Game information
Our Verdict:
Mage’s Initiation is like a modern-day Sierra On-Line gem, an extraordinarily polished adventure game. If the battle sections were improved and the RPG elements better integrated, this would be a near-perfect experience, but it’s still a game that should cast a spell on any genre fan.
The Good:
- Incredibly beautiful pixel art
- well-written dialogue and observations throughout
- succeeds in telling a classic fantasy story and creating a genuinely interesting new world
- voice acting is generally excellent, especially considering the diversity of characters.
The Bad:
- Battle mechanics are clumsy and simplistic
- RPG elements are de-emphasized too much
- protagonist’s voice is a bit too sincere at times.
