“RIft Wizard is a proper rogue-like, and a very good one, in which decision-making is paramount; knowing your build, threat assessment, spell choice, timing, and positioning are all critical. Hardcore.”

About This Game

Rift Wizard is a tough as nails retro fantasy roguelike emphasizing combat and character building.

You play as an immortal amnesiac wizard who must rebuild his spellbook and slay his rival.

The game consists of 25 randomly generated levels, each filled with procedurally generated challenges that will test your creativity and strategic thinking abilities.

Rift Wizard Features:

Open ended character advancement with deep synergies and spell interactions
Huge library of spells and passive skills to build from
Low randomness, high player agency
Diverse and varied monster design
High difficulty, permadeath, limited resources
Crisp 1990s retro RPG aesthetics

Rift Wizard is inspired by classics such as Nethack, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, Brogue, and Tales of Maj'Eyal, but pushes the genre in a more strategic, combat focused direction. In some ways it is closer to a board game than an RPG. There isn't much plot or exploration in Rift Wizard- just epic wizard battles and deep buildcraft from start to finish.

I'm creating Rift Wizard because I want to push the boundaries of the genre. I want to build a deep and challenging roguelike worth exploring for a thousand hours or more. A game with hundreds of potential strategies to try. A game where each run is a novel and exciting intellectual challenge. A game that inspires the player to be crafty, creative, and brilliant.
