Today, developer Rubber Duck Games and publisher E-Home Entertainment are thrilled to celebrate the launch of their humor-filled action RPG, Evil Wizard, on Windows PC, and Xbox Series X|S! This unique, action-adventure title puts players in the role of a defeated final boss, fresh off of a humiliating battle with a hero, and hungry for revenge.
In their quest for vengeance, you’ll explore charming pixel-art environments packed to the brim with hordes of enemies that you need to overcome to reclaim what’s yours. While you once were a powerful wizard, an epic battle stripped you of your powers and now you’ll have to rediscover them and re-infiltrate your castle to unleash the revenge you long for.
“It has been a long time coming, and we’re thrilled to be launching the quirky and comedic fun of Evil Wizard and sharing our unique spin on the action RPG genre,” said Kavka Wang, Marketing Director, at E-Home. “Evil Wizard has a little something for everyone, between the crude humor, satisfying combat, and hundreds of easter eggs scattered throughout, and we welcome players into the wild and wonderful world that we’ve created!”
“We are equally nervous as excited to be releasing the game,” said lead programmer Diego Ordoñez, “They keep asking us for a quote but the only thing we can put to summarize our feelings is ‘AAHHHHHHH!’”

Evil Wizard features tons of enemy and boss variety, including some inspired by the dev team’s favorite games and movies. The game also features fourth-wall-breaking humor, inspired by the likes of Conker’s Bad Fur Day and Deadpool, and one thing is certain: this wizard has quite the mouth! Tying all the fun together is satisfying action RPG combat that you’ll need to master if you want to reclaim your evil castle and all the glory that comes with it.
Key Features of Evil Wizard:
- A Quest Called Revenge!: Face off against hordes of heroes, avoid devastating deadly traps, and solve increasingly problematic puzzles as you reclaim the halls of your castle from the filth that now lives within it!
- Crudely Chaotic Humor: Prepare to laugh, or at least grin, thanks to an assortment of fourth-wall-breaking fun, bathroom stall save points, silly NPCs, and sassy wizards!
- Metroidvania-Inspired Design: Delve into a new, eviller, point of view, explore carefully crafted locations, navigate intricate levels, and use your skills and elements to unlock new paths in the Metroidvania-inspired world.
- If You’re Evil and You Know It: Utilize the evil-ness you harbor to slash, hack, and stab your enemies, and if that isn’t enough, you know you’re a wizard, right? Harness the elements and vaporize them.
Evil Wizard is now available on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC via Steam. If you’re interested in reviewing the game, you can request a key right here.
