![]() Magical folk are, for some reason never thoroughly detailed in any Harry Potter material, sworn to secrecy, though they never seem to do a great job of keeping quiet.Īll of this will be explained in the game’s opening few moments, of course, but, for those who are interested in the finer details, there are a few story elements at play which aren’t directly divulged in the game itself. The central concept revolves around a near-apocalyptic event in the Harry Potter universe referred to as, “The Calamity.” This happening caused a ton of magical objects to be released into the world, and the player steps into the role of a witch or wizard tasked with capturing these rogue items before they expose the magical world to all of muggle-kind. The gameplay seems eager to contrive reasons for its existence, and, while there is indeed some sort of narrative to be found in Wizards Unite, the game isn’t overly-eager to present any of these elements beyond the initial set up. If you wanted to describe this game to an unaware friend in three words, it could quite literally be summed up as just, “Harry Potter Pokémon.” While PoGo was a form of wish fulfillment for wannabe Pokémon trainers the world over, nobody really asked for a weird, slightly tortured rip-off set in the wizarding world of everyone’s favorite cupboard-dwelling boy who lived. That said, Wizards Unite has across the board been unfavorably compared to Pokémon Go, and the criticism is, in some cases, justified.
