    Mageseeker delights with action-packed combat if you can overlook the crude story and some superfluous features.

    The Mageseeker is a game with genuinely entertaining combat system and an interesting story that suffers from painfully repetitive level design.

    Beautiful action game with great music and a solid story for fans a not fans of League of Legends. A good way to put a spin off.

    The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is a bite-sized adventure and decent enough 2D action game that will keep players entertained during its short playtime. While it isn’t overly mechanically complex, mastering its magic system is rewarding. However, those looking for a more substantial story which remains consistent with Riot Games’ previous lore concerning Sylas may feel a bit underwhelmed or disappointed.

    The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is a harrowing combination of unimaginative, tired game design and stale writing. I hate tearing the game down because I believe the developers worked hard on it, but this is a League of Legends game that is going to attract fans of the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA). While this $30, 15-hour game feels like 45 hours to complete, that’s $2 per hour of pain. I couldn’t wait for the game to be over, and if I weren’t reviewing it, I would have quit by the fifth hour. I don’t care how much of a League of Legends fan you are, attractive pixel art and decent boss battles aren’t enough to justify this investment.

    It has everything to be a must have for every League of Legends's fans, but finally is a big disappointment.

    There are a few typos in the game’s UI, like the status effect ‘inmune’, or receiving a blessing with an extra S. But despite a few small issues, I otherwise found this Riot Forge title to be another smooth ride through League’s increasingly complex canon. The Mageseeker makes the smart move of setting up some truly hateable villains, and then lets me smash their hopes and dreams — what more could I want from a game about toppling the elite?

The character is too slow to react, which makes the game-play very frustrating. It's a shame because, except this, the game-play is original and pretty well done, the artistic direction is nice and the story is interesting (even though pretty basic). In the end, it's overall a nice game but a bit expensive (mostly the deluxe version which isn't interesting enough to add 10 euros in my opinion).… Full Review »

    Nice combat, though sometimes you'll have to spam an AA to kill an enemy which is tedious and not having animation cancel in 2023 is never aNice combat, though sometimes you'll have to spam an AA to kill an enemy which is tedious and not having animation cancel in 2023 is never a good thing. But battle mage fantasy is executed very well.

    Story is great, it's pretty simple but it is executed perfectly. All the character are believable and the whole main character development arc as well.

    Pixel art is great, not so good as Blasphemous, but level design is still clean and nice, Boss fights look especially pretty.

    Like the fact that the game allows you to fully upgrade yourself and run a few missions with it.

    Want to specifically point out the J4 and Shivana boss fight, one of the best I've had in many years.

    "Nocturne" boss fight sucks tho. It's just a reskin from a previous boss    … Full Review »

The storyline is not complex, but it make a nice background to understand decision's and process of changing - not only Sylas but all teammates. Yeah, it's a little buggy but there are no problem with finish game. A little bit empty for my opinion and surely way, way overprice. If you like e.g Moonlighter, you should wait for some discount and try it for your own.… Full Review »
