An Amazing Wizard: Prologue News

Spell Merge Master Tips

Hello!
First of all, thank you for playing An Amazing Wizard. This has been our passion project for nearly 5 years, and we’re thrilled to have you onboard.

[h3]🔻🔻🔻We need your help!🔻🔻🔻[/h3]

Join us for a feedback interview about An Amazing Wizard and help shape its future!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[h2]Top Merge Combos[/h2]
While you’re free to experiment with Spell Merging, we’ve noticed some combinations can feel unintuitive. Here are a few ideas to help beginners get started:

Crowd Control:
Merge [Gravity Zone] into a projectile spell like [Fireball]. Then, combine this with an AoE or Wall-type spell to maximize damage.


Spell Rain:
Sacrifice AoE like [Fire Rain] into Projectile like [Cosmic Ice]. Sacrifice the combo into AoE like [Fire Rain] again. Sacrifice the combo into Projectile like [Cosmic Ice] again.


Empowered Summons:
Merge offensive spells like [Ice Wave] or [Electric Blade] into a summon, allowing the summon to cast them when it attacks.


[h2]Advanced Tips[/h2]
  • You can summon the Spellweaver at any time by [right-clicking] the crystal he gave you from your inventory.
  • Merging the same spell will strengthen it without taking up additional Merge Slots (dots).
  • Enchantments will occupy your Merge Slots.
  • More powerful spells (indicated by a grade of +/- number) consume more mana, meaning merged spells will also cost more. But no change in the cooldowns,


Prologue Secret Features not Visible at 1st sight

Hello, everyone!
I read through your reviews and feedback on other platforms.
So far, I see there are the following issues that we will see how to fix:
- Unbreakable chests & walls
- Issues with Chinese localization
- Run progression balance
- No Build interconnection between artifacts, spells, level-ups
- Basic spell too weak? (Just nerfed it because nobody was using Special Spells...)
- No Effect combos like fire+poison=explosion (That is a brand new layer of meta...)
- Gravity Zone is bad

If you have not left a review yet, today is the day 😉

[h2]SECRET FEATURE 1: Auto Aiming
- Must have for controllers -[/h2]
Accessibility >> Aiming >> Auto
POOF! And you don't need to fight with the R-stick!


[h2]SECRET FEATURE 2: 1st Difficulty
- Enemies evolved -[/h2]
Usual mobs on the 0 Difficult are dumb. If you want more clever enemy AI, choose difficulty #1.
Mob Thunder Spirit will learn to shoot in XY axis and summon clones, like his Elite version in Diff #0.
Also~ You could only find elites on Diff #1.


[h2]SECRET FEATURE 3: Meta Unlocks
- Take those spells with you -[/h2]
When for the 1st time you unlock items from Artifact Smelter, Weapon Smith, or Spell Warlock, you can take items to the run. It is done so you can test the thing you unlock right away!

Prologue is LIVE!

Thank you for taking the time to play the game! We would really appreciate it if you could leave a review.

Leaving review will:
  • Boost Steam algorithms to show the game to more people
  • Let us know what we should improve and what is already good
What is An Amazing Wizard?

For us, it is a passion project we worked on for four years in our free time after daily jobs.
For you, it is a side-scroller where you hit very different monsters by casting spells in their faces : )

To be more precise, An Amazing Wizard is a fast-paced metroidvania-like 2D hand-drawn pixel art game where you Create your own Spells to fight enemies. in this FREE Prologue demo you could:
  • Fight using 60 Spells and a dozen melee weapons
  • Enchant with Spells and Weapons 100 special effect
  • Collect 120 Artifacts
  • Level up to choose from 100 upgrades in different rarities
  • Merge spells up to 4 times to set an order of effects
What is Spell Merging? How does it work?

By MERGING spells, you set rules for the trigger and order. It is a bit like in Bio Prototype or Magicraft, but with the catch:
[h3]Order: Spells activate simultaneously with the 1st spell, One after another, or in groups[/h3]

[h3]Here is an example of SIMULTANEOUS + GROUP Merge:[/h3]
BEFORE
  • Icicle shoots few projectiles in rapid progression
  • Fireball is strong and ignites enemies
  • Friendly Fire orbits around you
MERGE
  1. Friendly Fire into Fireball >> Friendly Fire orbits around Fireball
  2. Merged spell into Icicle >> Fireball with Friendly Fire shoots together with Icicle projectile


[h3]Trigger: Spells are activated according to the Main/Sacrifice spell type: on hit, on cast, during the active phase[/h3]
[h3]Tornado-type Spells vs other types:[/h3]
  • Zone-type spells will cast several Tornados in different directions
  • Bomb-type will cast a few Tornados on hit / destruction
  • Projectile-type will cast Tornados upon launch
What is the size of the content in Prologue?
  • Play as wizards of 5 elements
  • Experience the Ancient Desert and The Hell with 2 difficulties
  • Fight mobs, mini-bosses, and epic world lords
  • A couple of dozen unique enemies stand before you and victory

[h3]What is An Amazing Wizard?[/h3]
An Amazing Wizard is a 2D fast-paced metroidvania-inspired spell-slinging combat RPG game with detailed pixel art. You play as a wizard from legend, wielding the magic of 7 elements cast by mysterious hands. Enchant your spells and melee weapons, defeat enemies to level up and choose from 250 perks. Discover and equip 250 artifacts, and merge 100 unique spells in any desired order. Collect your lost memories and uncover the hidden truth about this world.

[h3]New to the Free Prologue![/h3]
We've added Spell Merge. You can now take spells to the Spellweaver and merge them up to 5 times. Here's an example:

Lesser Fireball: A magic ball that sets the enemy on fire:


✨MERGE TIME!✨


Cast Gravity Zone that catches the enemy in place upon Fireball impact:


Explore the new Ancient Desert world, a brand-new map with new enemies like thunder spirits that duplicate near you and mummies that strike from afar with extending bandages.

We've also revamped the UI for the Bestiary to make hunting more intuitive. And there are 2 new bosses and new elites that were not present in the previous demo.
