Ultimagus

For 99 cents, I did not have high hopes about this game. The death metal, hardcore-esque font used for the game's logo didn't help much to raise those hopes. From the first 3 levels played, I was dead wrong. At only about a half hour in, I had already had a lot of fun. The controls are basic, but the world, spells, and monsters are very cool. I would definitely recommend picking this game up and killing a couple hours with it. Check out some gameplay here! https://youtu.be/X_bOW7tXuZU

Ultimagus is yet another of literally hundreds of lazy amateur 2D retro top-down shooters infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. There's a couple of welcome differentiators here, however. The game includes some tower/soldier defense elements, and some ability customisation and progression elements. This concept is all fine and dandy but it's just wasted when coupled with such a garbage implementation. The game provides almost nothing useful in terms of tutorial, and the controls are locked, in fact there's no menu system at all for the game so you can't tweak or fix anything. You can't even look at the control mapping to try work out what does what, and I couldn't see a manual either. Of course, the game doesn't meet standard UI conventions either, making this as much a test of ESP as it is a game... you have to try read whatever the developer had in mind when they made this, because good luck any other way. You can work out how to play t...

On the whole, I liked it. Quite funny and addictive. However the number of spells and variety of monsters could be more. Having invenory would not hurt the gameplay as well.

Ultimagus is really amazing game! one of the best magic combat games I have ever played. The feeling when you shoot your first lighning bolt is sooo good! feeling of growing stronger and stronger Magus is so real! and every level and enemy creature needs its own tactic to win! You really need to think what spells and rings you take to the next level you are going to try and complete! and the music is so good! graphics are also nice pixel art. Im playing at the moment my second play trow. the game is not super long long but not shortest one either. But its super challenging. all the bosses are also unique and cool and fun to fight. Totally worth the price!

This game is....meh. This game has some potential but I don't really think I can like it much without a large redesign. I don't really like the core gameplay, it feels too sluggish, the field is too big, the characters are too small and it just plays weird. There's two styles of pixel art that clash with one another and many of the art assets seem to lack polish. General menu interactions also need refinement, there's a lack of options and I started a level more than once without selecting spells. In all, the game feels unfinished and put together by multiple people without a unified sense of direction.
