MAGE

MAGE is a 2D projectile fighter for up to four players, playable locally or online. You aim a wand with the left stick and use the triggers to shoot toward it or boost away from it. Its three-button controls are easy to learn, while combat rewards precise flickshots, narrow dodges and timing.

Counterspell combat

When you are about to be hit, a well-timed button press lets you counterspell: siphon your opponent’s magic and use it to power a gargantuan attack. Opponents can siphon that attack back, so the exchange can go both ways.

21 playable Mages

The 21 Mages rework the basic move, shoot and counterspell inputs in different ways. Wind Mage can redirect projectiles, Nature Mage has a grappling hook, and Moon Mage creates zero gravity. Each offers a different approach to combat.

Modes and customization

Choose free-for-all, 1v1 or team modes, then customize matches with modifiers that change rules such as rounds to win or healing on kill. You can also toggle maps on and off, either randomly traversing them all or focusing on particular map gimmicks.

Maps and environments

MAGE has 200 maps across ten environments, with different map gimmicks to shape matches.
