The game infuses some of that delightful childlike innocence and joy that older gamers fondly remember from their youth, while at the same time melding in gameplay elements that appeal to those same gamers. It is challenging, maybe a bit of a grind, but takes card-game play, adds a dash of role-playing and presents it all in a family-friendly atmosphere.
The game is Wizard101, from KingsIsle Entertainment. It is an MMO currently in open beta. GameZone got a chance to play the game and before long, even the youngest member of the household was enthralled and leveling up a character or two.
Intrigued by the impetus behind the game, GZ got in touch with KingsIsle and had a chat with J. Todd Coleman, the director at KingsIsle Entertainment about the game.
Recently Skewed and Reviewed got to speak with KingsIsle about Wizard 101 and what is to come for the game.
KingsIsle Entertainment and gamigo are pleased to announce the start of Wizard101’s European services transfer from Gameforge. Starting today, Wizards across the pond will be able to experience new magical updates at a much faster rate to ultimately sync up closer with their North American counterparts.
KingsIsle Entertainment and gamigo are pleased to announce European Wizard101 services will transition over from Gameforge to KingsIsle and gamigo starting the week of May 16.
