A Dungeon RPG You Can Play in 15-Minute Runs
Wizlite is a nostalgic yet fresh RPG that combines classic command-based battles with the popular roguelite genre.
Feel the thrill of battles and treasure chest traps, carefully manage your remaining health and spells, and agonize over whether to press on or rest. Wizlite delivers the tense, strategic experience reminiscent of nostalgic RPGs like Wizardry, while incorporating the fast-paced gameplay unique to roguelites.
While its visuals may look casual, the difficulty is quite high. The "15-minute runs" refer to the fact that, especially in the early stages, it only takes about 15 minutes on average to face a full party wipe(!).
How to Play
Start with Character Creation!
Choose a race, such as Human or Elf, distribute bonus points to your parameters, select a class and personality, and finally decide on a name. Feeling lazy? Don’t worry — default characters are available for you to dive right in!
Assemble a Party of Up to Six Adventurers and Begin Your Journey!
…But wait! At first, your party size is limited. By spending "SP" (earned upon full party wipes), you can unlock various "Power-ups" and gradually expand your capabilities.
Explore Multi-floor Dungeons!
Navigate your party through dungeons composed of multiple floors as you aim for the bottom layer. On each floor, your next action is determined by selecting one of three cards, but be warned — the best options may not always be available.
Game Over When the Entire Party Falls!
As a roguelite, Wizlite resets most of your progress upon a full party wipe. All characters' levels return to 1, and any equipment obtained is lost. However, with certain Power-ups and special events, you can gradually carry forward some progress to increase your chances of success.

In the Early Access version, some or all save data may not carry over in future updates. Specifically, "SP" values and "Power-Up" progress may be reset as part of balance adjustments.
Keyboard support is currently provisional. We recommend playing with a mouse for the best experience.
Prologue
At last, the group found their objective—a worn-out facility. The metal plate lying on the entrance floor, likely once a sign, was heavily rusted, with some words barely readable.
"Wizlite is the oldest ● and the most ● of M ● ● ● ●● ● ames!
"Y●u've formed a party and are ready to e●plore a dungeon swarming with mo●● ers. Def●at the dragon dw●●lling in the deepest floor."
"Disgusting. This is really supposed to be the best game?" someone remarks.
"Old or not, it's the oldest. If you keep saying that....."
"Let's go already! That's what we came for."
"I only came because you forced me..."
This group...as varied in personality as they look, they press forward together into the depths.
