Fireball Wizard

オーソドックスでシンプルなレトロ2Dアクションゲーム 魔物が大量発生したので魔法使いが倒していくストーリー といってもほぼストーリーはないようなものです 全40ステージあるステージを杖と魔法を駆使して突き進んでいきます 収集要素もあるので細かい所も目を向けていく必要があります [spoiler]隠し部屋はいいけど、食べ物回収は蛇足な気が…[/spoiler] [h3]良い所[/h3] [b]短時間で比較的簡単にクリアできるステージ[/b] 後半からは少し難しい場面があるも難なくクリアできました ボスも溜め攻撃を続ければすぐに倒せます [h3]気になる所[/h3] [b]実績解除はやや大変[/b] 基本的にステージを攻略すれば実績は埋まります 隠し部屋もガイドにのっているので把握できます ただ、特定のモンスター一定数の討伐は些か骨が折れました 自分は「Werwolves」(2ステージ目の中間あたり)と「Reaper Bats」（3ステージ目中間あたり、3ステージボスではカウントされない？）を最後まで残してしまいました どうせならクリア後にモンスターハウスとか配備してほしかったですね [b]崩れる足場は復活しないこともある[/b] リトライしたり再スタートすれば足場は大体直るのですが少し戻るだけだと足場が復活しません なぜ時間経過で復活させなかったのでしょうか [h3]最後に[/h3] 正直アクションゲームとして目新しさは感じませんでした それでも安値で快適に遊べるのでおすすめできます

A fun, frantic, retro style platformer, full of challenge and charm. Straightforward controls, cool upgrades and powers that you unlock at a consistent rate as you progress through the levels and worlds. There are secret rooms to find new cosmetics and cash which you can use to upgrade your power. The pixel art style is great and brings back a lot of nostalgia for the glory days of 90's gaming. My favourite thing is probably the enemies, as they are all very characterful and challenging, each with unique attacks. The bosses are tough to beat but very rewarding when you do as you unlock new spells which can be used quite tactically and mix up the play style. Overall a super fun indie game, made by a two man development team who clearly have a lot of passion for their game. A definite recommend.

This game is a bit difficult for me, but it is definitely fun.

A fun action game where you blast enemies with a staff that can be easily mistaken for a machine-gun. You start by choosing a boy or a girl wizard. This is irrelevant because it is essentially just an aesthetic change with no effect on gameplay. To cut a long story short, an evil is on its way to destroy the entire world, and you are the only one who can stop it. The game is comparable to the run-and-gun genre in certain ways. You can cast fireballs from your staff with no restrictions and at a high rate. If you hold the button down for a few seconds, you will be able to launch a larger fireball that can destroy a whole row of foes. Despite the "fireball" title, the wizard is capable of casting other spells. Spells are also employed to destroy unique blocks that stand in your way. You start with only the freeze spell, but extra spells are unlocked as you advance through the game. These take some time to charge, so this can turn into a slight annoyance when you have to use several spells in a row. The stages are played in a linear order and entered through doors inside castles. They are rather short and repetitive, with a lot of spell casting and light platforming. The objective is always to get to the exit door. The reward is a small mini-game that, if completed successfully, awards you with a nice bundle of coins. While the wizard can endure three enemy strikes, most hazards, such as pools of poison or moving spikes, result in swift death. But there’s no need to worry because you won't lose anything. Every coin or chest you collect is yours to keep even after death. Because there are no checkpoints, the only thing you lose is time. If you have a hard time with a certain stage, you’ll even get a visit from a character that doubles the amount of your health for 10 coins. Each stage has one fake wall with a hidden secret. It’s usually just a chest of coins and an NPC with something to say. It's merely a single line and doesn't add anything to the game's backstory, but it's a nice touch nonetheless. A secret will occasionally hide another fake wall, leading to a new costume for your characters or an easter egg. When a secret is discovered, the door's number turns gold. However, not all of the game’s secrets are marked this way. Coins are used to purchase a more powerful staff. The upgrade is straightforward because all you gain is increased damage and faster charge-up. On the other hand, you don't really need anything else. The shop is located in the game's hub, which does not have much to offer. Apart from the store and various castles with stages, the hub only features a costume shop and an arcade where you can play three games to gain extra cash.

I was a little hesitant to get this game BUT it's not too hard / not too easy.

Awesome game! You play as a wizard making your way through differently themed worlds and dungeons, fighting big bad bosses at the end of each. It's got the feel of a classic platformer - you kill baddies who get harder and more interesting as the game progresses, unlock new powers and spells, collect coins to upgrade yourself, and find secret chambers for extra cosmetics and loot. The PC version is even better than on mobile as it has full gamepad support which is the best way to play it imo. The small development team seems to be very active and responsive on Discord, and has already pushed out a few hotfixes and is entertaining the idea of more content. Definitely worth the price.

A pretty solid, short platformer. Fire magic at enemies, collect coins, find secrets. Controls work fine, there is a bit of humor and the game is self aware. On sale, it is definitely worth a try if you like platformers.

Meh, very marginal recommend Overall rating 6/10 This is a very half-baked 2D platformer. You can get 100% achievements in about 3 hours or less (my displayed playtime is innacurate, as I left the steam deck to sleep.) Works best with on a steam deck or controller. Mediocre and simplistic game play, but I will give it a marginal thumbs up based upon its charming graphics and cheap price. Just know what you are getting into.

Honestly I have put very little time into at the moment of this review. But I don't think that is a big problem because we aren't talking about a big name deluxe edition $116 game here. I got it for less than $4, and I feel like if I stopped right now, then I already got my money's worth out of it. Even at full price of $7 I'd feel that way. But I am not going to stop. If you are a retro fan, and remember the NES and SNES days well (or when Duke Nukem was still 2D or Commander Keen), I recommend really considering this game. It looks like a low budget pass up (at least that was my first opinion), but it turns out to have some charm to it that lots of these games miss. And it is a whole lot of fun too.....which is the most important aspect of any game. Just go into it knowing you aren't getting Final Fantasy 16-2, but instead something like Captian Comic or super old Contra in looks....with a whole lot of fun.

A pretty fun and simple arcade style game. I really enjoyed playing it although some of the secrets may be too hard without guides. I think Fireball Wizard deserves some more recognition. You can tell that the developers had passion for the game.
