The Ancient Seal of Terrabruma has shattered, unleashing the forces of Chaos. As one of the last Mages of Wizordum sanctuary, find the source of corruption and blast away spawns of Chaos before they consume the kingdom in a speedrun-friendly fantasy FPS, tearing a page from the spellbooks of ‘90s fantasy FPS classics like Hexen and Heretic.
The Mages of Wizordum are on the brink of extinction, falling to ever-encroaching mayhem outside the sanctuary. Sharpen an arsenal of steel and magic and set out for the Town of Grimbrook, looking for the Source while blasting off everyone standing in the way. Along the way, search nooks and crannies for loot and relics to solve mystifying puzzles and deliver even more damage.
Incapacitate vile ogres and goblins with a skull-crushing mace, shoot rapid-fire ice shards with the Frostweaver, and master the Spellstriker to shatter the concentrated magic upon your foes. Fend off the restless undead and monstrous rats while winding through cobweb-covered hallways, restless cemeteries, sewers, labyrinths, and blood-spattered courtyards full of traps and treasure.
Crumbling cobblestone, incinerated buildings, decay-filled dungeons, and misty harbors full of secrets await fearless spellcasters inside the collapsing city walls of Grimbrook. Claim a spot on the hallowed leaderboard where tougher difficulty levels yield higher scores, and achieve perfect pace on every run with speedrun-friendly level design.
Design and download custom adventures or full-fledged episodes with the in-game level editor. Bask in the original Wizordum soundtrack, coming soon to Apogee Music, inspired by ‘90s and 2000s classics Ultima and Elder Scrolls, with a retro option for Roland MT-32 mode, accompanied by key artwork hand painted by legendary Origin Systems illustrator Denis Loubet (Ultima, Wing Commander).
Wizordum materializes a surprise launch of Episode Two on PC via Steam, with Episode 3 and the 1.0 launch arriving in Winter 2024.
In Episode Two, journey through the shadowy depths of Terrabruma, and purge the evil forces of Chaos across a slew of new locales. Wield fresh firepower added to the last remaining mage’s repertoire, including a new godlike weapon, the addition of alternate fires, a cauldron of consumables, and a new magic system where slaying enemies replenishes spellcasting abilities.
Embody nature’s wild wrath with the Storm Gauntlets, unleashing powerful lightning strikes forking into multiple foes. Adapt to skirmishes with greater flexibility thanks to new alt-fire abilities: reduce goblins to ashes with the Fire Ring’s added short-range flamethrower ability, and manually detonate explosive projectiles with the Spellstriker’s Arcane Rock.
Cleanse mystical forests, mercenary-laden warships, and abandoned ritual grounds of the Chaos-controlled monstrosities lurking within. Avoid the perils of unseen snares like Flame Breathers and Wall Smashers that punish overeager mages that get too close.
Mount vicious, oversized rodents to trample waves of warmongers. Exchange scavenged loot for weapon upgrades, spell enhancements, and stat boosts at the new Sorcerer's Shop. Pick up newly added consumables during battle: chug a Haste Potion and dash past obstacles, or deal damage by flashing through enemies with the new Blink ability. Immobilize nearby foes with Frost Breath, halting all enemy movement within arm’s reach.
In Episode 3, launching this Winter, scale snow-capped mountains before diving into Terrabruma’s molten core where the source of Chaos resides. Three new weapons await, including the Stinger Crossbow, capable of flinging iron bolts through the hearts of multiple enemies with a single shot. Watch every step as falling rocks and volcanic eruptions complicate the trek. Face off against Frost Trolls, Flying Imps and Dark Knights on a quest to eradicate evil once and for all.
"Wizordum’s early access release made a thunderous debut, and we’re pleased to shock our community and newcomers alike with today’s surprise drop of Episode Two," said Primož Vovk, developer at Emberheart Games.
