Tap Wizard Rpg Runes Continue When Idle

Tap Wizard RPG: Arcane Quest is a 2D top-down idle RPG where your wizard goes on an epic quest to defeat monsters coming from another dimension. This game is made by Iron Horse Games LLC which is well known for their idle games such as Tap Tap Dig and Idle Tap Zoo.

Design

This game focus on the old school 8-bit graphics which I think is very pretty even though is more simplistic compared to most games where they focus more on high-end graphics. There are a huge roster of enemies, each with its own unique design and attacks like minotaurs, evil wizards, globins and even killer butterflies (lol). I really like the spell effects in this game which I think is pretty cool as there are up to 30 different spells, each with its own animation. The game runs very smoothly even though there is a lot of action and effects going on which is very impressive.

Gameplay

This game is very straightforward, defeat all the monsters to progress to the next stage. Since this is an idle game, the game actually does most of the job for you as it will automatically use spells to attack monsters so you don't really need to like move your wizard or press buttons to use spells. Monsters defeated will either drop one of those items:

– Untapped power orbs which will be added to your overall untapped power after you recall

– Gold which can be used for upgrading your wizard

– Runes that contained powerups

– Runite which are premium currency but only drops from bosses

Each sector (stage) will have five parts, at the end of a sector there will be a boss that you have to defeat to progress further to the next stage. Each stage will have different monsters each with its own element resistance and armor so as you progress further the monsters will be more powerful that your wizard is unable to defeat them. You will be forced to recall if your wizard dies or take too long to kill a single monster which your collected untapped power will be added to your overall untapped power, making your wizard stronger on the next run.

There are two different shapes of runes that you can tap in this game such as the Octagon runes which will automatically activate the rune upon tapping and the Square runes which upon tapping those will be added in your inventory which you can tap the rune to activate the rune. Each rune has its own powerup such as:

– Acid bomb which reduces monsters armor

– Speedy casting which reduces the cooldown of your skills

– Summoner's link which increases your summon duration

– Rejuvenation which restores your wizard HP

– Power harvesting which increases the Untapped power orbs obtained from monsters

One cool feature in this game is that after reaching a certain sector you will receive a lamp item which obtains Untapped power orbs and gold if you close the app which is very convenient if you need to do other things for your phone. Overall gameplay looks fun but after a while, it gets very repetitive as you collect power orbs and progressing sectors over and over again to unlock new features.

Upgrades and spells

There are only three types of spell elements: fire, lightning and ice. Most of the spells deal Area of Effect damage while other spells summon a friendly monster to aid your wizard with its own special spell. There are loadouts to set your spells which the percentage of each spell in the loadout represents the amount of exp you can collect for your spell. Every level up your spell will unlock better spell effects and passives. Passives are special stats that even if that spell is not equipped in the loadout, it will still have the effect.

The raw spellstones can be obtained through critical raids to randomly unlock new spells while the pure spellstones which can be obtained only in the market using Runite.

The academy is another type of upgrade which you can upgrade different passive stats for your wizard such as:

– Increasing your wizard max HP

– Increase the chances of encountering rune caches

– Increase overall spell damage and casting speed

However, you have to first initiate the upgrade using coins which you have to wait an amount of time for the passive research to complete. You can reduce the timing of the research by obtaining research runes in the game.

There is also an enchanting system which you reset your overall untapped power to start from sector 1. The benefit is that your spell damage, research discount and research speed increases dramatically for every enchantment which is important to abuse this feature. Other than these upgrades there are actually more but you have to reach much further into the game so you going to grind alot to unlock most of the new upgrades and modes.

Verdict

Overall I enjoyed the game even though I have not reached further into the game to unlock everything. Being able to leave your phone and the game does most of the work is quite a cool and interesting concept which this game does it well. I would recommend to anyone who just wants a very simple game progression the lazy way.

The Good:

– Decent gameplay

– Simple yet pretty graphics

– Lots of upgrades and spells to choose from

The Bad:

– Lack of events

– Slow progression

– Gets kinda repetitive after awhile
