    Mageseeker is perhaps my favorite thing to come out of Riot Forge publishing yet. Digital Sun has already proven that they have a good grasp of what makes an action-RPG fun, but they put their chops to great work here, bending a highly interesting corner of League of Legends lore to their style. Sylas fits them well, and they make his story sing in turn. Between compelling ability-stealing combat, chain-flinging traversal, an ever-expanding and upgradeable arsenal, and a beautiful musical score guiding another awesome visual and narrative interpretation of League of Legends, Mageseeker is an incredible time. Whether you’re a fan of League of Legends or not, this is a journey worth seeing through to the end.

    The Mageseeker is another reason to be excited about where Riot are going to take League of Legends in the future.

    Riot Forge has an incredible track record of matching studios with the right project, and this is the best example yet. It is such a strong execution of an idea that it ultimately suffers for being underscoped. Had The Mageseeker had the full force of Riot behind it I can easily see it being a game of the year contender, but it feels like the publisher isn’t ready to go all-in on these outside projects yet. I don’t think Sylas’ story should end here, and I’m excited to see what Digital Sun does with the world of Runeterra next.

    The Mageseeker is a concentrate of speed and action, penalized only by a monotony of the stages and a scarce variety of contents offered in the exploration. Thankfully, the very deep and properly layered battle system manages to counter this issue. In the 15 hours needed to finish the adventure, The Mageseeker will certainly not encourage replayability or backtracking, but will be able to put your skills to the test even in secondary missions. In short, the sum of the parts makes this League of Legends spin-off worthy of being played even by those who are not a strict connoisseur of the Riot universe.

    The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is an extremely fun and enjoyable game, perfect for both League of Legends fans and newcomers. It stands out as a unique and individual game, and might even attract some people to the famous MOBA, as its beautiful story and charming environments will surely draw the attention of more than one RPG fan. Despite its flaws, its experience is highly recommended since it will only take you about 12 hours to complete it.

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

    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.

Desde el momento en que comencé a jugar, quedé atrapado en su mundo de fantasía y magia. La mecánica del juego es fácil de entender pero desafiante de dominar, lo que lo hace divertido y emocionante.

    El arte y la música del juego son impresionantes. Los gráficos son vibrantes y coloridos, y los personajes están detallados y bien diseñados. La música es cautivadora y se adapta perfectamente al ambiente del juego, aumentando la inmersión en la experiencia.

    La historia del juego es intrigante y bien escrita. Me encantó la manera en que los personajes y la trama se desarrollaban a lo largo del juego. La historia también tiene un montón de giros y sorpresas que mantienen al jugador en constante tensión.

    En general, Mageseeker es un juego fantástico que recomendaría a cualquiera. La combinación de su jugabilidad, su arte y música excepcionales, y su historia bien escrita hacen de este juego una delicia.    … Expand

    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    … Expand

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).… Expand

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.… Expand
