The Mageseeker: Une histoire de League of Legends is the next building block in Riot Forge's ever-expanding League of Legends universe. It's a top-down, story-driven action RPG that tells the tale of Sylas, a magic-sensitive revolutionary who seeks vengeance on the titular Mageseekers after years of being kept in chains. Keen to kickstart a violent uprising alongside his fellow mages, you take control of Sylas across a number of combat-focused chapters while steadily upgrading his abilities and adding allies to his cause.

The storytelling is decent and the cast is quite endearing — but don't go expecting anything too in-depth from The Mageseeker's narrative. Context is dished out across quick conversations between characters, while additional details can be found in scribbled notes, scattered across levels.

Le principal attrait du jeu est son combat Mageseeker-mashing, qui commence simplement avec des combos de base et une esquive, mais évolue vers une danse complexe de destruction élémentaire. Vous voyez, Sylas peut arracher les attaques magiques de ses ennemis et les réutiliser, frappant les faiblesses élémentaires et infligeant de gros dégâts. Les sorts peuvent également être déverrouillés de manière permanente au fur et à mesure de votre progression, vous permettant de personnaliser votre chargement magique avant chaque mission.

Fights are hectic affairs — especially later on — as you'll often be tasked with taking on large groups of foes in relatively small arenas. As such, nailing your dodges and effectively repositioning yourself is crucial, and that's without having to worry about using the right spells at the right time. It all gets very intense, although tougher encounters do feel like they're just throwing more and more of the same enemies at you in order to artificially inflate the challenge.

Still, tight controls make for a satisfying system, even if it can be a bit hard to see what's going on sometimes. The game's pixelated art style is impressively detailed, but all of the visual effects do have a habit of blending together during busy battles.

The Mageseeker est un RPG d'action agréable et expressif qui s'arrête juste avant de dépasser son accueil.
