If you're searching for a short game with some really exciting army building and fast - truely fast - auto-battles in a fantasy theme: "Mage & Monsters" hits it at a fair price! I highly enjoyed delving into the world, and am glad to bought it in bundle with instalment II. Can't wait to experience!

"A Fun game with a Rough Presentation." At its heart, Mage and Monsters is all about strategic army-building and watching chaotic battles unfold. Players recruit and position units while their army automatically fights off waves of enemies. The game truly shines in its strategic flexibility, allowing for a variety of playstyles. The number of characters on screen at any given time is impressive, making fights feel dynamic and intense. Every run presents new choices, and adapting your army composition is key to overcoming challenges. Whether you prefer an aggressive brute-force approach, a defensive turtle strategy, or a ranged build, there’s plenty of room to experiment. Personally, I loved focusing on a range/defense build, which gave a great sense of control over the battlefield. What makes the game stand out is how adaptable each run is to different playstyles. Whether you prefer ranged attacks, defensive setups, or aggressive strategies, the game allows you to tailor your army accordingly. Personally, I loved focusing on a range/defense build, and it felt incredibly rewarding to see my army thrive. There’s no sugarcoating it—the presentation is not great. The UI is very basic, and the visuals lack a strong art direction, which can make the game feel a little uninspiring at times. However, the music is surprisingly good and helps enhance the atmosphere. Despite its lackluster presentation, Mage and Monsters is a solid autobattler that offers engaging and flexible gameplay. It might not be a game you sink dozens of hours into, but for a few solid sessions, it delivers plenty of strategic fun. If you can overlook the basic visuals, you’ll find a well-designed game that’s definitely worth a try!

This game saved my college paper. I played a round, I wrote something, I played a round, I wrote something. The sessions kept my dopamine level from crashing and are therefore forever a pillar of my education.
