Greetings Wizards,

We’re happy to announce that Rogue Wizards closed alpha program has begun. If you backed us on Kickstarter at the Shaman level or higher, you’ll be receiving a Steam key to join and play the alpha over the next couple of weeks to try out the game and provide us feedback and report issues. We’ll be adding users into the alpha in groups every week; so if you don’t receive your key right away don’t worry, it will arrive soon.

Missed the Kickstarter but still want to play the open beta when its ready? Subscribe to our Spellbind Studios Newsletter and we’ll be recruiting players from that list to join the open beta in 2016.

• Build the Wizard Tower, Blacksmith, Armorer, and Jeweler
• Run through 4 basic story quests plus random dungeons are available after building the Armory
• Find several item types with dozens of randomized magic properties
• Fight against 9 different monsters (and a few more that are incomplete with just melee attacks)
• Learn low to mid level spells across 6 schools of magic
• Play through the randomized Dungeon, Cavern, and Cosmic environments

What’s coming next?

• Storyline quests, NPCs, and structures beyond the Rift of Fire
• Creating special and magical attack for monsters and bosses that don’t have them yet
• Colorable character variations
• Town presentation experimentations
