Creative levels, diverse enemy types and weapons that are joy to use. Everything that you want in a boomer shooter you will find in Wizordum.

I know that 3 stars might seem a bit low, because I did enjoy this game. I played the demo but waited for the 1.0 version to jump in. The good It's a very nice nostalgia trip for long time FPS players or anybody who can get into the most classic of shooters from the early years. The shooting is solid and you get to pick from two classes at the time of this review. Some of the levels are really creative with the formula, especially in Episode 3. You can really tell the team got better during the development at making cool levels. There are also user levels available. Graphics are nice and colorful and you do get a lot of different environments throughout the lengthy campaign (took me around 20h to complete with all secrets). The bad I thought the weapons, while staying useful throughout the campaign, just didn't have the visceral impact you would expect of a good shooter nowadays. The enemies are a bit too curtesy and don't offer that much variety too keep you interested till the end. The make or break for me was the completionist aspect of this game. For one thing, after release the devs quickly added lore items to each level, so my completion was annihilated half way through the game :/ But the part I liked the least was secret hunting and collecting all the treasures. I now it's emulating the classics like Wolfenstein 3D with the wall humping for secrets, but combing the levels often trippled my playtime while I just could not find the last secret or treasure. You can get items to mitigate this, but in the case of secrets you still have to find the map in each level and for the treasure it only triggers once you found basically all of it, forcing you to again backtrack the whole level to find one stack of coins you missed. Enemies can also drop bags of coins in awkard or impossible to reach areas, screwing you out of your 100%. I hope you still give this one a chance. It was worth it for me, just don't bother with collecting every single thing.
