The Mageseeker is a simple but fun game. Despite taking an existing experience, it manages to satiate the desire to know more of this universe through relatively accessible experiences. Whether you're a LoL fan who wants to see Sylas' story explored in a game of their own, or just a fan of Action RPG pixel art, it's a proposal capable of reaching good times, even if it doesn't reach the level of the biggest indie references.

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story comes together to deliver yet another great off-shoot offering of the League of Legends brand. If an action RPG that forces you to be calculated in your approach that is married with an engrossing story about a social revolution sounds appealing to you then this is one to pick up.

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is a fun and recommendable ARPG game set in the world of League of Legends, just like we could see with the popular Netflix series Arcane, only this time we'll experience the events embodying Sylas, learning more about his past, about his ambitions and his goals. A game with great and careful graphic and sound sections, as well as a story that can be played perfectly even if we are not fans of the franchise, since it becomes quite interesting and encourages the player to continue playing to discover all its secrets and explaining the plot. all those important details of the LOL world.

There are a few typos in the game’s UI, like the status effect ‘inmune’, or receiving a blessing with an extra S. But despite a few small issues, I otherwise found this Riot Forge title to be another smooth ride through League’s increasingly complex canon. The Mageseeker makes the smart move of setting up some truly hateable villains, and then lets me smash their hopes and dreams — what more could I want from a game about toppling the elite?

The Mageseeker is an enjoyable action RPG experience if you're into 2D pixel art, fun-if-simple action mechanics where you take magic & sling it back, and everything in-between. The League of Legends lore expanding of Demacia and its cast are also a treat, but I'm honestly in it for the simple gameplay loop and the challenges it poses along the way. Keep at it with these spin-off bangers, Riot Forge!

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is a great invitation for those who want to know more or simply start their journey through the rich mythological world of Runeterra. With satisfying and exciting combat, this aspect is a good draw for anyone who enjoys action games. It's not formidable, but it shows the quality of Riot Forge's ability to create experiences with different approaches using League of Legends intellectual property.

The Mageseeker A League of Legends Story fulfills its goal and gives us an ambitious, lovingly crafted story that Riot Games MOBA fans will love. We only regret that his proposal is somewhat tarnished by a combat with a lot of potential, but repetitive and by a level design too flat.

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is another compelling spin-off from Riot Forge. Despite some imperfections, it offers fun gameplay, a well-realized world and a likable, if headstrong, protagonist.

Mageseeker is perhaps my favorite thing to come out of Riot Forge publishing yet. Digital Sun has already proven that they have a good grasp of what makes an action-RPG fun, but they put their chops to great work here, bending a highly interesting corner of League of Legends lore to their style. Sylas fits them well, and they make his story sing in turn. Between compelling ability-stealing combat, chain-flinging traversal, an ever-expanding and upgradeable arsenal, and a beautiful musical score guiding another awesome visual and narrative interpretation of League of Legends, Mageseeker is an incredible time. Whether you’re a fan of League of Legends or not, this is a journey worth seeing through to the end.

Mageseeker is crafted with care to appeal for the League of Legends fans who are picking up this game to follow Sylas through his past, with an engaging gameplay that just fits his character, but it sadly fell short in terms of the story telling which made the point of this game weaker.

The guys from Digital Sun show us that Moonlighter was not a flash in the pan and with this The Mageseeker they bring us another quite enjoyable product that will also delight lovers of the League of Legends universe. Although those who are not fans of this universe will miss a greater ambition in the project, the truth is that it is a very enjoyable product independently and accessible to all types of audiences.
