Weird Johnny Studio, the creative minds behind Hero Tale, have announced their latest venture into the bullet heaven genre with Last Mage. This grimdark roguelite thrusts you into the role of the titular last mage, fighting for survival in a dungeon teeming with monstrous adversaries.
In a world where magic is forbidden and its practitioners are relentlessly hunted, you find yourself condemned to die in a dungeon. Your only hope lies in your magical prowess as you attempt to navigate and conquer the depths filled with deadly creatures.
As you delve deeper into this foreboding dungeon, your mission is to eliminate the beasts that haunt its corridors. To bolster your chances of survival, you'll collect ancient artifacts that enhance your magical abilities. Efficient mana management is crucial, as running out at a critical moment could spell your doom.
Backpacking
While the core mechanics align with the bullet heaven genre, Last Mage introduces a unique twist with inventory management. Different backpacks you can unlock affect your carrying capacity and organization. This feature requires strategic planning of your equipment and loadout to optimize the limited space available.
Last Mage is slated for release by the end of 2025, with a more precise date to be announced soon. If the blend of grimdark aesthetics and mechanics reminiscent of Vampire Survivors and Backpack Battles intrigues you, keep an eye out for further updates.
