The Wizards - Dark Times: Brotherhood

Basically developers just replaced good game with its ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile version. I paid for PCVR experience, and instead got cut game that doesn't match screenshots at all. In steam discussion developers act rude as if we are stupid and its our problem. dont buy their games, save your money and time. i think its been 3 years since they promised to restore graphics to its original look, guess what

Works on Reverb G2. This is a neutral recommendation. New Wizards improves almost every aspect of the original, but playing it in 2026 adds some unexpected drawbacks like downgraded visuals and existence of much better games in the same niche genre like Rumble and Elements Divided. The only thing TW-DT has over those titles is a proper single player campaign. Magical combat here is still fun though: the game does not shy away from challenging encounters that will require player to mix smooth and teleport locomotion with shield blocking to survive. Enemy AI uses movement tracking to calculate projectile trajectory, so it can not be beaten by simple circle strafing. The only time when the difficulty feels too much is during the end of The Rend level, when the game throws at you 2 ice elementals at the same time. Spellcasting is intuitive and satisfying, but it is spoiled a bit by a shoddy gesture recognition. I summoned fireball instead of a shield way too many times. TW1 had the same problem, it should not have been too hard to solve, since Rumble and ED do not suffer from it, while having a lot more spell combinations. Another weird issue is abundance of visual impairment effe…

this game is good but it is dead af if you want to play multiplayer, you can basically give up on that idea

Campaign is good but relatively short, very solid graphics, I wish there was more spell variation and it was a bit more diverse, it's pretty much wave after wave of travelling through the land and killing the same kind of enemies, with one major bossfight at the end. THE MULTIPLAYER IS ♥♥♥♥. The graphics are hugely reduced with no way to turn them up, and the spell graphics are unrefined and cheap looking. Gameplay and functionality is fine, but it's so frustrating the devs (respectfully) can't get off their arses and give us access to graphics that are already in the game. The multiplayer graphics on the screenshots of the store page is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The campaign is accurate.

Valve index for VR setup. No issues running the game, just an issue with the controllers being ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I play a good amount of VR and have no issues, but for some reason i can only summon a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fireball in this. Should've added more restriction on hand movements for casting. apparently these problems have been for years tho

Well. It's literally unplayable. When I go to get the fire core, my map looks completely different from any walkthrough I can find. It DOES NOT load the boss fight for the fire core. Not cool........
