About Aard and Wyzz: The rise of minions
Aard and Wyzz: The rise of minions is a local cooperative action-adventure video game where two players will take on the role of the boss Ardwiz, a tyrant wizard recently divided in two after the unexpected rebellion of his minions, with a lot of extra hours in his body. These two mages will have to work together, using their magical abilities and strength, as well as merging at certain times to enhance their skills and defeat the senior staff of the office.
Through real-time combat, they will have to use their skills to defeat the enemies and bosses of each department, where strategy and cooperation will be the key to victory.
This local co-op takes place in a magical office tower, making a satire of the classic figure of the all-powerful magician and the corporate power figures of today's world.
At some stages of the game, players will be able to briefly merge into the all-powerful wizard Ardwiz, winner of the best boss award for 200 consecutive years (voted by himself) and professional minion exploiter. The player controlling Aard will be in charge of movement, while the player controlling Wyzz will dominate the ranged attack.
- Aard will be the melee and dynamic movement specialist.
- Wyzz will dominate ranged combat through his magic orb.

"Aard and Wyzz: The rise of minions" is not really a game, it's a demo/advertisement for an as-yet unreleased 2.5D/iso shooter/puzzle game with lightweight RPG elements, but it's not appropriate to talk about the product that this is advertising, because this is not that product (and that product may never even be made). This has some really mediocre looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarly visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. Insultingly, the developer insists that you should play this with a console peasant children's toy gamepad instead of KB+M. Developers should try to be aware which platform they're designing games for. It's the responsibility of the developer to ensure the game runs well on the platform they're selling it on, with the primary peripherals that PC gamers use. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dum…2 found this helpful
