Pixel Wizard is a free online 2D rogue-lite arena shooter where you control a lone wizard fighting through increasingly brutal waves of enemies. Inspired by Brotato, the core loop is simple: survive each day, pick up items between rounds, and build a spell-slinging loadout strong enough to handle whatever the game throws at you next. Every run plays differently depending on which items you collect.

What keeps Pixel Wizard interesting is the item system. Some pickups are genuinely powerful, others come with nasty curses that force you to rethink your whole strategy on the fly. Between waves you have a short window to assess your build and grab something new, so decision-making matters as much as reflexes. The pixel art combat is snappy and readable, meaning you can track projectiles and enemy positions without the screen becoming a confusing mess. Newcomers should prioritize movement-boosting items early, since staying alive long enough to build a strong kit is half the battle.

Pixel Wizard is a great pick for fans of single-player roguelite games, wave survival challenges, and browser-based action games with real replay value. If you enjoy free online games like Vampire Survivors or Brotato-style shooters, this one slots right into that category. Search terms like '2D wizard survival game', 'free rogue-lite browser game', and 'online wave survival adventure' all lead here for good reason. No download, no cost, just pick it up and see how many days you can survive.
