Had high hopes for this, but its not been updated for months and the last thing we've heard was some empty words by the developer all the way back in September. Save your money and go buy a game that's actually being developed. Edit: The developer responded to my complaint saying they had their nose to the grindstone and were working on a huge update the whole time. They just dropped the update. After eight months …

Fantastic little gem of a game. It's loads of fun and has the feel of playing a mage down. It's also far more polished than I expected for an EA release. You have access to 3 mages. Fire is unlocked off the bat and you can unlock Frost and Arcane later down the road (I had enough gold left over from playing the test to get Arcane unlocked). Lightning is also there but marked for a later release. Each mage has a set …

Okay, this game is crazy good. It’s like Doom. The fast-paced combat keeps your heart racing, and the card system adds just the right amount of strategy. The stylized graphics are beautiful, and the fire mage is chef’s kiss. Can't wait to see what new spells and enemies they add in future updates!

Just plain good fun! Bite-sized fast-paced rouge-lite goodness with a slappin' soundtrack. I'll be coming back around anytime I want a little pick-me-up.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It doesn't take long to know and "feel" quality in a game and this game OOZES quality out of every beautiful pixel. This is not only a helluva little indie game offered generously by the indie developer(s) who developed it, but this is probably the BEST INDIE GAME VALUE I'VE FOUND IN YEARS! ..And trust me, that's saying a lot! This game is a STEAL right now at it's $6 USD asking price, and worth every bit of at least double that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKyLA9FQpLM But don't take…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all i love souls like, rogue like games and that game give you idea how indie developers are achiving something then the other big guys. (sadbuttrue) Animation +++++ Gameplay +++++ VFX +++++ Level design +++++ is amazing. You can feel action when they are coming right next to you. I have a small performance issues but it is okey Also for a starting maybe its gona be look repetetive but i believe that they gona make the game better than before
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is very immersive, I enjoyed it more as I discovered it. The graphic designs are very impressive, it is very fun to constantly suppress the opponent with the left click and deal high damage with other effective skills. You should be much more careful after summoning the boss! :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely amazing fun game, I had the opportunity to playtest it. Game is really fun and devs took the feedback really well to improve the game from testing ro release. %100 worth it :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't care how it plays, if it looks like it came out 10+ years ago but still makes my computer spin up like a jet engine it's an instant refund. Indie devs: optimize your games! I'm not cooking my hardware just because you needed to get your product out the door faster.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I AM THE MAGE GOD OF DESTRUCTION AN OMNIPOTENT TITAN OF ARCANE FURY APOCALYPSE MADE FLESH ONE-PERSON EXTINCTION EVENT it’s pretty solid so far. The gameplay feels good, the music slaps, and it’s shaping up to be something truly "magical".
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fireballs? Check. Smooth kills? Check. Addictive gameplay? Double check. This game has me feeling like a wizard on caffeine. I suck less with every run. I like a challenge (sort of). Devs, keep the spells coming – Light Mage when?! 10/10 would set everything on fire again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For the price this game is super fun. All of this is being stated after playing 7 runs Pros: - Great Level and Boss Design in each of the areas that you play - FPS Magic is so fun - being able to customize spells per wizard class with options is elite - Movement in this game is S tier - easily one of the best parts of the game - Leveling up in the run is engaging - Home base/upgrading/crafting are engaging mechanics Things that could be better: - This is my biggest gripe of the game - for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing game. Look like its still in early stages of development but its already so awesome game for such a good price that its a must have. I just hope they add achievements and make a proper interface for controllers before final release
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played around testing everything for about 15 minutes before I went into the first level. In the first level I was doing great, and enjoying it. At around the 15 minute mark in this shooter the boss began to spawn...and that's when the game totally froze. Maybe it's too early to consider trying to access this game. :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is good so far. my runs so far end up just running a train with enemies and shooting back at them. I see potential. They also are working on the game, which is great to see with early access, devs actually working. Support them if you can.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game ! It's your classical roguelite route but in fps, i enjoyed my time on it. I came across no major bugs but i had my first crash agteur almost 3 hours into the game. I recomand it for sure, it's a good game for the price tag and more content are on the way, can't wait to see what's next !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →run around holding down left click and shooting bullet sponges and hoping you don't get one shot truly ground breaking in the big 2025
