Über Wizards
Four wizards. One arena. One very angry ball.
Wizards is a spiritual successor to Warlords, the four-player arena classic
where you hold your ground, deflect what's coming, and outlast everyone else.
The shields still orbit. The ball still screams across the field. But now every
mage carries a spellbook, and no rally survives contact with it.
Protect your library. Break theirs. Last wizard standing takes the match.
The old discipline
Your shield sweeps around your position in a tight arc, and that arc is the
whole game. Read the ball's angle, commit early, and send it back harder than
it came. Every deflection is tracked to the wizard who made it, so when the
ball finally lands, everyone knows exactly whose fault it was.
The new chaos
Five spells turn a clean rally into a scramble:
- Fireball: a burning projectile hurled straight across the arena.
- Ice Bolt: freeze a rival at the exact moment they need to move.
- Pentacle: arcane geometry that rewrites the flow of play.
- Shield: the half-second of protection that saves your corner.
- Ball Duplication: one incoming threat was never enough.
Opponents with opinions
Any empty slot fills with an AI wizard drawn from five distinct combat
personalities: Rookie, Veteran, Aggressive, Defensive, and Chaotic. Learn the
angles against a Rookie. Then see how many seconds you last against Chaotic.
