Adapting a monument like League of Legends is not an easy task. The small studio Digital Sun manages to deliver a good game but not one without its flaws. The story takes a while to get going, as does the hero's power growth. LoL fans will find The Mageseeker A League of Legends Story an honest but imperfect adaptation.

The Mageseeker is one of those games to create what we call "closet background" in our digital bookstores. An action game with little hints of role-playing, with a simple but effective design, and best of all, it's very, very, very fun.

The Mageseekers certainly has an audience, especially with LoL having over 152 million monthly players. And while I wasn’t aware of Sylas before this game, I did find his story interesting but for as much as I liked him, I loved all the cameos. Being able to see Shyvana in her full-size dragon form was a treat and I could really appreciate the size and majesty of her in that form. Something that just isn’t possible with the top-down perspective of matches in Summoners Rift. Which is why I am all for these games starring the champs from LoL; it allows those personalities to really shine and garner some new fans of the series and its deep lore. While I didn’t love The Mageseekers mainly due to my issues with the overly fast combat and my difficulty keeping track of Sylas when things really got going. However, as a fan of the lore, I enjoyed his heartbreaking story of revenge and redemption.

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is definitely a good action RPG. Once again, it proves that Riot Forge's collaboration with talented developers makes sense, and they can bring stories from the world of League of Legends in a novel way. Still, the levels are often straightforward and would benefit from some additional filler. Because of this, The Mageseeker feels like it hasn't lived up to its full potential.

To say that The Mageseeker is a great surprise would be an understatement in my case. Knowing absolutely nothing about the world of League of Legends, I loved my time with Sylas, so much so that I would be tempted to extend my adventure of this world with other media. Let's face it, it's quite a universe and it's because of games like this and the excellent work of the developer teams that there will always be more followers. An excellent adventure in general that should please many players. Not to be missed if you already like League of Legends, and to be discovered if you don't.

The Mageseeker is definitely a title that could have been great, thanks to the way it expands the Sylas lore in League of Legends. But until a corrective patch comes out to fix the many bugs present, it can't be more than a decent title.

Mageseeker's gorgeous pixel art aesthetic and exciting action combat, paired with interesting mechanics, make this a game that even non-League of Legends fans should check out.

The Mageseeker has consciously drawn its line. It didn't go overboard, but it made an enjoyable game within the known and familiar boundaries of the hack and slash genre. Not to mention the fact that it answers existing questions instead of further complicating the story of League of Legends.

Despite a simple gameplay loop and basic level design, The Mageseeker is a joyous, and addictive game to play. The repetitiveness never wears out the combat, which continues to keep the player fully engaged.

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.

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is a fun action game with a simple yet satisfying combat system and unique boss fights. The story may not be the most intriguing to get players into the League of Legends lore thought.

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is an interesting title that allows you to delve into a very vast world, full of magic and stories to tell. This spin-off allows you to go into detail about the history of some heroes, opening the doors of League of Legends even to those who are not attracted by MOBAs. The development team has managed to create a solid and well-constructed product. The story has a good narrative: it's not perfect, but still interesting. The gameplay is full of action, with different stages and enemies. It starts with simple attacks and moves to complex sets of satisfying combinations.

The Mageseeker is a concentrate of speed and action, penalized only by a monotony of the stages and a lack of variety of content offered in the exploration.

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is a great production derived from the franchise full of good hits. As an action RPG, it's dynamic, fast and has a lot of style, even if it suffers from a not always inspired story and a certain aesthetic pollution. The combat diversity guarantee high fun from beginning to end of the campaign.

A potent combat system and thrilling story are slightly held back by a slow start and rudimentary level design.
