Evaluation

An Amazing Wizard entered Steam Early Access on May 22, 2025, and has been actively developed by Tiny Goblins ever since. The developer has shipped a consistent series of updates throughout Early Access, including a new boss for higher difficulties (August 11, 2025), new enemies and spells (October 21, 2025), and an Alchemist NPC with over 100 potions plus four new enemies (February 27, 2026). Most recently, on June 24, 2026, the developer posted a detailed update breaking the game's silence since March 2026. Rather than releasing a smaller update as originally planned, the team decided to fold everything into a single large 1.0 release. This post revealed substantial new content already in development: a completely redesigned Spell Fusion system, more than 20 new magic weapons, new enemies, major UI overhauls, and — crucially — the game's final boss and story conclusion, which the developer describes as the main thing currently missing. The developer explicitly promises the 1.0 release will happen before the end of 2026. The game is still in Early Access and heading toward a full 1.0 launch with significant content yet to be delivered.

About this game

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you get when you combine a roguelite with metroidvania? A RogueVania!
After every death you will respawn in one of the four nature-inspired magical worlds. There are no checkpoints...

A The prophesied child is born once in a millennium among the wizards: Although born in the Wizard Village, he is the only one who cannot cast any magic. Instead, a mysterious Magic Hands casts spells at will on his behalf. Someone has stolen your memories and forced you into this ever-changing world. Reclaim your memories, learn the whole truth about your power, and free yourself from this world!

Myriad of builds to have! Choose from 7 unique elements, mix 100+ spells with 200+ enchantments! 200+ Artifacts and Perks will add unexpected twists to your run. Be a SUMMONER, MELEE BRAWLER, or THROW FIREBALLS with a boomerang effect.

Each biome has distinctive mobs and elites. To get to the next level, you need to defeat the boss of the world. Beware, with each next iteration dimension upgrades itself and enemies learn new tricks, become faster and stronger.

What? You say the boss muttered something strange before dying? Oh, don’t mind that at all, it’s probably nothing.

Explore 5 worlds, with each next one being distorted by Chaos more and more. Look for hidden rooms, complete challenges, fall into trap caves, and unlock more elements to help you on your journey. Psst. Don't bully the Shopkeeper.
