ancient Seal of Terrabruma. Drawing inspiration from Hexen and Heretic, it blends classic 90s fantasy FPS gameplay with modern design and conveniences.
At the core of the gameplay is a diverse arsenal of magical spells and weapons. Players start with a basic magic mace but soon acquire abilities like a fire spell, ice staff, and shotgun-like blunderbuss. Each weapon has unique attributes, allowing experimentation to find a preferred playstyle.
The sprawling, multi-floor environments encourage thorough exploration, as players hunt for hidden areas, breakable walls, and other secrets. The game strikes a balance, providing clear objective markers on the map while still rewarding extensive investigation of each level.
Combat is fast-paced and challenging, with players facing off against a variety of fantasy enemies like goblins and skeletons. Enemies are intelligently placed, requiring players to utilize their full magical arsenal to overcome them. The difficulty can be adjusted, but even on lower settings, the combat presents a satisfying level of challenge.
Despite the retro-inspired design, the controls and movement feel responsive and intuitive. Players are restricted to a single plane of movement, unable to jump or freely look up and down, but the level design is crafted around this limitation, ensuring a fluid and enjoyable experience.
