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.

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.

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

If you can get past the bugs and performance issues at launch, The Mageseeker proves itself to be yet another strong addition to Riot's growing catalogue of intriguing spin-off games. Sylas's bittersweet quest supplies a compelling story that nicely complements the fast-paced combat and magic-stealing action, providing fans with an enjoyable action experience that fans of 2D action games will want to take note of. We'd give The Mageseeker a high recommendation to anyone looking for another good retro hack 'n' slash for their collection-this one is deeper than it may appear on the surface, and it stands up well next to peers such as Unsighted or Hyper Light Drifter.

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.

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 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.
