Phyken Media has announced the upcoming release of Wizard Ops for the iPhone/iPod Touch. There are four wizards that protect a vast kingdom. Each wizard has the ability to control one of the four elements. The wizards together protect the kingdom until they are strained by years of war. Finally, there was a glorious wedding and a little relief from the war, until the Queen was killed by magic. The King flipped out and banned all magic from the kingdom and imprisoned the four wizards.

The wizard protectors were gone from the kingdom, which allowed a mad scientist to gain control of the kingdom. The mad scientist has kidnapped the princess and now the King has to get her back. The King quickly realizes the only way to save his daughter is to free the four wizards he imprisoned. Players have to free the fire wizard and reunite the Wizard Ops team. Players can choose from 15 different weapons to fight their way through the kingdom to release the fire wizard.

If you are into shooter games on the iPhone, be sure to check out Wizard Ops when it becomes available.
