ManaTech

ManaTech is a multiplayer twin-stick shooter set in Averia, where the Mages’ Guilds and the commoners are at war. Choose a magic user or a technology user, master their abilities and fight opponents in hazardous arenas. Matches support 1 to 4 players, with free-for-all and 2v2 team formats.

The war in Averia

The Mages’ Guilds have long controlled Averia because commoners rely on their magic to perform most tasks. Recently, the commoners developed a powerful energy source of their own and began shifting to this new technology. The Guilds tried to outlaw it to preserve their influence, but negotiations failed, and they launched a violent coup to take over the major city of Mythcross.

The governor of Mythcross was killed in the struggle, sparking a revolt among commoners across Averia to dismantle the Mages’ Guilds. The world is now caught in a civil war between the Guilds and the Common Populace.

Characters and combat

Each character has distinctive traits and unique abilities. You can play as a nimble bounty hunter who uses dual pistols to attack from range with accuracy, or as a blazing spirit of fire who fights at close range with fire balls and explosions. The roster includes magic users representing the failing Mages’ Guilds and technology users fighting to establish independence for the commoners.

Arenas and modes

Matches take place across numerous arenas, each with different visuals and hazards to navigate. Battle on floating rings in the sky or in lava caverns. The game offers different configurations for free-for-all fights and 2v2 team matches.

Multiplayer

Play locally with friends, fight computer-controlled opponents, or include computer-controlled opponents in matches with friends. The game supports 1 to 4 players.
