Hey Everyone! We're back with a quick update involving a new magical music NPC! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/12135633/e0cd357388a4189c9ffef2bcea30ce82f26b1fa5.gif Meet Melody the Jukebox!

Hey Everyone! We have just pushed a new beta version of Wizard of Legend, accessible to everyone, under the name "controllerbeta". We hope to greatly increase controller support with this patch, but wanted to make sure we didn't introduce major bugs in the process. Update: There seems to be a bug with dying and re-joining the game. We'll look into this and update the beta as soon as possible. You can try the beta out by doing the following:

Opt into Steam betas: Steam -> "Settings" -> "Account" tab -> "Beta participation" -> "CHANGE" button -> "Steam Beta Update" -> "OK" button

Restart Steam if you had it open so that the beta list can update

Right click on "Wizard of Legend" -> "Properties" in the library

Click on the "BETAS" tab

Choose "controllerbeta" from the drop down

The game should update and show "Wizard of Legend "

You should also DISABLE Steam Input support to ensure proper detection by going to "Wizard of Legend" -> "Properties" -> "Controller" -> "Disable Steam Input" Here's a list of controllers that should be supported to some degree with the update: https://guavaman.com/projects/rewired/docs/SupportedControllers.html Please let us know if this update solves any issues you may have had or causes new ones! We'd love to hear how it goes for you via Discord, Twitter, or Steam Community Forums. Thank you!

Hey Everyone! We're back with a new update which adds a plethora of arcana and relics along with various quality of life improvements and rebalancing. With this update, Tomi is finally satiated and will no longer be able to hold any new arcana.

There are too many changes to mention here, but below is a quick overview of what you can expect: Overview

• 16 new arcana (2 for each base element, 6 chaos)
• 12 new signatures (2 for each base element, 2 chaos)
• UI markers for arcana and relic types
• Doubled loadout slots with Cammy
• 11 new relics with new grouping system
• 2 new combine relics

https://i.imgur.com/R0qtTTo.png Hey Everyone! We’re back with another update and this time we’ll be going into a bit more depth on the changes the Sky Palace will bring! But in case you missed it, be sure to check out the teaser trailer for the update here! One thing we’d like to address is that we’re expecting the Sky Palace to launch in the early months of 2019 rather than at the end of this year as initially planned. We’re still in the process of putting the finishing touches on the update and we can’t thank you enough for your support thus far. The game will be automatically updated when the Sky Palace goes live. https://i.imgur.com/ipSvlzV.gif The first thing we’ll be showing off is the often requested Endless Run mode! Once you’ve cleared the chaos trials, you’ll find that a very mysterious old man begins to show up towards the end of the trials. This old man will allow you to spend some of your hard earned chaos gems to loop to the beginning of the trials with all the powerful artifacts you’ve collected on the way. However, upon looping to the beginning of the trials, you’ll find that things aren’t quite as rosy as you remember them being as all enemies will be significantly more difficult! But if you can survive, you just may be able to become the perfect wizard that you always dreamed of becoming! https://i.imgur.com/wrHQ7sR.gif Also, Nox the Unfortunate has now set up his cursed relic shop in Lanova Plaza. Though they’ll come at a steep price, these relics will be a bit more powerful than the standard curses and will drastically affect the trials as a whole. And of course, with every update, we’ll be adding new content in the form of arcana, relics, capes, enemies, and rooms to the game! While there are quite a few changes, here’s a quick sneak peek at two new signature arcana being added in the update: https://i.imgur.com/0ZVF2Wo.gif While we’ve gone back and given several of the original arcana new signature versions, Tectonic drill is a favorite of ours! In its signature version, wizards fire off a barrage of miniature drills before following up with a massive drill of gigantic proportions! https://i.imgur.com/vzsDCMW.gif The second signature is a new arcana added in this update, Dragon Surge! This arcana fires off watery dragons that swim around the stage while torpedoing through enemies to disrupt them! That’s all for this update! Thank you again for your awesome support and we’ll do our best to get the Sky Palace update out as soon as possible! Happy Holidays!

We're back with another patch and this time we've added a familiar NPC to Lanova Plaza that will help you randomize your runs through the Chaos Trials! Also, we've added French, German, and Russian language support to the game! This update also includes a few minor tuning and quality of life changes: - Obsidian Cascade: This arcana is now much more fluid to use and activates / exits roughly 20% quicker. The signature has also been tuned and is easier to aim, has a tighter spread, and throws 17 daggers instead of 15. The cooldown for this spell has been increased from 5.75 seconds to a flat 6 seconds. - Tomi, Ward, and Mimi will now only speak to you once per scene before making their services available to you. This was mainly so you don't have to keep skipping through dialog when trying out various magical artifacts. - Fixed a few minor bugs involving some unforeseen edge cases with a few of our relics. That's all for this time! Cheers!
