Kickstart this: Rogue Wizards is a charming mish-mash of town-building and dungeon-crawling roguelike

Rogue Wizards is doing a lot of things. Namely, combining town building and dungeon crawling into one big mish-mash game.

Rogue Wizards places you as the wizard assigned to vanquish the mysterious portals and the accursed dungeons in order to rid the world of dark magic.

But you do, at least, get to build out your own Wizard Tower while doing this. It should be homely, a pleasant place to hang your wand after a hard day's work of monster slaying, right?

Wrong. Your Wizard Tower gets surrounded by a thriving town where you can upgrade your spells, craft new gear, and recruit a pair of helping hands.

To be fair, you'll probably need it in order to get through the randomly generated dungeons, taking out the evil minions that lie in wait.

There's plenty of time to rest after you've saved the world.

Aside from all this dynamic interplay going on, Rogue Wizards has a couple of other things going for it.

Firstly, take a look at its art style. It's rich in detail and color while having a friendly cartoon look to it.

The second thing is the praise it's already received from the creators of Diablo, Torchlight, Left 4 Dead, and Marvel Heroes.

For instance, David Brevik, creator of Diablo, called Rogue Wizards "one of the most promising RPGs in years." Which might be a bit overstated, but there it is, he apparently said it.

Anyway, I'm telling you about the game now as it's currently on Kickstarter. Spellbind Studios is looking for $70,000 in crowdfunding for work on the game's artwork, new levels, items, monsters, audio, and game modes.

The base of the game is already in place, you see, so at least that much is put together.

Spellbind hopes to have Rogue Wizards finished and ready for a release in March 2016 on iOS, Android, and PC.

If you'd like to put your dosh towards that then you can secure yourself a copy of the game for $15, but only for Windows and Mac.

If you can't afford to put money forward yourself but want to support the game then consider spreading word of its Kickstarter as far as you can.
