The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story Reviews
Mageseeker is a slog that even die-hard League of Legends fans will have trouble getting through.
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.

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story manages to retain the essence of what it is to play Sylas, but suffers from consistency issues with its storytelling.
Even if this project related to Riot Games is a big step forward for the developers, Moonlighter fans will probably think of it as a step back. It's a neat game and its fun mechanics work great, but the gameplay often feels monotonous.

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.

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 an enjoyable, expressive action RPG that stops just shy of outstaying its welcome.
The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is fairly straightforward, but it nails the feeling of playing as Sylas. The story goes to some interesting places and is accompanied by some great bosses and a momentous finale.
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.

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 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.

Solid and definitely has an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.
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 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 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: 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.

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: 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 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 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.
