This game was reviewed on   PlayStation Portable PlayStation MiniAt its core, Wizorb is based on one of the simplest games out there, commonly known as Breakout. In Breakout, players are given the task of bouncing a ball off of a paddle at the bottom of the screen, with the objective of breaking an increasing number of bricks located at the top. Originally released in 1976, Breakout has seen a number of attempts to clone its success, with the most popular perhaps being the Brick Breaker game that comes pre loaded on Blackberry cell phones. Wizorb, a PS Mini developed by Beatshapers Ltd, is marketed as an attempt to update the formula for modern gamers by including RPG Lite elements seen in other games such as the Puzzle Quest series.

This essentially means that the basis of the game remains unchanged but the players are given a storyline and the chance to level up their characters as the game progresses. Unfortunately, Wizorb’s RPG elements are near nonexistent, aside from aesthetic details. Whilst the setting would fit most traditional RPGs, with quaint villages, elderly wizards and fiendish monsters, Wizorb doesn’t contain any real RPG mechanics to speak of. There is no ability to level up your player or earn new equipment, and frankly, the character you start off with is exactly the same as the one you end the game with. RPGs are known largely for their character building and sense of progression, and Wizorb contains none of this. Whilst this failing doesn’t necessarily make Wizorb a bad game, especially if you enjoy smashing bricks with a fiendishly mobile ball, it does make for a rather shallow experience.

The title of Wizorb becomes fairly self explanatory as soon as you start playing the game, due to the fact that you play as a wizard who can transform himself into an orb. This orb is used to break blocks and boxes and open treasure chests. His wand is used as the paddle and is also the source of a number of power ups, such as fireballs and teleportation, all of which aid you in your quest. The motives behind the wizard’s actions aren’t explained in great detail; but, from what I gathered, a series of towns and locales in the Kingdom of Gorudo have been destroyed  by an evil sorcerer, and its populace has been turned into monsters.
