this has been my main hating point for this game. They took too much inspiration from hades and ignored some of the gameplay loop from the first game. 1 thing I've noticed is just how freedom that they stripped away from us. We're given random starting relics, we're sometimes given random arcana, and it's just too linear like he mentions in the video. I loved being able to run through the maps maze like walls, learning the layout and how to look for certain rooms on the map. I loved how shops had everything layed out and I didn't have to come to a full stop to open a menu to look at the items. I loved how the enemies didn't tell me where their attacks were going (unless it was a ranger), they just hit me. This game feels too easy compared to the first. But the thing is, is that it's still not easy, not because the enemies are super hard to dodge. Or that I need to learn their patters. No. They start you with 150 health and make you upgrade it the more you play. Wizard of Legend is a rogue-like not a rogue-lite. You get stronger between runs by learning how to play the game better, not by buying health or stat upgrades to make your character better. WoL was a game you are fully capable of beating on your first run if you understood the game, but this "sequel" makes that feel almost impossible by stripping you down, just to offer you a bit of help once you already lost. This isn't a WoL sequel it's a WoL mod for hades
@@Ar0474 you sound pretty young based on the inexperience in your comment. in the past a lot of lower budget games would mimic looks of bigger titles to confuse parents and grandparents into buying what they think is the "big thing" the kids are talking about. Mostly marketing leech tactics.
My biggest request is a separate Hood and Cape. Part 1 let you choose robes with ~2 perks. If I could choose a cape and a hood, I could arrange my own perks!
How did they take WoL and give it to the studio that made the beautiful Children of Morta and decide to make it look like Magicka 2? Where's the dash arcana?
Dident think about that one, feels like everything is watered down. Also get the feeling that many options we had before are integrated into the uppgrade system which feels like a loss so far. The dash arcana is an item now unfortunently if im not mistaken.
@@Gumpinn The watering down of the Wizard of legend sequel is the fundamental mistake that creates the sequel curse -" The second installment of a series is usually doomed to fail"
@@bojidarvladev4890 Very true, wizqrd of legends must be one of the worst games to make a sequel for. It is loved by many as the best pixel wizard game. And the vision they had for the forst game realy is something they made it what it can be with the tools they had. Making a sequel without the original vision youst becomes a copy of the original game. I have no hopes they will deliver with this game since it is such a great task its hard to achieve.
I think fire Arcana look a lot better in WoL 1, but the water Arcana in this game are just incredible. Definitely different strengths and weaknesses between the art styles.
Theres not even room for comparison. every Arcana ive used in the demo has felt flat and lifeless. Shock assault in the first game was a full rush using. in this is barely a kick step
@trebot9292266 eh, I think there's a lot of Arcana that are fun to use. Shock assault looks pretty, which is my only real comment on it. It was one of my favorites in WoL 1 too, and it definitely feels better in 1 too, but it's prettier in 2.
While the visuals look good, it also looks like they're trying to confuse old ladies who want to buy their grandkids Hades 2.

What grandparent would be going into someone's digital storefront to buy their kid a digital game? 😂

the dash arcana is some sort of relic now

Also an example of a failed sequel is DMC2 . And an example of a successful sequel is the elder scrolls 2 daggerfall

Gameplay is great and got me hooked. A lot of it reminds me a lot of hades. The voice acting and dialogues, the visuals and the overall feel.
Hi parks, did you hear? silksong is releasing tomorrow
Oh I've heard that, yeah
some people say that until now ,this game feels like a slower Hade. do you agree?
The visuals look good, but I prefer 2D, idk 2D spells looks better

First 1 my fave . I’m loving the demo and playing both like separate games .
if im going to be completely honest this game genuinely feels like the first game but worse with a coat of hades themed paint on it
huge Hades influence there in the new artstyle
i dont like the removal of dash arcana and i dont like the relics they arent as cool
this is pretty good
This sounds like a paid ad for the game. There's no way someone managed to have fun in this soulless Hades clone.
I wish I made money lmao, I just had fun is all. Sounds weird because I wrote a script and just kinda read it.
I find the character animations incredibly bland and clunky
Its really not