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First initial thought... Is this Serious Sam with magic? With addition of Rogue-like elements... Interesting...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks fun as a concept but my game crashed in the middle of my first run, May want to wait a few patches before picking up.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good example for how rogue-elite games should be. Easy to understand the mechanics and 4 basic spells. You have to combo your spells with the chosen cards by you on each level up. The game itself is quick, having 10-15 minutes on each run. You have to defeat an amount of the horde to summon the boss. It would be better if the horde itself got killed after you managed to kill the boss, like it does when you summon the boss. Graphics and map design is decent (tho second map could be bigger,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →as a roguelite lover this game is so much fun. magic spell effects are really cool. game makes you want to play over and over again. I will be waiting for new maps
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're looking for something quick and fun, this game is a must-buy! Even though it's in early access, it has already built a solid foundation and is absolutely enjoyable. It's clear that the team has put in significant effort to ensure a great launch. This is a product that will undoubtedly stand out in the genre and carve out a unique place for itself. The game offers great freedom, letting you shape the experience to fit your style instead of forcing you into a mold like similar…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Devs need to make their mind and decide if this is a roguelike or roguelite. As you can see there are both tags and it makes no sense. This premise to say that to me it's a roguelike. You don't get stronger by playing more matches. Yeah there are upgrades but they're some how so unimpactful that you never actually FEEL stronger. So if you're looking for a roguelike this is probably good for you but not if you want a roguelite and look for some meta progression.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very neat idea and I could see myself enjoying this alot! But Optimization is unplayable atm. constant slowdowns. I have a pretty average rig and even on lowest setting the chugging became unplayable. Newest update with Pirate map did not help. Also, controller support needs alot of work, Camera constantly feels way too sluggish. I can tell its the Aim Assist and its WAY too strong to the point where i can barely turn around if there are enemies in front of me. If these technical issues get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredibly fun and worth the price, I can't wait to watch this game grow! uhhhhh could use some better optimization though
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You can pet the moustache cat so the games already a 10/10 Lots of fun for not lots of money, which is honestly hard to come by these days. Blow up bad guys so you can make bigger explosions to blow up more bad guys more faster I can hardly Contain my excitement when I play, ba dum tss
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think it is a solid game for it's cheap price. It kind of feels like a blend of Doom 2016 with some fantasy roguelite elements. I think it still needs some work with the level design (I found a few clipping issues with the levels). I think the art style they have here is pretty good, definitely room for improvement though. Also if they could give the game more spells and cards that would be much appreciated. (More content in general would be nice). 8.5/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great find, especially for quick runs as an FPS. It's pretty clearly in early access with some minor bugs, but there's plenty of progression and fun to be had. Just be aware the steam deck menu navigation is still a bit clunky. Just tap on the option you want a bunch of times and it'll go through.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finished the first level, and I’m really liking it so far. Gameplay feels solid, kind of like Vampire Survivors but in first-person. The first map looked great too. There are some crashes but overall it’s been a lot of fun...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fast paced shooter with a lot of fun. I've never played a game in this mage theme, it feels unique. There are different archetypes (fire, ice, arcane etc.) and they feel different. Game has high replayability. Bugs are minimal despite its being early access, and developers are very active on discord, fixing things asap. Balancing could be better but it's normal for a EA. Hand animations and graphics are also well made. It's a steal for this price. These devs deserve to be supported. Keep it up!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Revenge of Mage" offers an enjoyable experience with engaging gameplay and an interesting storyline. The spell system is well-designed, allowing for a variety of playstyles and strategies. Pros: ✨ Diverse Spells: Plenty of options to customize your abilities and tactics. 🎨 Nice Visuals: The world design and effects are visually appealing. 🎵 Good Soundtrack: The music adds to the immersive atmosphere. There are a few areas that could use improvement, but overall, it's a solid game for fans…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a ton of fun in EA but needs some more polish + XeSS and FSR support because performance is a bit bad rn. Keep up the good work!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is an absolute masterpiece! The gameplay mechanics are smooth It's clear that the developers poured their hearts into creating this experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves roguelike.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rogue-lite Mage Shooter with an excellent upgrade system. What more could you want ? Nobrainer - buy !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved it, the only thing I'm waiting for is the lighting class and the chain hook addition, I don't know if this is possible. Enter for 1 hour and relax, leave, if you get bored, enter again and kill mobs and leave. It's extremely relaxing. I couldn't find a negative point. It's extremely relaxing. I'm waiting for new cards. If there's a part where we can make our own mage, it would be great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, has a lot of potential. i hope there is attack speed buff passive.