About CastingPlz

CastingPlz is a 2-player cooperative roguelike game where players take on the roles of two characters with distinct responsibilities: one for attacking and the other for movement.

\
In the past, a Grand Wizard sealed away the monsters that roamed the world and restored peace by imprisoning them in a massive labyrinth.

During this time of peace, a rumor began to circulate worldwide: "In the deepest part of the labyrinth, the Grand Wizard grants any wish."

The source of this rumor is uncertain, but people from all walks of life are heading to the Grand Wizard's labyrinth, each with their own dreams.

\
The labyrinth is inhabited by sealed monsters that have formed their own ecosystems over a long period, establishing rules to live by.

As you conquer the ever-changing labyrinth one step at a time, delve deeper, uncover its secrets, and progress to lower, more profound levels.

\
The monsters trapped by the Grand Wizard are determined to eliminate newcomers who intrude into their ecosystems.

Defeat the advancing monsters to conquer the labyrinth, but don't get too comfortable. As you venture deeper into the labyrinth, more powerful monsters await you.

\
You must choose to play as either a Soldier or a wizard, with the game roles divided to the extreme. You will need to cooperate with each other to embark on your adventure.

Soldier:

High mobility
Low combat power

Wizard:

Powerful magic
Limited mobility
To achieve your dreams, you must save your partner and approach your own aspirations.

\
As you progress through the labyrinth, defeat monsters using various spells and acquire diverse items to grow and potentially expedite the conquest of the labyrinth.

"CastingPlz" is a poorly made, objectively failed 2D retro pixel top down co-op shooter. What do you do in the game? The gimmick in this shooter is that one player moves and the other player shoots. Is this a good idea? No. Is this fun? No. Is any of that enough to overcome the godawful pixelcrap "art"? No. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on. Instead, they decided that "Procgen IS content!" and lazily tried to use procgen algorithms to create infinite, samey, repetitive, soulless levels, because that's a lot less work. As a result of this poor decision, the game gets tired and r…

It's a fun roguelike, and it looks nice visually. The death animation was heart wrenching. But it's pretty difficult. There are a lot of magic options that are given right at the start without getting to know the abilities. It also has some very glaring typos at the menu. If you learn the spells though, could be a really fun game.

Just finished my first playtrough with a friend, might be one of the funniest game ever, the only thing is the remote play is a bit laggy for us but it doesn't stop me from playing it over again, I hope to see more from Ludens or even maybe seeing this game go viral and getting more added to, it would be amazing, great work.

Nice simple rogue game, not too hard to remap mouse and keyboard to play solo which is fun too, really wish there was more, i had a blast! I would pay a couple bucks for a longer, richer game.

[h1] 영창하세요 마법사님 [/h1] [h3] Pros: [/h3] [b]🌈 Enchanting Visuals [/b] The art style of 영창하세요 마법사님 is absolutely charming, with vibrant colors and whimsical details that make it feel like you’re playing inside a magical painting. It’s a treat for the eyes, pulling you into a fairy-tale world that feels alive and beautiful. 🖼️🎨 [b]🎶 Soothing Soundtrack [/b] The music is magical, creating a calm and enchanting atmosphere that perfectly complements the visuals. It’s like a lullaby that guides you through the wizard’s journey, making each moment feel cozy and special. 🎵🧙‍♂️ [h3] Cons: [/h3] [b]🐌 Slow Gameplay [/b] The game’s pace is incredibly sluggish, making it difficult to stay engaged. Progress feels slow, and the gameplay quickly becomes repetitive, turning what should be a thrilling wizard adventure into a drag. 💤🕒 [b]📜 Shallow Story [/b] While the game sets up an interesting world, the story never really takes off. It feels like a collection of side quests without a compelling narrative to drive you forward, leaving the experience feeling flat and unexciting. 📖❌ [h3] Other Drawbacks: [/h3] [b]⚔️ Repetitive Combat [/b] The combat system is basic and lacks variety,…
