    While I really liked the game's graphics, sound and environment, the gameplay felt lackluster and shallow. Yes, it's just a simple breakout-clone at heart, but I felt that the RPG aspect was vastly underused. Recommended for those from the 8-bit era, looking for a short, but sweet arcade game.

    The graphics and music are pretty good, but overall the gameplay is a bit lackluster, and fairly frustrating. The controls could have been a bit more fine tuned. The town and magic elements are nice, but I feel were still lacking in depth.

    Nice concept, interesting game. Gets boring quickly though because there's no novelty past the first level. The story is cool but the game is short.

    Wizorb is a fair arkanoid-like game with bunch of RPG-like elements. Nice but stops being interesting veery soon. A solid 6, but still no more than a 6.

    At a mere 2 quid, you'd have to be insane not to pick Wizorb up. [June 2012, p.101]

    Still, it's a very well-designed game that harkens back to the arcade era which adds a few new twists to what could've been a very dull game. Fans of brick-breaking titles will find much to enjoy with Wizorb. It adds a new wrinkle to gameplay with its magic elements, and its mimicry of the bygone NES days will charm the pants off anyone nostalgic for that era.

    One of the best bat-and-ballers since Breakout itself.
