Wizard Tactics Demo

General Introduction

Wizard Tactics is an in-development simultaneous turn-based versus game about lethal wizard battles with physics and element interactions.  The game is currently in closed alpha and not for sale right now, but this is the public demo based on the alpha. It will be occasionally updated, but will not have all of the spells available to use as I add more to the alpha.  If you're interested in the game, please add the full game to a wishlist collection and join the game's Discord server to keep up to date on the game's progress.

How to Play

Currently the game is currently local multiplayer only, so grab another person to play against and give it a whirl!  I've also had some success playing it online using Parsec, although I know installing an app and giving it permissions to remote stream your computer to play a game isn't ideal, so I hope to add online multiplayer at some point in the future.

Everything you need to learn how to play the game is available in game, although I've included more detailed spell / spell effect information below.  If you need any more info, find anything confusing, want to report a bug or give feedback, or want to find people to play against, please make sure you're in the Discord server!  If you have any questions on the development of the game, feel free to check out the tentative roadmap on the full game's page or ask me in the Discord server.

I hope you enjoy the game! (And even if you don't, I would still love to hear your feedback!)

P.S. There's no music or sound effects right now, so no need to mess with your sound settings if you're wondering why the game is quiet. :)
