Void Wizard

cool game, wish it had levels instead of just being endless mode

I had a great time with Void Wizard, which is a voxel-based roguelike first-person shooter with fantasy themes. Fantasy has a long and storied history in the FPS genre, going all the way back to games like Catacomb and Heretic. Void Wizard sits directly in that lineage, but merges it with a roguelike structure. What I found refreshing is that, unlike a lot of roguelikes, it does not feel like a game of chance. The overall dungeon layout is procedurally assembled, but the rooms themselves are hand-designed. You never know which room you are going to get or how it is placed, but once you walk in, you can read it. You can tell how it is going to play out. That matters, because a lot of criticism of roguelikes is that they feel luck-driven instead of skill-driven. Void Wizard feels skill-driven. The runs are short, fast, and closer to an arcade FPS with looping difficulty than a long-form progression game. You clear two main levels, fight a boss, and then the game loops back to the start with higher enemy density. At that point it becomes more about execution and score chasing than builds. The combat is excellent. There is a strong emphasis on movement. You are dodging projectiles…

Very fun, thank you.

Great game, not much to say really. It's simple and good
