Mageling...

A dueling game, a strategy game, a tactical platformer... an arcade game?

its been given many names, i dont know myself.

i will instead let the stats speak for itself

the Mageling DEMO contains:

7 books of magic (3X7=21 magics)
fighting system including 7 different attack moves and blocking
3 levels
player VS player, player VS CPU, CPU VS CPU

gamepad support =

...

download and see for yourself, and if you are not convinced, have a look at the screens.

Yay, finally a game from theWreck thats not vitalized...

hehe,, yeah finally, i have lots of games in the works that are not vitalized, BUT as you prolly know, its easier to make a score based online game than making a working standalone game, especially to finish it. iam not going to say like many do, "im not gonna work on this anymore, unless i get some really good critisism and jolly good words from you!" instead i will say. give up! you have no chance to stop me! i will work on this game even if you give it zero in a review! so you must understand that its futile to resist, this game is beeing done and you cant do nothing about it! ha!

:D sounds good, oh me and my bro want more levels theres only 3!

14th May, 2003

i redesigned the two last levels also, i though they were crap =)... in the next version you will probably be able to choose what books spawn on the level, so that you can choose for yourself =) also did alot of work on the AI since i thought it was crap. think ill work on a new book now, thoose usuallt take about an hour to finish if i work quick.. later

Correction on simdroneX's review, there is a bullit time power, so no need to ask for that!

love to see that you still play the game! and yes the yellow and the cyan somehow complements each other, i dont know how exactly, but they feel good together. i have read thru your reviews and thought about your opinions. they are very good, and very true, but it seems sometimes that you havent tried playing VS a real person. perhaps i wasnt clear enough on that. i should have said as in simsdrones review that the game is based around player deathmatch as of now. but of course, this will change later aswell. despite that you critisism is very correct, and you can be sure i will take it very seriously. The next version will probably be alot different from this one. at its current state it is already alot different, but i have lots more to do. if you have any suggestions or thoughts about the future versions of the game, please feel free to post them right here or mail them to mailto:daniel.brynolf@chello.se

Cool, I always like it when creators are really open to constructive criticism. I would recomment adding a purpose to this game (eg storyline, one player adventure etc.). That would work wonders on this already original engine. :)

Posted by thewreck

20th May, 2003

yeah, iam working on some aspects of the 2 player deathmatch purposes right now. for example some different basic modes, such as capture the frog, and so on, altough i have planned some unique ones aswell.. other then that, i will try and make the objectives motivated aswell. but i wont tell you much about that for now. ive planned to give the magelings alot more charachter aswell in the form of text-bubbles, and speech during the action, or inbetween, and on other special occations.

i think ill just take the demo down now, since its changed so much from the state the game is in now. so no more download for anyone who happen sto stumble in here. =P anyway, next version should be coming within the next month mayby, will see. happy gaming till then.

You should of still put the demo in! Since the demo size is not much so many people will just play the demo instead of the full since the full version had a big file size.
