About Wzrds
Wzrds is a horde survival roguelite where you play a wizard battling endless waves of spirits. Developed by Elmok, it launched on November 26, 2025 for PC. The game blends spellcasting, weapon mixing, and item crafting to build unique strategies. You start with basic tools but can combine dozens of items for powerful effects. Each run feels distinct thanks to procedural challenges and permadeath. The focus is on fast-paced combat and creative build design. It’s for players who like high-risk survival loops and experimentation.
Gameplay
You begin each run with a starter wand and a small spellbook. Waves of spirits escalate in difficulty, forcing you to manage resources and positioning. Core gameplay involves equipping spells like fireballs or lightning, then mixing them with weapons (e.g., a frost dagger that slows enemies) and set bonuses (e.g., +20% damage for dual-wielding). Between waves, you scavenge for items that unlock new abilities or synergies. Controls are click-and-cast, with quick hotkeys for spells. Combat is twitchy and chaotic, dodging crowds while juggling cooldowns. Runs last 10, 20 minutes, often ending in sudden death.
What Players Think
Wzrds holds a 4.2/5 on PlayPile, with 72% of players completing at least one full run. Average playtime is 15 hours, though 23% report over 30. Community moods are split: 65% enjoyment but 25% frustration. Reviews praise the "addictive build customization" and "crunchy damage numbers." Critics note "randomness can feel punishing" and "enemy variety drops after wave 30." 84% of players who finish a run say the item synergies are worth the grind. Achievement completion is 68%, with 32% failing due to boss mechanics they called "unforgiving."
PlayPile's Take
Wzrds is a must-play for fans of survival roguelites who don’t mind high difficulty curves. The $29.99 price tag feels justified for the depth of build crafting, though 28% say it’s too punishing for casual sessions. If you enjoy grinding for perfect item combos and thrive under permadeath pressure, this is for you. Skip it if you dislike random loot drops or prefer slower-paced strategy. The 32-achievement list (22% platinum rate) rewards persistence, but expect to restart often.
