About Wizlite

Wizlite combines nostalgic turn-based RPG combat with dynamic roguelite elements to create a fast-paced, strategic die-and-retry game.

Key Features

JRPG × Roguelite Fusion: Blending the classic charm of JRPGs with the dynamic growth mechanics of roguelite games.
Strategic Resource Management: Inspired by Wizardry, enjoy turn-based battles, treasure-filled dungeon exploration, and tactical resource management.
Die-and-retry Mechanics: When your party is wiped out, adventurers return to Level 1, losing collected items. However, accumulated Soul Points (SP) allow for permanent upgrades, enabling deeper dives with each run.

Upcoming Updates (Planned)

Wizlite is currently in Early Access, with plans to incorporate player feedback to enhance the game for its full release next year. Below are some highlights of the planned updates:

Major UI and Menu Overhauls: We are aware of usability issues in the current version and will work to streamline the experience.

Power-Up System Improvements: Currently, only half of the features planned for the full release have been implemented. We not only plan to add the remaining features but also intend to improve functionality, including options such as "respec."

Supply System: Rewards exploration success with advantages in subsequent runs.

Additional Features Under Development:

Terrain cards like "Rockfall Blockage"
Party swap functionality
Exploration record-keeping
Expanded dungeon floors, monsters, special events, spells, and items

5dims Inc.'s new game “Wizlite” in development for early access 2024 release!

Oct 3, 2024

Wish list registration for “Wizlite” is now open!

A classical RPG that can be played in just 15 minutes per round!

“Wizlite” is a nostalgic yet new RPG that combines the combat of traditional command battles with the popular roguelite system.

You’ll find yourself sweating over battles and unlocking treasure chests, deliberating whether to advance or take a rest while checking your remaining health and spell count. Enjoy the tension similar to the classical RPG masterpiece “Wizardry,” but with the crisp and speedy feel unique to roguelites.

Gameplay Flow:

First, create your character! Choose a race like humans or elves, allocate bonus points to parameters, select a class (profession) and personality, and finally, decide on a name to create your character. Too much hassle? Of course, default characters are also available.
Form a party of up to six characters and start your adventure! That’s what you’d want to do, but initially, there are restrictions on the number of characters you can organize. Play repeatedly to unlock various “power up” and gradually increase what you can do.
The dungeon consists of multiple floors, and players control their party to slowly progress towards defeating the final boss that dwells on the lowest level. You can choose your next action on each floor from three cards, but the card you want may not always be an option.
If all party members become incapacitated, it’s game over. In this roguelite game, if you’re wiped out, everything essentially resets. All characters’ levels return to 1, and any equipment obtained is lost. However, you can make gradual progress by using certain “power up” and special events.

Prologue

The group finally found the old facility they were searching for. A rusty iron plate, likely once a sign, lay on the floor at the entrance, its text barely legible in places.

　Wizlite is the oldest and best M******** game!
　Fo** a party, explor* the dungeon infested by mons****,
　Def** the dragon dwel**ng on the bottom **or, and **...

"Disgusting. Is this really the best game?" someone remarked. "It's ancient, so it's bound to be worn out. Besides, it's the oldest, too." "Let's just go in. That's why we're here." "I was dragged here against my will..."

Despite their differing personalities, the group ventured inside together.
