Are You A Wizard

Are You A Wizard is a game about being a wannabe spell-caster in a labyrinth of magic and monsters. You explore in search of powerful spells and try to survive hostile creatures, experimenting with unknown magic as you go.

Spells and exploration

Spells are generated procedurally, with widely varying effects, targeting methods, strengths and durations. Their names are generated too, so you can try to work out what a spell does before using it. Levels are also procedurally generated, ranging from mazes of small rooms and winding tunnels to a single large room filled with obstacles. Fog of war shows everywhere you have been, but not what those places look like now or what may be lurking there.

You can find upgrades that may greatly affect how you play, along with items that may help or hinder you. Pots and crates can be smashed, and walls can be moved or destroyed with the right tools, potentially revealing what lies behind them.

Turn-based play

The game uses a subtle turn-based system that gives you as long as you want to make decisions without making you wait too much. The labyrinth can bring unexpected outcomes, including comedy or tragedy.
