In between runs, you can explore a small village that's been destroyed and whether you're in the middle of the action or walking around this village, the graphics really pop with lovely pixel-perfect retro visuals and spot-on animation that impressively bring everything to life. The story of Wizorb is simple as you play as the wizard Cyrus from the Kingdom of Gorudo who's on a mission to save the land from an invading evil. This mix of magic and classic tried-and-true gameplay is wonderful and will keep you hooked as you get further and further while unlocking new stages complete with distinct environments along the way. Meanwhile, you play as a wizard who can utilize magic spells in order to turn the tides in his favour. At its core, it's very much what you'd expect from a Breakout-style game where you bounce an orb off a paddle that can move side to side in the hopes of destroying every single brick, box, and enemy on the playfield. I originally played Wizorb on Steam about 10 years ago and was delighted to see it re-emerge on the Nintendo Switch eShop a decade later. has been obsessively gaming since the late '80s and is just as passionate about video games in 2023. Wizorb is a delightful brick-breaker that's been around for a long time and it's finally available for Switch so let's see how well it's held up.

Wizorb is also available for Ouya, PSP, and Xbox 360 Maciejewski playing a Nintendo Switch on Octo🧙‍♂️
