Mages of Mystralia is a game that is right up my alley. It features solid gameplay, upgradable abilities, engaging puzzles, a fantastic musical score, and an interesting story.

If Nox and Magicka had a baby, Mages of Mystralia would be it. Fun, easy to get into, it won’t take long before you are swinging magic like a pro as you guide Zia on her adventure, crafted by Ed Greenwood and the team from Borealys Games from Montreal.
Mages of Mystralia is a game that will enchant more than magic spells with its accessible spellcrafting mechanics, sublime soundtrack, and Zelda-like linear progression.
Mages of Mystralia's combat and puzzles are enjoyable and the unique spell crafting system allows for a nearly endless amount of customization.
The basic hack-and-slash action is simple enough to get the job done, but reconfiguring your spells to overcome each puzzle and combat challenge is consistently rewarding
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.
Mages of Mystralia developers did not just create a fairy-tale world, but also filled it with interesting puzzles, characters and story. Puzzles are closely tied to logic and a magical constructor and bring a lot of pleasure. But most importantly, we were presented with a great magical system, which allows you to create the most incredible and effective spells.

Mages of Mystralia is not without its shortcomings, but its gameplay is too fun not to recommend. Through the use of an insanely clever system of spell-crafting, there's just the right amount of challenge in combat and puzzle-solving to be had. By pairing a lighthearted adventure with solid gameplay mechanics, there's something here for everyone.
Mages of Mystralia is an energetic and clever action-RPG, set in a vibrant and colorful land with a dark history.
If you're a fan of adventure and/or Metroidvania games, you'll definitely have a good time with Mages of Mystralia. Trying to complete it will take you around 15-20 hours which is quite a decent time for an indie release. We really liked the way the game handles upgrades and opening up new skills for you to use, and we're sure you' enjoy it as well.
Even with the way my experience ended and then resumed, I still found the game a joy to play. Mages of Mystralia is a solid title that offers a classic fantasy story with heart and a great magic system that I will surely jump back into once the game does get an update. The story might even surprise players just a tad. Overall, every time I jump into the game, I have a blast experimenting with magic and it’s all wrapped around a game that is wonderful. I can’t wait to jump back in for the last hour or two and finish it up.
In this pulled out 3D action adventure you’ll play as Zia, a young girl who finds one day that she’s a mage when she accidentally sets her house on fire...
