The crude-humored hit action-RPG Evil Wizard was released for Xbox and PC in May, but the fun hasn’t stopped there. Rubber Duck Games is pleased to announce that their GDC 2023 Best in Play winner will be coming to the Epic Games Store in Q3 and to Switch and PlayStation consoles in Q4 this year as well.
In Evil Wizard, you jump into the sassy boots of the titular Evil Wizard as you face off against hordes of enemies, avoid deadly traps, and solve challenging puzzles to reclaim the halls of your castle from the heroes that now live within it! Vengeance is the main point of attack as you work your way through charming, pixel-art environments packed to the brim with hordes of enemies that you need to overcome to reclaim what’s yours. While you once were a powerful wizard, your battle stripped you of your powers, and you’ll have to rediscover them as you work to infiltrate your castle and unleash devastating spells on your enemies.

Evil Wizard features crude, fourth-wall-breaking humor inspired by the likes of Conker’s Bad Fur Day and Deadpool. There are also a ton of easter eggs from some of the team’s favorite games and movies to be found in the backgrounds and in certain bosses. Tying all the fun together is satisfying action-RPG combat that you’ll need to master if you want to reclaim your evil castle and all the glory that comes with it.
