Weird Johnny Studio, renowned for their work on Hero Tale, has just announced their latest project: Last Mage. This new bullet heaven game places you in the role of the last surviving mage in a grimdark world where magic is forbidden. Your mission is to navigate through hordes of monsters in a roguelite dungeon, using your magical prowess to survive and ultimately escape your grim fate.
Set in a universe where all magic users have been systematically hunted down, Last Mage casts you as the lone survivor, condemned to a dungeon. Your survival hinges on your magical abilities, requiring you to delve deeper into this darkest dungeon (yes, pun intended) to confront and vanquish the monstrous inhabitants. As you progress, you'll collect ancient artifacts to enhance your magical powers, all while meticulously managing your mana to avoid depletion at critical moments.
While the bullet heaven genre is known for its intense action, Last Mage introduces a unique twist with its inventory management system. The game features different backpacks that you can unlock, each affecting your carrying capacity and organization. This adds a layer of strategy as you must carefully select and manage your equipment to optimize your loadout within the limited space provided.
Last Mage is slated for release by the end of 2025, with a more precise date to be announced soon. If the combination of a grimdark setting, reminiscent of Vampire Survivors and Backpack Battles, piques your interest, keep an eye out for further updates.
