  • The game has a charming retro aesthetic and nostalgic feel, successfully capturing the vibe of classic 90s first-person RPGs like Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall.
  • Gameplay is simple, fun, and accessible, with enjoyable exploration, a good story, funny NPC dialogue, and decent combat that remains satisfying despite its simplicity.
  • The game offers cooperative local multiplayer, supporting controller play, and delivers a fulfilling short adventure experience for free with active ongoing development including a sequel.
  • The camera controls are limited, notably lacking vertical look which complicates platforming and leads to frustrating falls, and the camera speed setting does not save between loads.
  • UI and inventory management are clunky, including poorly designed inventory scrolling and a lack of effective map features such as player position indicators or waypoints, which can make navigation confusing.
  • Technical issues include occasional graphical problems on some systems, buggy co-op implementation with sound and controls issues, repetitive combat with enemies having simplistic AI, and an overall rough polish typical of a solo dev project.

    Wizzerd Quest offers a short but engaging story that blends silly parody with occasional serious moments, delivering a nostalgic, old-school RPG vibe inspired by Elder Scrolls. The narrative is simple yet compelling, emphasizing exploration and quest progression through NPC hints rather than explicit guidance. Overall, it provides a fun, well-crafted lore experience that fans eagerly anticipate expanding in the upcoming Wizzerd Quest 2.

    • “Great game surprisingly fun and well crafted story.”
    • “Wizzerd Quest is very silly and NPCs often say hilarious parody-filled lines, but it's not afraid to delve into the serious side every now and again during the story.”
    • “It was a game that had a gripping story that kept me curious and wanting to see the end, to find out the fate of the wizzerds and what force could push them to such a fate.”
    • “I accidentally skipped the starting story, so I had no idea where to go for like half an hour.”
    • “If you venture around too much you might skip parts of the plot dialogue.”
    • “It's a bit strange how quest items don't appear in the relevant dungeon until you have the quest.”

  • gameplay

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Fans of retro RPGs may appreciate its old-school style and potential for future expansion.

    • “As for the good, the gameplay is simple and easy to follow, the stats make sense and leveling is never wasted or unclear, the writing is enjoyable, and the plot manages to feel more involved than it ever really needed to for such a taster of a game.”
    • “You are sent by the emperor in order to investigate troubling events in the land of Wayward in Wizzerd Quest, a retro first-person RPG that evokes the visual style and gameplay of Bethesda Studios' Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, albeit on a much smaller scale.”
    • “The gameplay of Wizzerd Quest indeed mimics the technical mechanics of Daggerfall and early FPS games such as Wolfenstein 3D.”
    • “Mage gameplay would probably be slow-paced as you have to wait so long for regeneration.”
    • “Gameplay and exploration overall is very simple, about as simple as Skyrim or more so, so it's not going to 'wow' you but it has some really good charm to it.”
    • “Having grown up with these games, I didn't mind many of the archaic mechanics but some of them were more tolerable than others.”
