About Wizlite
Wizlite combines nostalgic turn-based RPG combat with dynamic roguelite elements to create a fast-paced, strategic die-and-retry game.
Key Features

Major UI and Menu Overhauls: We are aware of usability issues in the current version and will work to streamline the experience.
Power-Up System Improvements: Currently, only half of the features planned for the full release have been implemented. We not only plan to add the remaining features but also intend to improve functionality, including options such as "respec."
Supply System: Rewards exploration success with advantages in subsequent runs.
Additional Features Under Development:
Terrain cards like "Rockfall Blockage"
Party swap functionality
Exploration record-keeping
Expanded dungeon floors, monsters, special events, spells, and items
A classical RPG that can be played in just 15 minutes per round!
“Wizlite” is a nostalgic yet new RPG that combines the combat of traditional command battles with the popular roguelite system.
You’ll find yourself sweating over battles and unlocking treasure chests, deliberating whether to advance or take a rest while checking your remaining health and spell count. Enjoy the tension similar to the classical RPG masterpiece “Wizardry,” but with the crisp and speedy feel unique to roguelites.
Gameplay Flow:
First, create your character! Choose a race like humans or elves, allocate bonus points to parameters, select a class (profession) and personality, and finally, decide on a name to create your character. Too much hassle? Of course, default characters are also available.
Form a party of up to six characters and start your adventure! That’s what you’d want to do, but initially, there are restrictions on the number of characters you can organize. Play repeatedly to unlock various “power up” and gradually increase what you can do.
The dungeon consists of multiple floors, and players control their party to slowly progress towards defeating the final boss that dwells on the lowest level. You can choose your next action on each floor from three cards, but the card you want may not always be an option.
If all party members become incapacitated, it’s game over. In this roguelite game, if you’re wiped out, everything essentially resets. All characters’ levels return to 1, and any equipment obtained is lost. However, you can make gradual progress by using certain “power up” and special events.
Prologue
The group finally found the old facility they were searching for. A rusty iron plate, likely once a sign, lay on the floor at the entrance, its text barely legible in places.
Wizlite is the oldest and best M******** game! Fo** a party, explor* the dungeon infested by mons****, Def** the dragon dwel**ng on the bottom **or, and **...
"Disgusting. Is this really the best game?" someone remarked. "It's ancient, so it's bound to be worn out. Besides, it's the oldest, too." "Let's just go in. That's why we're here." "I was dragged here against my will..."
Despite their differing personalities, the group ventured inside together.
