Mages of Mystralia

Agreement—

Mages of Mystralia's spellcrafting system is a distinctive, signature mechanic. The appeal of the game lies in keeping things just interesting enough to compel the player forward in a colourful setting – finding new runes to unlock new spell possibilities, dropping new story beats to bread-crumb the fantasy plot along. Rewarding puzzles and memorable bosses round out an enjoyable adventure that, even at a leisurely pace, can be explored in under 10 hours, but Mages of Mystralia really could have used some tweaking in its travel and combat, and ends up feeling merely good, rather than great.

Agreement—

Mages of Mystralia has charm and a lot of heart, but it falls a bit short of delivering a memorable adventure.

Mages of Mystralia is one of the few games that makes constructing magic as fun as actually casting it.
