Wizzerd Quest 2

Incredible. Game of the year for 2026, just like the first one was game of the year for whatever year it came out. I hope they make a third, it would surely be game of the year for whatever year it comes out as well.

I came across this in my Steam recommendations. I thought I'd give it a try because I love me a small person indie game. Being that this is Wizzerd Quest, I decided to, at the start, play a Wizzerd. There are a couple other classes (Warrior and Rogue) that I didn't bother to try out. I get put into a prison and I need to escape. There's some combat which isn't great. I chalk up the not-great combat to being in close quarters. I get pointed in the direction of the first major place to go, and I go there. In the game's first dungeon, I get a better taste of the combat and it is *not* good. If enemies are hit from a long distance away, many of them will not move at all. Their allies, my fellow enemies, will sit and think "hey, I'M not the one getting fireballed here, that seems like a YOU problem". In the entire first dungeon, I sniped enemies from afar. Fireball. Fireball. Fireball. Over and over and over. There's eventually a lich lord. I fireballed it to death from a distance, and it never did so much as a step in my direction. The first real boss is a golem. You strafe around it. It has one attack: A fireball that spreads into 3 parts. That's it. You just strafe around each other and fireball. Along the way to the dungeon, I had several enemies approach. I was able to consistently fireball, fireball, fireball, until they died and before they touched me. Although I like the fmv charm, the combat is currently too easy to exploit. I haven't found any locations that were interesting to explore (no cool rewards or funny lore, although sample size = 1).

Honestly, as much as it pains me to do this to a 3-man project, I'll have to leave a negative review. I wasn't expecting much but I did enjoy the first game. It was silly, it was compact, it was profoundly dumb with the story and the big evil that you ended up killing with like three attacks. Considering the above, I was expecting more of the same when buying the sequel - and unfortunately it lacks all the charm the free first game had. It's no longer compact and it's far too self-serious (even with the jokes sprinkled here and there). Most of the game is just walking through very empty open areas (really, this is a walking simulator). Play the first one, skip the sequel.

when playing coop, player 2 is surrounded by blindin light. nothig we can do to change that. if we can get help fixing it, i will update my review

The platforming is rough, the controls aren't very tight and sometimes missed button inputs will lead to cheap deaths. Some of the platforms are barely reachable too, like the very first platform in the first dungeon platforming section. I lost a lot of gold to really unfair deaths. And some of the dungeons and bosses are just obnoxious. Like the boss that chases you up the pipe, and the boss that stalks you around the pitch black forest while you search for a bunch of crystals. That's the one that made me stop playing, it was just really annoying.

only one player can play properly

Gameplay is good but co-op SUCKS and i have no good way of knowing where to go next or what my objective should be. both issues aren't major and im exited to see what comes next for the game.

Combination of unresponsive controls, lots of platforming, and no quicksave (or checkpoints) makes this not fun.

I really wanted to like this and did until I reached the Dark forest, there's nothing I hate more than an area with an enemy that can auto kill you and make you restart the entire section. That's the same reason I stopped playing Lunacid when I hit the Labyrinth. It also has smaller issues like the combat just being very basic and the platforming sucking which honestly hardly bothered me. I hope they fix that whole section as I generally enjoyed my time until that point.
