Mage Seeker: History League of Legends

Who wouldn’t know League of Legends from Riot Games, which has become one of the most popular esports games since 2009. Thanks to the reboot of the game universe in 2014, and therefore the creation of the previously missing history of individual characters, we have already seen several comics, music, an animated series Arcana and finally other games based on stories from this world. This way, more people will be able to enjoy the rich history and characters of League of Legends without putting themselves through a harsh routine. Especially when the creation of the game is entrusted to the hands of developers. Moonlight, Digital Sun Company. We are talking about replenishing the portfolio of games from the world of League of Legends called Mage Seekerwhich allows Digital Sun to tell the story of a revolutionary magic thief Silas Action RPG style. And I must say, they tell this story with pleasure.

For uninitiated – The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story takes you to Demacia. The latter is generally considered a fair and noble kingdom, home to characters such as the fair sorceress Lux and the staunch royal knight Garen. However, it is hidden dark secret. The land of Demacia may be rich in magic, but its rulers feared what they could not control. Thus the Seekers of Magicians were born; magic inquisitorswho were looking for magicians to recruit or imprison until death.

And so we come to our basic figure. Silas was also recruited as a mage hunter when he was still young, but when the unnecessary cruelty of his colleagues turned him violently against them, he was imprisoned in a dark prison. jail. Only after fifteen long years did the time come for his revenge. A strange event shakes the Demacian kingdom, and the soldiers, mages, and nobles are in turmoil. The king was killed and everyone thinks Silas did it. That he doesn’t care. The only one, what he sees is an opportunity to fight the mages who have imprisoned him and the others. And so the crusade begins, the purpose of which is to destroy the so-called Seekers of magicians, those same inquisitors, and at the same time to find rebellious magicians who they will help.

Silas the story is interesting in that it represents the dark and complex side of Demacia, which previously seemed happy and noble. As the best in all this, I would stuck outthat Digital Sun does not get rid of its characteristic style. Sure, the characters in Mage Seeker look more dramatic and less cartoonish than in Moonlight, but the character portraits, pixelated the top view and gameplay feel fantastically familiar. And all this fits perfectly into the environment of League of Legends.

This is a wonderful addition to the wonderful soundtrack. He took charge of Gareth Cocker, whom fans may know not only from the previous League of Legends spin-off, the strategic Ruined King, but also from the Ori series. Whether it’s about combat noisedramatic cut-scene, or maybe just exploration, The Mageseeker has great music that helps convey the atmosphere of the adventure and takes it to a new level at every turn level.

What would I like the game in the case of a story and progress scolded, fast start. Digital Sun is probably counting on players to know a bit about the world of League of Legends. So if you have no idea who Silas, Lux, Garen and the whole world are Runeterra, you might get lost at first. Since I myself do not play lolka, I ran into exactly this problem. I can imagine it though fans the series will grunt with bliss. But as I mentioned, the initial loss in the story for the uninitiated passes quickly because the story and characters are so good. presented.

If you don’t know Silas’ basic principle in League of Legends. So he is equipped with magic shackles with magic with the power he can wield, he can steal other characters’ abilities and use them as he sees fit. And you can enjoy it here just the same, but a little Krata z style. God of War. You will roam Demacia, beating enemies with Silas’ fists and chains. Also, Silas can use chains catch and pull towards the enemy for a jump attack. This maneuver serves as a good basis for combat throughout the game.

Really funny however, this only begins with detecting magic-wielding enemies or beings that emit a certain magical element. You can copy their abilities from them and actively use them in battle. In addition, each magical creature has a certain rank. element. And as usual, one element has a weakness against another element. For example, using the explosive power of a fire frog against ice mages, or using a rushing wind spell against ground enemies is intuitive and makes you think fast. Especially when you jump from enemy to enemy, pummeling them with both physical and magical attacks.

Once upon a time story in advance, the rebel camp will also be unlocked. As you play, it will fill up with characters you’ve helped along the way. One advantage is that every spell or magical ability you encounter at least once They stole, you can turn into a permanent charm for your use. This makes collecting spells even more fun and interesting. In addition, you can gradually increase your capabilities. constant spells to better prepare you for the traps you may encounter. The battle plan before each mission you complete will also help you with this. Forward you can see what elements you will encounter and choose the appropriate spells accordingly. However, they are bound to your mana. What stronger the magic is that it consumes more. The game is so perfectly balanced that it forces you to mix and match both hand-to-hand combat and the use of magic. capabilities.

And of course, even more combat options are gradually opening up for you. Next extension it brings mages that you help along the way and join you in return. They can then be equipped for missions that complement Silas’ abilities. One companion allows you to perform an area effect ice attack at the end of the combo, another allows you to follow up with a lightning strike chain attack at close range. General so between regular melee combat, stolen spells, persistent spells and these companion expansions, there are tons of ways to fight and various enemies against which you can develop the best strategies.

It’s also important studying places that Silas vacates. And Silas’ natural abilities also contribute to this. In many areas, you need to cross chasms or reach remote places. For this, Silas can hook chains on the anchor points and pull yourself to the other side. While limited to platforming at first, you can discover secret nooks and crannies hiding various treasures that will help Silas improve his abilities. There is also a field in many battles fragmented and Silas will need to combine combat with this move, using chains to take down his enemies effectively. You must be fastbut it’s nice when you can do it. However, I must say that in the later phase of the game, the fights are quite tense and confusing.

Anyway, I was definitely intrigued by the Mage Seeker. Digital Sun has already proven that it understands what drives action. RPG entertaining, and here they applied their skills to perfection. I mean almost. I’m a bit tormented by the thought that the title could use its potential even more with the inclusion of magic. I think that there would definitely be a place for calmer passages with logical ones. puzzleswith which the player could breathe a sigh of relief after a hectic fight with a bunch of enemies, ending in a phased battle with boss.

However, it is also about Very a great indie game that doesn’t offend in the slightest even with 15 hours of playing time. The game is complete, no technical problems, with fun fights and thefts, good movement system, an ever-expanding and improving arsenal, and a wonderful soundtrack that accompanies another stunning visual and story interpretation of the world of League of Legends. Mage Seeker is just fun. And whoever you are fans League of Legends or not, this game is worth playing.
