'Rogue Wizards' Approved On Steam, Shows Off Battlemage - Screens & Trailer

Rogue Wizards is a rogue-like, dungeon-crawling, town-building RPG.

Rogue Wizards invites players to battle creatures, collect loot, master magic, and build a Wizard Tower in a rogue-like, dungeon-crawling, town-building RPG. At the heart of Rogue Wizards’ unique approach to these game genres, lies its dungeon mode. Featuring procedurally generated environments and loot, no two dungeons or weapons will be the same, offering players an incredible amount of re-playability and character progression as they uncover the mystery behind a series of portals appearing in the world. Although combat features a traditional turn-based combat system, fans of the genre will notice a remarkable increase in terms of pacing; battles feel fast and furious while still requiring strategy and planning.

In between rounds of exploring dungeons, slaying creatures, and discovering new loot, players can also look forward to a complex and rewarding Town Building experience at the Wizard Tower. Here, players can enhance and customize the way they play by building a thriving town, brewing their own reagents, crafting and buying their own gear, powering up their magic, and recruiting help in order to further strengthen their Wizard for diving into deeper and more difficult dungeons.

 Rogue Wizards has been approved by Valve for global release on PC via the Steam platform with support from the Steam Greenlight community.

“It’s beyond thrilling to get greenlit on Steam and see such great response to Rogue Wizards, but we are not out of the woods just yet,” says Spellbind Studios Founder Colin Day. “With one week left in our Kickstarter, we really need all the support we can get to make this project a success, so I implore onto the community to please rally and help us spread the word.”

Loot plays an important role in Rogue Wizards as players discover hordes of treasures hidden away in dark dungeons and develop town structures that grant access to a wide array of weapons, artifacts, and gear.  But a deep and engaging loot system wouldn't be complete without an appropriate change of look for the hero. In Rogue Wizards, visual changes in appearance aren't just limited to weapons and shields, but extend to full suits of armor. Even when armed with full plate armor, players can wield any weapon and utilize any spell, making for a particularly deadly combination for enemies unlucky enough to be caught off guard by well geared wizards. 

In development for over a year, Rogue Wizards is recruiting fans looking for a new world building RPG meets dungeon delving experience to help support its ongoing development via Kickstarter, looking for $70,000, that ends on November 11.
