About this game
Folly Of The Wizards is a comedic 2D roguelike action game that puts you in the shoes of a clumsy wizard apprentice in a whacky wizarding cult. Explore procedurally generated dungeons, learn unpredictable spells, and battle bizarre enemies—all while trying (and often failing) to save the world from a demon invasion.
Choose from four wizards each with their strengths, weaknesses, and spellcasting quirks. Success demands more than just brute force; you’ll need quick reflexes, clever thinking, and a touch of luck to survive. Keep your wits about you and make the most of the resources bestowed upon you, and you will be fine… probably.
In Folly of the Wizards, your social skills are just as important as your wizardry abilities. Will you befriend the elite wizards and gain powerful allies, or will you stand up against them and face their wrath? With every decision and conversation, you can shape your relationships and alter the course of your adventure.
Each run, build your wizard from a potential pool of 130 relics, tomes and scrolls. Relics provide passive buffs and augments, tomes alter the elemental damage of your basic attacks, and scrolls grant access to powerful spell cooldowns. Keep your eyes peeled for unique interactions and combinations of these boons to reach new levels of power.
In order to repel the demonic invasion, you must ascend through 5 floors from a possible 9 biomes. Every time you will be tested by one of the 22 unique bosses depending on the biome and the affinity choices you have made along the way.
