Fun little game.

Mages of Mystralia’s colorful atmosphere and great spell mechanics are more than enough to make up for a slightly muted narrative.

Mages of Mystralia, as one of the biggest indie prospects of 2017, presents an amazing adventure that, by an incredible magic crafting system and a gorgeous setting, offers an unforgettable journey, which will everlast with deep attachment.

A good indie game that already deserves a sequel. With beautiful graphics and fluid gameplay, the game provides an excellent experience in the well-developed fantasy world, although it could have deepened the content where it would value it even more. Character evolution is mega overpower at the end, making gameplay too easy. The inserted puzzles are interesting, the combats are challenging (in the beginning, in the end it gets very easy) and the narrative together with the background are very fun. It's worth a new game+ in hardcore mode. Extra content and more complex challenges are most welcome.

Action RPG style. Colorful and pretty graphics, The spell mechanic is cool and by itself is worth the time you will spend with the game. The history is short and does not finish in a meaningful way and that is super lame. It leaves room for Mystralia 2.0. It was worth my time and never bore me.

Excellent little game. You can finish the story in just under ten hours, but this is a quality title with a creative spellcasting system. Beautiful art, gorgeous soundtrack and atmosphere, challenging puzzles, and adorable characters. Overall, a great old school ARPG.

Mages of Mystralia mixes clever spellcasting and magical customization in a fun fantasy realm that players won’t want to leave.

Mages of Mystralia is a cracking game. It successfully captures the feel of 16 bit adventures and combines them with a fantastic spellcrafting system and the sidequests and character development of modern action RPGs. It isn’t the longest game and some may find the price a little steep given how cheap so many PC games are, but it definitely deserves to do well and I would highly recommend picking it up, even if you wait until a sale discount.

Great game ! Love the spellcrafting system, you can mix and customize anything and make it very personal. I think zia is a very likeable character and the game is charming and colorful. It's also supported by a beautiful soundtrack. I strongly recommend it :)

While the magic system that is the core of Mages of Mystralia is outstanding, the rest of it can use some of that creativity as well. It is a game where a sequel may be due, to add to what Borealys Games has made here and really bring this world to life.

While Mages of Mystralia might not live up to its full potential, the game has some charm and is fun enough to be worth a look. The $20 price tag is also pretty solid.

A decent Zelda-like game which needs some time to really get going and won’t dazzle you with its beauty. [09/2017, p.73]

Clocking in at a modest six hours after an average first playthrough, Mages of Mystralia still leaves much to be explored with the plethora of hidden chests, optional puzzles, and a special mage trial combat event to take part in. Though unfortunately it feels more so for the sake of clearing the way to a 100% completion rating, as opposed to needing these items for the quest. With that said, those first six hours of Mages of Mystralia stir up a lot of the same feelings as the old-school games that inspired it, offering a spirited and endearing romp with a charming mage and her impressively complex magical abilities.

Quite simply one of the funnest games to have come out this year. Everything from the soundtrack to the magic system are all really well built. The storyline is fun and though the game isnt that long it leaves you wanting more. Great game!

This game is amazing in many way. The possibility to create your own spell is open and will test your creativity and your skill. The graphic are superb and colorful and the adventure is well design and there is no doubt in my mind that you will have a great time exploring the magical world of mystralia

Mages of Mystralia a funny game which reminds of the golden classics of console playing. After a few hours of playing it gets slightly boring, because there is no exploration but just puzzle solving in exactly the order which the developers have intended. The game itself is quite short, and replaying is no fun at all.

Pros: The game has unique skill system. Playable on most PC from low to high end (not onboard GPU). Cons: Unable to adjust Resolutions (16:9 only) and AA. Sound and music are boring. No highlight NPCs who gave you quests and no map area. The puzzles are not easy at the beginning.
SummaryAccompany Zia as she strikes off to train and learn to control her magical abilities that had her exiled. Journey across the lands to meet other exiled mages and uncover runes with magical properties that can be combined into millions of different possibilities, letting you come up with completely new and incredible spells.
