The gameplay of Wizdom Academy is a mixed bag, showcasing promising management and builder mechanics within a charming visual style, but marred by significant balance issues, bugs, and incomplete features. Players find the gameplay loop initially engaging yet truncated, with unclear objectives and cumbersome UI detracting from the experience. While the game has potential for depth and enjoyment, it requires substantial refinement and bug fixes to fully realize its promise.
- “A very promising management game with great mechanic ideas and beautiful character portraits.”
- “Visually, it’s cohesive and charming, with just the right amount of atmosphere to support the gameplay.”
- “Gameplay: a multi-level settlement builder with the theme of a magical academy.”
- “I wish I could just give you feedback without leaving a bad review, but a lot of the mechanics need fine-tuning and frankly it's not always clear what the player is supposed to do next, and the balancing is way off.”
- “Wizdom Academy is very charming but it suffers from terrible gameplay and a lot of missing features at the moment (e.g. you send out squads to avoid a disaster but no combat takes place and you just click away an annoying placeholder message box).”
- “Unfortunately, it also has the kind of gameplay where I feel that it was not thought out at all, which makes me worry about the future of the game.”
