Wizard Legend: Magic Awakened brings spell deck combat to a very familiar magical academy on Android

Pocket Gamer RSS Feed3 min read(5 months ago)

Overview & Key Takeaways

Walk into Wizard Legend: Magic Awakened and something will feel immediately familiar. Stone corridors, floating candles, robes and wands. And a crest on the wall that's doing its absolute best to look like it’s not Gryffindor. Anyone who grew up dreaming about a letter from a certain school of witchcraft and wizardry is going to feel right at home. The similarities don't stop at the decor either. There's a brown-haired boy in robes with a wand, a large, bearded figure who has big “knows where the three-headed dog is kept” energy, and stone halls lit by candlelight that could slot straight into a certain seven-film franchise without anyone batting an eye. ...

  • Wizard Legend: Magic Awakened features over 140 spells
  • Idle combat driven by pre-built spell decks and modifiers
  • PvP Arena, co-op club content, and resource dungeons

Walk into Wizard Legend: Magic Awakened and something will feel immediately familiar. Stone corridors, floating candles, robes and wands. And a crest on the wall that's doing its absolute best to look like it’s not Gryffindor. Anyone who grew up dreaming about a letter from a certain school of witchcraft and wizardry is going to feel right at home.

The similarities don't stop at the decor either. There's a brown-haired boy in robes with a wand, a large, bearded figure who has big “knows where the three-headed dog is kept” energy, and stone halls lit by candlelight that could slot straight into a certain seven-film franchise without anyone batting an eye.

Anyway, in Wizard Legend, you start out as a new apprentice at that academy – fresh-faced, probably undertrained, and working your way up from “person who accidentally sets things on fire” to something a bit more commanding.

Fitting for an adventure that looks like this, spellcasting is the main event. There are over 140 to unlock, spanning four elements and multiple magic types. Modifiers give you enough flexibility to skew toward damage, crowd control, or something more offbeat.

Combat runs automatically, which is par for the course in idle RPGs. What gives it a bit more texture is that your pre-built spell deck is what drives it. So, the thinking happens before the fight, not during. You set things up, watch it play out, and then go back and tinker when your magic runs dry.

Beyond that, there's a solid spread of modes - Arena if you want to pit your build against other players, Goblin Alley for resource farming, and club-based content for anyone who prefers playing alongside others. One thing worth noting for anyone on the fence – the RPG is being fairly generous at launch, with a significant number of summons baked into the early experience.

If you want to see how it measures up against the rest of the field, our list of the top RPGs on Android is a good place to start.

Heroic Legends Reborn is the product of two brothers rebuilding an MMO from the ground up

We all get nostalgic for games which other people seem to overlook. For me, it's Two Worlds (yeah, I know), and for two brothers, it's the now fifteen-year-old MMO Heroic Legends! So, what do you do when that game has disappeared? Well, if you're like them, you rebuild it yourself. With blessings from the original creators and access to the artwork used to create the hand-painted MMO, two brothers known as SonOfBoo and Andepher have recreated Heroic Legends from the ground up. Rechristened as Heroic Legends Reborn, it's slated to arrive on iOS and Android on September 5th. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/heroic-legends-reborn/coming-soon/)

Nintendo’s War On Switch Emulators Continues With 400 More GitHub Takedowns🍄 Nintendo Switch, Mobile, Multi-platform

Nintendo’s War On Switch Emulators Continues With 400 More GitHub Takedowns

Nintendo is doing what Nintendo does: issuing DMCA takedown notices to anyone who illegally offers access to any of the company's games. That's exactly what happened earlier this week, as Nintendo wiped out over 400 Switch emulators from GitHub. According to an August 21 TorrentFreak report(https://torrentfreak.com/nintendo-wipes-out-400-switch-emulator-repos-in-single-day-github-sweep/), the Mario maker sent the proprietary developer platform seven DMCA takedown notices targeting Nintendo Switch emulator repositories. This includes Suyu (the Yuzu successor that became popular after Yuzu shut down(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-lawsuit-shuts-down-switch-emulator-yuzu-and-3ds-emulator-citra/1100-6521589/) in March 2024), the Android emulator Skyline, and a few lingering Yuzu forks. In total, some 401 repositories were nuked off GitHub, with 311 of them being Suyu. Now that they're removed, if you attempt to visit the repository on GitHub, you'll receive either a 404 error or a pop-up notification that it's been taken down. In the DMCA pop-up notification, Nintendo states that the targeted repositories "offer, link to, or otherwise provide access to Nintendo Switch emulators." The company said these emulators violate Technological Protection Measures (TPMs), which act as digital locks controlled by copyright owners to prevent copying data illegally. "Specifically, these Nintendo Switch emulators illegally circumvent Nintendo's TPMs in order to run illegal copies of Nintendo Switch games," the notice reads. "Nintendo Switch games are encrypted using proprietary cryptographic keys (prod.keys) which protect against unauthorized access to and copying of the copyrighted games. During operation, the emulators at the reported repositories necessarily use unauthorized copies of these cryptographic keys to decrypt unauthorized copies of Nintendo Switch games, or ROMs, at or immediately before runtime without Nintendo's authorization." With Nintendo summoning the Eye of Mario on 401 repositories earlier this week, and over 8,500 repositories in May 2024(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-shuts-down-yuzu-clones-in-ongoing-quest-to-kill-switch-emulation/1100-6523158/), this brings the company's repository death count to almost 9,000 on GitHub alone. And with Nintendo filing a lawsuit against Yuzu creator Tropic Haze in February 2024(https://kotaku.com/nintendo-zelda-tears-kingdom-switch-yuzu-emulate-pirate-1851293463), which resulted in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom(https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/) being pirated over one million times before it launched, the company's war on emulators continues.
