Mages of Mystralia confirmed for Switch
Back in July, a rating for Mages of Mystralia was spotted in South Korea. Borealys Games has finally followed up with confirmation that a release on the eShop is indeed happening.
For those who missed our original coverage, Mages of Mystralia is an action-adventure game in which you play as the young girl Zia who sets off on a journey to hone her magical powers. We have more details and a trailer below.
In the kingdom of Mystralia, it takes more brains than brawn to succeed. You will face down giant, powerful creatures and navigate treacherous terrain. You will encounter puzzles that confound even the wisest of the old sages. And you must overcome obstacles put in place by people who do not want you to succeed.
Your path will not be easy. In Mages of Mystralia, you play as Zia, a young girl who discovers that she has been born with an innate sense of magic. Unfortunately, magic has been banned, so she strikes off to train on her own to gain some control over her powers. On her journey, she meets other exiled mages and, discovers runes with magical properties and realizes that she can combine these runes in millions of different ways to come up with completely new spells.
The story was written by bestselling author Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms fantasy world for Dungeons and Dragons, which served as the basis for games like Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights, as well as about 170 fantasy books.
