Evil Wizard

Every spell you own is locked inside your own castle, and getting it back is the whole design. That inversion changes how you read the map: you're not learning a new kingdom, you're re-learning the rooms you built, and the guards who took the place over are squatting in your workshop with your gear. Rubber Duck Games leans hard into the joke of being a washed-up dark lord, and the writing lands more often than it should. The barbs at the heroes who "won" are genuinely funny rather than smug. The spell unlocks are the good part. Each recovered ability opens both traversal and a new combat rhythm, and the hand-drawn castle rewards backtracking with actual secrets instead of padding. Combat is loose, though, and the bosses ask for more precision than the controls comfortably give. It's a short run, and that's a mercy: the systems don't have the depth to carry forty hours, and it doesn't pretend otherwise. Go in for the voice and the map, not for build variety.
