Aard and Wyzz: The rise of minions is a local cooperative action-adventure video game where two players will take on the role of the boss Ardwiz, a tyrant wizard recently divided in two after the unexpected rebellion of his minions, with a lot of extra hours in his body. These two mages will have to work together, using their magical abilities and strength, as well as merging at certain times to enhance their skills and defeat the senior staff of the office. Aard will be the melee and dynamic movement specialist. Wyzz will dominate ranged combat through his magic orb. Through real-time combat, they will have to use their skills to defeat the enemies and bosses of each department, where strategy and cooperation will be the key to victory. This local co-op takes place in a magical office tower, making a satire of the classic figure of the all-powerful magician and the corporate power figures of today's world. At some stages of the game, players will be able to briefly merge into the all-powerful wizard Ardwiz, winner of the best boss award for 200 consecutive years (voted by himself) and professional minion exploiter. The player controlling Aard will be in charge of movement, while the player controlling Wyzz will dominate the ranged attack.