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Revenge of the Mage is a very cool conbination of roguelike and fps genres. If you like facepaced combat, cool visuals, fun to use spells and nice progression you are in for a treat. Card system is cool and well thought. I cant wait to see what they are cooking for after the early access release.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was skeptical at first, but this game is a hidden gem. The combination of FPS action and card mechanics is surprisingly fun and strategic. The roguelike elements keep me coming back for 'just one more run dude.' Animations are super fluid, and the gameplay feels polished even in early access. Some balancing could be done with the card upgrades, but I trust the devs will handle it. Great game overall!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For the price its great. Simple, fun, scaling. Not to hard to unlock upgrades and the 4 classes ( fire, frost, arcane, & lightning) are fun. I cant wait to see a necro class or a time wizard.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →stumbled upon this game on accident, because i have the devs other game on my wishlist. looks like they take their time with updates, but this game is actually really good especially for that low price. i tried the demo for one run and just bought it right away. you can definitely feel the "indie" in there and it's clearly early access, but it's really fun so far! i hope, they keep working on it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →uh, wow, okay, holy butts is this unexpectedly good i turned the demo on and bought it in 5 minutes after seeing how the controls work, it's super fluid, minus one of the movement spells you start out with but, meh, removable and still early access to work on it, i'm sure other spells might feel janky, as well, but being able to swap means you aren't required to keep being annoyed by one or two problematic spells the art style is great, but the animations are.... very...... lackluster, looks…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unplayable. 3070ti, 12th gen i7, and I'm getting as low as 20 fps on low settings on forest. Needs to be optimised before it's worth it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An addicting fast-paced Action FPS! I've played all maps on medium difficulty, and the boss in Tokyo was quite challenging until I figured out which mage and build to use. It's a good game for a very good price, worth a shot, at least. It would be amazing to see a multiplayer update in the future. 👀
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don’t usually play or enjoy this genre, but this game surprised me. The special abilities feel impactful, and the combat is genuinely fun. This game has a lot of potential. With some changes, it could become one of the best roguelite FPS games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Revenge of the Mage nails the gameplay experience that its genre promises you. Since it is still early in development, there's many stuff missing but the devs are constantly updating the game so the future looks bright for it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →yo, huge shoutout to @SinginGiant for gifting us a key for Revenge of the Mage, which we'll be playing soon on the channel. #indiegame #indiedev #IndieGameDev #twitchstreamer In the meantime, check out the game on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2287150/...
neutral · AI labelView post →Really good for the stage in development it is currently in. Does have some bugs and a lack of content (have completed all maps within first 2 hours). If they keep adding more stuff will be really good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid game, fun mechanics, excited for to play through more and for them to add new stuff. Definitely worth the price and a bit more I'd say.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had the ability to play test this game before early release. Getting a free copy of the game will no way affect my review. With that being said here is my review. First thing I noticed is that if you have a multi monitor setup you are going to have to put it in a small resolution windowed mode to put it to your monitor of choice, I have suggested this option to the devs and because I see them active with their community while it may take a while to happen I can see it happening. Also with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Game! Has potential.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun round based grind towards becoming a powerhouse of destruction. Really good art style and sound design.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid game, I've only scratched the surface and a huge update just dropped, definitely not abandonware like some other reviews have said. Dev just announced version 1.0 is coming next month if no delays occur. For the cost of a fancy cup of coffee, this game is also a bargain, 4 hours in and loving it so far. Only ran into a bug once in my first 4 hours. After 10-20 hours I'll update my review with some more details, but this is very promising so far. 20hr update: Game is still pretty solid…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Supposedly I played this game enough to be able to leave a review. I don’t remember this game at all.. only shards of memory of what it was when it first came out. It was rough if I’m remembering correctly. Do with this information however you please.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a gem of a game! HOWEVER, and take this realistically, it is incomplete and it is starting to seem like it could be abandoned. Either that, or a long hiatus. For what it has now, it's still fun and a nice brain-off experience with some challenge. The upgrades are addicting, albeit very limited right now. Still this simplicity isn't a bad thing. Plays and runs well, sound is relatively fine, looks good overall, and the roguelite element is placed nicely. You can cheese bosses like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had fun. 10/10 ill stupidly die on the first boss again when the game is fully released. Gameplay: https://youtu.be/w6jsIlV3LKw
