Contingent99 uses the museum setting to its fullest, in that the player is introduced to not only the gameplay mechanics, such as the nuances of combat, but also a sizable chunk of story elements, lore, and even the occasional funny snippet of writing that peppers the beginning of the game, giving Wizard of Legend a real sense of place and personality.
Essentially, magic is normalized in the world of Wizard of Legend thanks to the prevalence of something known as the Chaos Trials, in addition to the use of the arcana by the Council of Magic. The Lanovian Council of Magic consists of three powerful wizards, each representing one of the core elements, including fire, ice and earth. The Council members also happen to be the creators of the Chaos Trials, a deadly and challenging test that exists in order to seek out the mightiest of magic-wielding wizards.
Things get very Disney as the player is transported to the main rest area of Wizard of Legend after the intro section is complete. Just like the museum of Lanova, the rest area is filled to the brim with detail. Animated and talkative furniture reminiscent of classics such as Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and perhaps most fitting of all, Fantasia, all help bring the room to life (quite literally) while further strengthening the charm of the game. The music in Wizard of Legend also does an excellent job of conveying the mood of each area in the game, like the rest area that features a really upbeat and cheery melody, which is a stark contrast to the heavier and more intense tunes found in places such as the boss room or PVP arenas.
Equippable items are where Wizard of Legend truly shines. The game features over 200 pieces of equippable gear, broken down into two main categories, starting with relics, which basically act as gear that augments your player character in a passive fashion. Some interesting and stand-out examples include a dark katana, which triples critical attack rates for all melee arcana spells, a friendship bracelet that increases damage and movement speed when playing co-op, and finally, a spirit that has a chance of freezing enemies in their tracks.
Arcana, on the other hand, give the player a bevy of interesting and often visually appealing attacks that can be equipped to any of the four face buttons of the switch Joycon or Pro controller pad. Arcana spells are really the main draw of Wizard of Legend, with dozens of arcana spells to collect, rearrange, level up, and tweak, and really give the game longevity and a reason to come back.
Signature moves are basically special attacks that have a cooldown of several seconds but deal massive damage and can be powered up by saving them until the end of a combo. One of my favourite arcana spells I found during my time with the game would have to be Cyclone Boomerang, a powerful signature move that creates blade-like wisps of air that when charged up can easily clear a room.
Dungeons themselves are broken down into three zones consisting of two levels each with a boss and a final boss room featuring one of the three Council members. Dungeons are randomly generated, meaning that in one playthrough players might encounter the fire area first, but in another, start with the ice dungeon. This can get frustrating at times, especially when you take the time to equip yourself with gear that caters to a specific level only to not have that level immediately available.

Wizard of Legend, the isometric dungeon crawler that we said "is probably the closest we're ever going to get to a good Avatar: The Last Airbender game," was a hit, selling more than 500,000 copies shortly after it launched in 2018. Now a sequel is on the way, revealed today by publisher Humble Games as "an entirely new" experience being developed by Children of Morta studio Dead Mage.
Dead Mage is "a perfect fit for what we want to do with the Wizard of Legend franchise," Humble head of content strategy Becky Sayers said during today's showcase. "Players are going to experience the same beloved charm from the original game, but this time with improved 3D graphics, an expanded storyline, and even online multiplayer"
"In continued collaboration with Contingent 99, the original creators of Wizard of Legend, we are bringing you an entirely new, exciting experience, which is authentic to everything the fans loved about the first game," Dead Mage lead designer Javid Najibzadeh said. "This time in 3D with a new multiplayer mode, which you can enjoy and share your adventures with your friends."
As good as Wizard of Legend is, I'm especially eager to see what Dead Mage does with it: Children of Morta is an excellent roguelike but it also tells a really good story, and it'll be very interesting to see what sort of narrative ideas the studio brings to this new game, especially with the co-op multiplayer option.

MMORPGs are large multi-user games that take place in perpetual online worlds with a great number of other players. In most MMORPGs each player controls an avatar that interacts with other players, completes tasks to gain experience, and acquires items. MMORPGs use a wide range of business models, from free of charge, free with microtransactions, advertise funded, to various kinds of payment plans. Most early MMORPGs were text-based and web browser-based, later 2D, isometric, side-scrolling and 3D games emerged, including on video game consoles and mobile phones.
Part of a miscellany of serious thoughts, animal gifs, and anecdotage from the realm of MOBAs/hero brawlers/lane-pushers/ARTS/tactical wizard-em-ups. One day Pip might even tell you the story of how she bumped into Na'Vi's Dendi at a dessert buffet cart.
Dota 2 started life not as a Valve property but as a part of Blizzard's gaming scene. Not even in Warcraft 3 but StarCraft where a player-created map called Aeon of Strife ignored base building in favour of using a selection of hero units to push lanes against an enemy AI. This StarCraft map then got remade in Warcraft 3 using that game's assets as Defence of the Ancients. It was then maintained and tweaked over the years by the stewards of DotA and its popular variant, DotA: All Stars. Eventually Valve hired mod developer IceFrog and acquired the rights to produce Dota 2 (although the process was not without a spot of legal wrangling over the trademark 'Dota' and a heap of copyright-related tweaks).
There is actually some real in-game lore which attempts to explain what you're doing with regard to protecting or destroying these Ancients. It's hidden away in the Archronicus; a collection of short stories you'll unlock in the tutorial section. The Mad Moon and the Ancients tells the story of warring ancient intelligences trapped in a glowing moon. Eventually the moon shatters and the shards which fall to earth turn out to have separated into either pure Radiant or pure Dire form. Those nearby become dependent on the shards' energy and develop strange powers. Eventually the influence of the shards spreads sufficiently that it encounters its opposite and causes conflict.
