Mini Review: The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story (PS5) – Gelikte actie-RPG-spin-off rekt dun uit

The Mageseeker: Een League of Legends-verhaal 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.

De hoofdtrekking van het spel is het Mageseeker-mashing-gevecht, dat eenvoudig begint met basiscombo's en een ontwijking, maar evolueert naar een ingewikkelde dans van elementaire vernietiging. Zie je, Sylas kan magische aanvallen van zijn vijanden afrukken en ze hergebruiken, elementaire zwakheden treffen en grote schade aanrichten. Spreuken kunnen ook permanent worden ontgrendeld naarmate je verder komt, zodat je je magische uitrusting voor elke missie kunt aanpassen.

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 is een plezierige, expressieve actie-RPG die zijn welkom bijna niet overtreft.
