The editor is outstanding. Devs gave us EVERYTHING they had. You can reproduce the entire levels 1 to 1 if you want to.

Holy shit this is the most Apogee feeling release for quite a while. I love how they stayed true to their roots. I can hear the classic midi music and sound effects of the games from the early 90s playing through my old soundcard on my 386 in my head just seeing their logo. The game gives a serious "What if we brought an SNES game into the 3D era?" vibe.

It's spot on nostalgia with just enough modern touches. I had a great time with it.

Man. My one issue with Wizordum right now is that weapons don't feel... crunchy enough. The fire rings feel a bit anemic (enemies don't get enough hit feedback and overall they feel a bit weak/less cool than the ice staff), the mace is very stubby and not all that satisfying to hit things with, and overall the visual and sound design of weapons lacks a bit of oomph. I want some delicious bitcrushed CRUNCH when the mace hits an enemy, a BZZAP when it does that with magic, a meaty SIZZLE when the rings throw fireballs, a CRACKLE when the ice staff fires off its shards, you know? And a bit more visual flair and enemies visibly flinching from your arcane might (or just a big ol' klonk from the mace). Edit: Oddly, the mace whacking a body into gore a third into the video kind of sounds more impressive than actually hitting an enemy felt. The ice staff does sound pretty nice on second listen. The fire rings, not so much.

This studio did a great job with the HD versions of the classic Apogee platformers. Glad to see them expanding to their own original game with their love for DOS on full display.

I should check those out. I haven't played the original Duke Nukem since I was a kid, like literally in the single digits.

I can't say enough about Primoz at Emberheart Games. From the time he submitted the prototype of Crystal Caves HD to me through working on Vexlands and Wizordum both at the same time, is just amazing! He cranked out Secret Agent HD, in a whooping 4 months, while working on Monster Bash HD. Apogee has utilized Primoz' talents for other projects as well, that will be revealed when they are released. I will summarize Primoz's work with a final comment; Primoz is a one man id Software for retro gaming development! ~ Terry - Co-Founder Apogee Entertainment.

I played the demo, it was an ok experience. I don't think I would compare it to Heretic. The level design is not as "complex" as Doom or Heretic. Wizordum feels really like Wolfenstein 3D, or more recently Project Warlock. I would keep the comparison with Heretic for maybe Hands of Necromancy. Regarding Wizordum, I agree something should be improved regarding the fighting, combos between spells as stated, or with the environement.

Visual aestethic reminiscent of Catacombs 3D, with general gameplay sensibilities of Rise of the Triad...it's so weird how this game feels catered specifically to my interests.

I do recommend you try the Demo! It was fun to hunt down all secrets. There's pushable walls, breakable walls and more... These early levels were pretty doable even on highest difficulty, no need to use items, I even chose melee over ranged sometimes just for fun. I bet it becomes more difficult in later levels! Will take a look at this game again next year :)

It does get pretty tricky in the later levels. I have a feeling episode 2 is going to turn up the heat even more. Thank you for the comment!

Eh, I don't want every fps to have to follow the Doom Eternal approach of needing to weapon swap or combos. Other than that great review as always.
