Weird Johnny Studio, known for their work on Hero Tale, has recently announced their latest project, Last Mage, a grimdark bullet heaven game. In Last Mage, you step into the role of the titular last mage, fighting for survival in a roguelite adventure where magic is your only lifeline against hordes of monsters.
Set in a world where magic is banned and mages are hunted to near extinction, you find yourself condemned to a dungeon. Your mission is to blast through the enemies and survive, relying solely on your magical abilities.
As you delve deeper into this dark dungeon, your goal is to eliminate the monstrous inhabitants. To enhance your chances, you'll collect ancient artifacts that upgrade your magical powers. Managing your mana effectively is crucial, as running out at a critical moment could spell your doom.
BackpackingWhile navigating this bullet heaven, Last Mage introduces a unique twist with its inventory management system. The game features various backpacks that you can unlock, each affecting your carrying capacity and organization. This means you'll need to strategically select and arrange your equipment to optimize your limited space, adding an extra layer of challenge and strategy to the gameplay.
Last Mage is slated for release by the end of 2025, with a more precise date to be announced soon. If the blend of Vampire Survivors' bullet heaven mechanics and Backpack Battles' inventory management intrigues you, keep an eye out for further updates.
