What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $4.79, set in November 2020. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 63 in the 8 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 15 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Ember Knights ($19.99, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats Never Split the Party (free, scores 44).
Critics scored it 79. Players sit 12 points higher at 91 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
12 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 1,326 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
This is probably my favorite rogue lite. Probably the only one too where I've unlocked EVERYTHING. I'm a teacher, so I spent a good summer staying up until 3 am-listening to full albums on repeat in the background-just grinding on this game. Super fun time. If only Wizard of Legend 2 had been good! :(
This game makes you feel like a god while still getting beat around. For a while, I felt impartial to this game, getting stuck of the second of 4 bosses for most of my runs. But then it clicked. At first, enemy patterns screw you up constantly. Bad positioning and prioritization will get you major damage, you struggle with the timing of your spells, and that one boss just has an attack you can't dodge (if it's the...
This is a solid rogue lite, I haven't played a ton of games in the genre (mainly hollow knight and children of morta) but for me this is just like those games in that it's snappy, well crafted, full of enough variation to keep me interested while not overwhelming me, it's got a great look, good music, and lots of fun tidbits that just feel like icing on a well made cake. I haven't poured tons of hours in yet, but so...
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Wizard of Legend scores 77/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/445980/wizard-of-legendThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 17, price as of Sep 24.
