The universe and the tradition of league of legends is very rich and prolific. This collection of stories and myths has been providing quality content for quite some time thanks to the magic and personality it exudes. Added to this is the large mass of fans that he drags behind him. Last year, without going too far, Arkane, the series taking place in the battle arena the most famous in the world has won many praises from all over the world. Riot Games he undoubtedly knows how to take advantage of the rich stories of League of Legend without saturating the community.
stories everywhere
By following the marked path, Riot Games trusted Digital Suns Games, creators of Moonlighter, to develop The Mageseeker. The two works of Digital Suns Games are very similar, both action RPGs with a very characteristic pixel-art style. Both with zenithal or isometric view and in the case of Moonlighter very well executed. Did they also manage to succeed with The Mageseeker? We’ll see…
Like we said The Mage Seeker it’s a Roleplay an aerial view that recounts the adventures and misfortunes of one of the 162 champions that make up the League of Legend universe. Our protagonist will be Sylas of Dregbourne. Born in the poorest neighborhood of Demacia, was first used as a weapon against magicians due to its ability to detect magic in people. But this power turned against him. His ability to detect magic was only the first of his many gifts, and when his power awakened, his friends and masters
destroy the chains
Sylas is taken prisoner and chained. sentenced live tied up, in the grip of his chains for the rest of his life in absolute ostracism. But a spirit like hers isn’t easy to break, and she’s determined to betray her only and best friend to escape. The escape of his captors, breaking the chains that bind him, is the beginning of this story. A story full of anger and the search for justice through a vengeance that will never satisfy Sylas. The bone chains and the chains that Sylas still possesses during his escape, will become his best weapon in this fight against the witch hunters.
Play with fire, ice and many other elements.
THE stomach finder It has a rather original combat system. Our goal is to advance through the various missions while learning spells stolen from enemies to enrich our arsenal. Although our basic attack is the chains, these can be combined with several spells to destroy everything.
So we have a basic attack and a powerful chain attack, as well as the possibility of stealing spells from enemies and using them against them. This is combined with a talent tree that allows us to improve physical or magic attacks according to our style of play. But we will always have to shoot spells to weaken our enemies or powerful attacks to eliminate defenses.
hit or spell
Each spell responds to a specific element and we must combine them correctly, we have arcane, ice, fire, wind, electricity or nature. We will have to draw or use the correct spell, for example, if we face an ice creature we will have to attack it with fire to maximize our choices. Chain attacks also have combos that will vary depending on who accompanies us on our adventure.
And it is that Sylas You are not alone in this fight and you will be joined by outlaws with special abilities. These outlaws do not fight, but they give us unique abilities for chains, and attacks
Very limiting structure
And it is that in The Mages Seeker we have a camp A main base filled with secrets to unlock, outlaws to upgrade, and altars, forges and other upgrades to discover. But to leave the camp we must do it through a war table that will show us the available missions. There is no exploration of the world as such and this greatly limits the experience. Therefore, at the end of a mission, there is no chance of backtrack (return), missions start and end…and when they do, they don’t warn you and take you to camp without warning.
Although it is true that we have several types of missions: the main ones where we will advance in history and on the way we will free outlaws. The secondaries to collect consumables that serve us to buy improvements and finally “rescue” missions that will add recruits to our outlaws to improve their grab Al fight.
However, all of this fan of possibilities it does not make the game fun and varied. In the end, I feel like we’re always in the same loop, and the story is the only thing that keeps me going, despite the gameplay.
more is not better
Technically the game is basicbut it works very well. The isometric, almost zenithal perspective, the pixel-art style and the narration are enough not to miss anything. Its sound section is incredible, sensational and epic music always anticipating what is to come. Its artistic conception is obviously defined by League of Legends
However, their level design It’s not the best in the world. Outside of limited exploration, the area design is fairly flat, with a few hidden areas, but nothing else. All the zones are linear, without secondary access roads and in the end they sin by always offering the same approach. This means that after a few hours nothing surprises you and it becomes something monotone.
conclusion
The Mageseeker is an ode to all lovers of Legend League. With a rich, well-told story that gives meaning and context to Sylas’ ideals of revenge. He is not one of the most charismatic characters in the saga, but thanks to this game we can understand everything a little better. The Mageseeker is a Roleplay of action, but gives priority and gives great importance to the narrative, acquiring a particular meaning and Protagonism. Don’t be in a hurry to complete a mission, get drenched, and read, because his storytelling is excellent. Its pixel-art style breaks with the aesthetic of the original game, wanting to distance itself from the roots of LOL, but respecting the concept art original. With its rich lore and nods and inclusions of other champions from the original game, it’s sure to delight any fan. Her gameplay However, it does not exalt a work that could have been a reference, but which nevertheless remains a very good game.
