DeVuego LATAM

Si bien su humor no puede agradar a todo el mundo, algo que el juego recuerda y avisa al principio, la mayoría de personas se van a desternillar con todo lo que acontece y se dice de principio a fin.

Evil Wizard was a pleasant surprise to me. Taking the role of a villain, this game’s unique blend of dark humor and fourth wall-breaking antics is an absolute masterpiece. The witty dialogue and clever references had me smiling ear to ear while navigating me through this game ‘after the game’ (which will make more sense if you play it). The game seamlessly blends intense boss battles with moments of comedic relief, creating an unforgettable gaming experience. With its not-overly-complex gameplay mechanics and fun story beats, this game is a must-play for any fan of action adventure games, particularly those with a fondness of Deadpool style humor.

Nitpicks aside, I truly loved my time with Evil Wizard. If you enjoy classic Final Fantasy or classic Zelda games, Evil Wizard will sing to you (not literally). The only other time I remember a slight twist on the classic style RPG formula was in Moonlighter, the wonderful RPG where you play as a dungeon crawling shopkeeper. Evil Wizard takes twisted humour and easy to learn mechanics to craft a Metroidvania, action-RPG that you should take the time to play.

Evil Wizard is a fun and engaging title that is easy to recommend for action adventure enthusiasts.

And that’s perhaps the keyword I’d use to describe the package as a whole – fun. Evil Wizard, while not doing anything to reinvent the genre, is just a fun, damn time. Once the writing finds its feet after a shaky opening hour, there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments to be had, and the combat, while not especially deep, is polished and engaging. In a year where we are absolutely drowning in big-budget affairs that allow us to live out our heroic fantasies in spectacular fashion, it was a joy to take a slight detour and spend a few hours in the company of vitriolic little Wizard who hates the world and everyone around him.

It's a fun game through and through, but it's also exactly what it says on the tin, and it revels in it. Evil Wizard offers goofy humor, video game references, and fun combat - and sometimes, that's all that it needs to do.

Evil Wizard, un RPG de acción con humor políticamente poco correcto que te mantiene pegado a la pantalla mientras conversas con el Hechicero Malvado que busca ayuda para recuperar su castillo asediado por unos héroes un poco repelentes. Con una historia bastante cautivadora y una jugabilidad fluida te mantendrá pegado a la pantalla durante mas tiempo del que te crees.

I will admit Evil Wizard did not deliver the best first impression for me. The constant interruption of gameplay to tell some joke got old pretty quickly. I admit I can see a sizable audience loving this humour. When things focused on the gameplay, I was enjoying the flow of the experience. Combat is a fair challenge made more enjoyable by the game’s epic boss battles. It also changes the pace of playing an adventure game without a 2D platformer. It’s a solid experience that will keep you entertained throughout. Some may even call this the Evil Zelda game. Evil Wizard shows it’s good to be bad sometimes.

Evil Wizard is an action RPG that has a dollop of Metroidvania smothered over the top. Going for a fast-paced combat-heavy affair Evil Wizard plays a lot like other games in the series but it then adds in the elements like fire and electricity and with this you get a new stable of attacks and ways to navigate the world. You have a central hub that allows you to plot your own course through the world whilst also displaying all found rubber ducks. It’s a fast-paced enslaught that does delight but it also frustrates with its limited variety and over-the-top humor and in your faces way too many easter eggs and references.

Evil Wizard is a solid Metroidvania title that wants to cast a spell on you with its humor. If it succeeds, you just might find yourself with a new favorite game.

Although there's a lot of humour and good times packed into Evil Wizard, its combat is quite middling and can be rather frustrating.

Evil Wizard es un título divertido y diferente, desafiante tanto en combate y exploración. La perspectiva del antihéroe con un humor ácido, pero con su corazoncito negro y retorcido, hace que el juego se haga muy corto. Siempre queda la esperanza de una segunda parte, con nuestro Hechicero infundiendo temor en los pueblos circundantes. O quizá narren las sanguinarias aventuras del Vampiro Bloodymir, quién sabe.

Evil Wizard es un juego para los más frikis y los amantes de los RPG, con un sistema de combate simple pero desafiante y que nos va a dar toneladas de humor y referencias al mundo de los videojuegos, películas, series... Ojo, porque esta bendición puede convertirse en maldición si no nos gusta el bombardeo constante.
