The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story gameplay
Globally, the gameplay of The Mageseeker can be divided into two parts: dialogues with surrounding characters and combat system. Dialogs are not too much to focus on, they dilute the overall narrative dynamics and gameplay rhythm quite well.
The combat system is built around stealing spells from enemies. Sylas himself has no magic and wields only chains, which allow him to use the skills of his enemies. This allows him to combine different stolen abilities and use them on his most vulnerable opponents. Temporarily stolen spells can be made permanent by paying the magic resistance leader at the shelter. There you can also improve various parameters of the hero. As the story progresses, Sylas will be joined by companions who will enhance the effectiveness of various elements. A total of two companions are available. The combat system in the game is quite smart and dynamic, so you won't get bored during the gameplay.
