    As someone who has followed League of Legends lore for several years, i was quite disappointed as this game's story just feels like a cash grab on the success of the Lux and Sylas comic series. It tries to force a cast of original characters and several weeks of events into a part of Sylas' story that was already finished. They then try to make these characters impactful by completelyAs someone who has followed League of Legends lore for several years, i was quite disappointed as this game's story just feels like a cash grab on the success of the Lux and Sylas comic series. It tries to force a cast of original characters and several weeks of events into a part of Sylas' story that was already finished. They then try to make these characters impactful by completely changing Sylas' character from a lone survivor to a cuddly warm revolution dad. This could have been easily fixed by just continuing Sylas's journey in Freijlord.

    The gameplay itself is enjoyable and complex enough to not get boring over the short span of the game, but also nothing that would make a replay or additional challenges worth it as it fails to deliver the precise combat of such titles as Hades.

    Overall this game falls short in many ways compared to the expected high quality Riot Games is getting known for outside of their main titles in stories, comics and spin-off titles such as Ruined King.

    Even if you are a fan of the Runeterra universe or a fan of indie titles such as Digital Sun's first success Moonlighter, there are simply better, and cheaper, options for both.    … Expand

    Riot Forge and Digital Sun created a good title with "The Mageseeker". The storyline is fun and motivates to keep playing. The battles with the magic are well done and are fun at the beginning. But little by little everything gets a bit repetitive. Also, the controls are not always good and you need a little time to understand everything.

Also, the controls are not always good and you need a little time to understand everything. The graphics and sound are also good, but more could have been done here. In our opinion, the price is also a bit too expensive for the scope. Nevertheless, "The Mageseeker" has become a good game for your platform. Give the game a chance!!!… Expand

    The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story expands the League of Legends universe and whets your appetite for a story that is still being told. It lacks a bit of optimization, but it's pretty fun even though it's so linear.

    The Mageseeker is an enjoyable ARPG with some interesting insights. Unfortunately, a mission design not up to the standards and some technical issues prevent it from aspiring to the Olympus of the genre.

    While the lack of voice acting is something that really disappointed me with how good other aspects are, I still recommend The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story to anyone looking for a quality action RPG with great music and lovely pixel art. As someone who loves Moonlighter, I hope Digital Sun keeps delivering on games like it and The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story going forward.
