It can get repetitive through out but the boss battles more than make up for it and are easily the highlight of each mission.
   I recommend people just start the game on Hard. Normal is too easy, Hard is pretty damn challenging, if there was an in-between difficulty to start out, it' be ideal.… Expand

   In addition to deepening the characters, the game has several references to LoL universe lore and expands it.
   
   The game tells the trajectory of Sylas of Dregbourne from the moment of the prison escape to Warriors cinematic, in addition to that several documents found during the game tell more about the lore of other characters in addition to mentioning others.
   
   There is also a hidden champion as an optional Boss that I won't say to avoid spoilers.
   
   In terms of gameplay the game is excellent, at first the commands left me a little confused but I quickly managed to adapt to them, Sylas has his moveset updated with each new type of champion he finds thanks to the mechanics of copying enemy skills.
   
   The stages are very beautiful and detailed, combine this with the soundtrack that matches the environment very well and you can have a good immersion, especially during the boss fights.
   
   The Mageseeker is a good example of an indie game and would love a sequel.… Expand

   Riot Forge and Digital Sun created a good title with "The Mageseeker". The storyline is fun and motivates to keep playing. The battles withRiot 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. 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

   Pros:
   I enjoy a good lore dump and some interaction with champions from LOL.
   I enjoy the visual style.
   Spell stealing and element counters are fun.
   The combos around recruits, spell stealing, chain grapples etc are awkward at first but then very fun to pull off.
   
   Cons:
   Fairly one dimensional boss fights that you just beat after 1-2 attempts even in the hardest places. Parts are clearly not thought out, like Garen sundering the ground then he tried to path towards you if you switch sides.. wtf. More thought put into the champions using their lol abilities then the fights feeling interesting. Often you have to spell steal bosses to get some high damage move but the game doesnt really tell you when you can do this as at other times you cant steal anything from them. Sometimes its not obvious at all what the spell you've stolen does (I still dont know what the wisteria barrier looking thing does).
   Repetitive as fk, half the levels are the same, even the main mission ones.
   The roguelike side missions are bad, uninteresting and repetitive. Might have been good with more time.
   Game runs like ass on switch, the sound gets slow/glitchy in places, the game crashes multiple times a night when I play, Ive died and been stuck at 0 hp without being able to move..
   Honestly the dialogue is weak, Sylas is a **** one moment then the next hes nice. Any emotion thats meant to come across doesnt.
   Linear, very very linear.
   
   This game is mediocre and should have released several months later.… Expand

I couldn't really connect with the protagonist the connections between the characters feels very forced. On the combat side, is very very basic and becomes repetitive really quick. The powers don't feel satisfying, they lack impact.… Expand

DLC on launch scamming more money from customers with this extra content not even available/accessible until late/end game. Convenient how they skipped over that little condition in the game sale page instead just saying it’s after mission x.
   
   The game has more bugs than acceptable for a Riot backed/associated IP game. So far first 2 hours I’ve ran into:
   
   1) button remapping fails to trigger action after remapping requires game restart 2) in/game mechanic janky (frustrating kind) where certain objects you need to hook on to do not trigger hook function unless you move/pan screen manually.
   
   3) game failing to register hitbox with certain stolen spells on enemy (resulting in nil registered hits on enemy target even though animations trigger). At this stage I ding even know if this is by design for certain spells that are invulnerable to targets you stole from. I don’t think so.… Expand

However, the exposition, story, and enemy types all get very stale by the end game. It feels silly that there is even progression involved or sidequests when the boss fights barely take any actual strategy and in essence you just have to beat down the meatballs and dodge watered down bullet hell mechanics.
   
   Would not buy again. Would definitely recommend if you do buy, to wait for this to go on a $10 or $5 sale as that is what it is worth., No replayability, can't get 8 hours of my life back.… Expand
