In addition to RPG Vault's
earlier article, IGN's Vault Hub has kicked up
their own hands-on preview of KingsIsle's recently announced Wizard101.
Wizard 101 is a multiplayer, online adventure game that starts you out as a Wizard apprentice at the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts. There you learn how to control your magical powers before you embark on your quest to save Wizard City from the forces of evil.
As you go through your adventure, you collect spell cards, which you can then use in combat. Combat is therefore, primarily in the form of a collectible card game. Some spell cards summon pets that aid you in combat, with matching cool animation effects. There are also several minigames that serve the secondary purpose of recharging your wizard’s magical energy. Like to play against your friends? You can use the dueling system to battle another wizard one-on-one, or team up with your friends against another group (up to 4-on-4).
