Extremely bland and boring. There is no character development, and the "characters" are all extremely shallow with next to no interactions being available. It is no exaggeration to say that the "characters" are only mannequins with names, that's it. It is also in no way, shape, or form an RPG because it forces you to focus on things that wouldn't fit the "wizard" you're going for. For example, want to feel like an evil necromancer? Too bad, as being evil has no real consequences and the game doesn't ever branch off into slightly different paths to make it feel like your choices meant anything. Honestly, it's probably one of the worst text-based games I've played.5 found this helpful
it's okay? but didn't hook me too much. there's a lot of intractability and skills, but it never leads to anything meaningful. can't recommend this one.1 found this helpful
"Life of a Wizard" felt rushed. While not terrible, the story is told from the perspective of an older you, and each recollection happens very quickly. You never have time to care all that much about anyone, and each event is over so fast it barely feels like it had time to get started. For example, you fight a dragon and get back home in just a few minutes worth of reading. And yet, the game has many exciting skills and plenty of choices that use these skills to great effect, so while I don’t think the game is all that great, it doesn’t deserve a negative review. It’s fun for a playthrough or two. (5/10)1 found this helpful
Genuinely amazing. I've played for about 70 hours and there are still options I haven't chosen / unlocked. Can't remember how much this game cost, but it was worth every penny.
I won't say this story is bad. It's not bad, but it is lacking. The choices don't feel important, the story doesn't really branch a lot. It's a story I'd read through once, but would not feel inclined to go through multiple times. It's not too expensive, so if you want to give it a try go for it, but don't have your expectations too high.
Life of a Wizard, You should pick this one up. 3 bucks is cheap and the story within while a little short is a classic RPG adventure. What skills you choose to invest in matter and each playthough will be diffrent depending on what you pick and the choises you make also effect your skills and personality. How will your life as a wizard turn out? The choice is yours.
