Magequit is a very straightforward game. The objective is to defeat all enemy mages. You can do a free for all match or set up two teams. There’s no story mode, only a single player mode where you can fight local matches / play against AI. Or, you can play online with other players.
The online mode offers gems that allow a player to customize their mage. In my opinion, it’s also the epitome of “not toxic.” The worst thing that can happen is that sometimes people team up against you in a free for all match (there is no doubt in my mind its kids with their friends or a parent with their kid). There’s little to be done for a player that has spells from all available elements whizzing at them.
That leads me to the reason why I took off a point; the AI will focus you. I’ve put a few hours into the game and I still can’t reliably beat a mid-level AI free for all because of all the spells flying at me. This isn’t really a game you can play with AI; the online mode is better.
I should point out that this game shines the most when it’s chaotic ie with more than 3 players.
While I’m not crazy about the art and I would like more levels, the game does well in satisfying the imagination of what’s going on.
There is strategy as you pick your spells between rounds. There are a total of eight elements, each with their own spell tree. Mages pick spells based on a draft. As a result, you might not get the best spell. This is what adds dramatically to Magequit’s replayability—that and its online mode.
If you see it on sale and what you read sounds fun to you, I’d give Magequit a shot for sure! I would recommend it to a person who either a) wants a game with a lot of local 3+ player potential, or b) someone with NSO who would participate in online matches.… Expand
