Blade of Wiz: A Daring Dungeon-Crawling Roguelike Debuts at TGS 2025
An Indie Adventure You Can Download and Play at Home
A fresh and captivating action-adventure roguelike is coming our way. Developed by a Chinese indie team in collaboration with Another Indie, Blade of Wiz invites players into a darkly enchanting realm filled with magic and peril. The game will be showcased at Tokyo Game Show 2025, located at Booth 11-E63 in the Indie Game Arena. And the best part? A downloadable demo will be available—so you can dive in from home!
Meet the Cursed Kingdom and the Knight Within
In Blade of Wiz, you step into the boots of a hardened female knight returning to her cursed kingdom after years of war. By her side is a mystical black cat—your loyal companion bound by fate. Together, you delve deep into magical, dangerous, and mysterious dungeons, uncovering ancient secrets that lie within.
The top-down viewpoint offers a nostalgic yet modern aesthetic, blending classic perspective with polished design. As you explore, the narrative unfolds through atmospheric visuals and encounters.
Cat’s Nine Lives—A Unique Roguelike Twist
Combat in Blade of Wiz keeps you on your toes thanks to your feline partner’s nine lives. Every mistake is an opportunity to improve: survivors emerge stronger, more skilled in battle, and more deeply bonded with their feline comrade.
Before each expedition, you’ll prepare at camp—unlocking powerful combo skills and enhancing teamwork dynamics. The deeper you explore, the more you’ll unlock at the camp, keeping gameplay fresh and evolving.
Deep Customization with Sigils and Elements
Strategic customization shines through the game’s rich Sigil system. With over 40 Sigils, you can mix and match elemental powers—like fire, ice, and lightning—to craft explosive combos and your own playstyle.
This variety encourages experimentation: switch up your build to find what suits your tactics, whether that’s fiery bursts, icy control, or electric chaos.
Blade of Wiz will be available on PC via Steam, and a demo will be available soon—perfect for testing those nine lives and discovering Sigil synergies firsthand. Keep an eye out and lend your support to the indie creators. For more updates from Tokyo Game Show 2025, and the latest in gaming—and beyond—stay connected.
Enjoy the demo. Join the fight. Embrace the magic.
Final Thought
Blade of Wiz promises to be more than just another roguelike—it’s a heartfelt indie journey combining nostalgic charm with modern depth. The bond between the knight and her magical cat adds emotional weight, while the Sigil system ensures gameplay remains strategic and fresh. This demo could serve as an inspiring example of what indie games can achieve: creativity, heart, and innovation in one memorable adventure. I’m excited to see how the community embraces this underdog gem—and I hope Blade of Wiz slashes its way into the hearts of players everywhere.
