for mac download The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story™

He has trouble finding a place to sleep, let alone swaying anyone to his cause.īefore long, though, this rebellious himbo is rescued by a much more reliable band of mages, who provide him sanctuary and shelter. Sylas starts out relatively weak, fresh out of prison and distrustful of everyone around him. I duck into melee and score hits so that I can build up my mana bar, dash across the battlefield to steal potent spells from a caster in the back line, and then use my own formidable arsenal of spells to clear the battlefield of giant golems and elite troops. And there’s no shortage of ass to beat, since Sylas is Public Enemy Number One.Īs I run through each level, I’m incessantly attacked by wild beasties, Mageseeker agents of the state, and terrified soldiers.

This makes the game either a tense and tactical blitz in which I have to carefully consider each move and elemental spells I deploy, or a brainless button mash that lets me beat ass to get to the next story beat. The Mageseeker’s difficulty is very malleable I can adjust Sylas’ damage, his health, and the strength of incoming attacks to my liking. I found The Mageseeker to play much better with a controller than a keyboard and mouse, especially when Sylas’ positioning and direction makes the difference between life and death. You control him from a top-down perspective in this action-RPG using his giant chains to strike enemies, but also to hookshot across rooftops and tear down enemy towers in melee combat. The Mageseeker builds on that play style. In League of Legends, Sylas is a bruiser who fights by swinging his giant chains and stealing magic from enemies, turning their ultimate abilities to his own purposes. As the game continues, the question becomes not whether the new revolution against the Mageseekers of Demacia will succeed - it seems inevitable with a cause this just and a cast so determined - but what kind of world will be built in the aftermath. Mageseekers are agents of the government, empowered by the hypocritical nobility to hunt and persecute mages - unless their magic can be exploited to the benefit of the state.
