Battle Mages (itch)

Battle Mages is an action game where you take control of a spellcasting mage. This mage's destiny relies on his skills to survive in an arena where mercy does not exist. Where the audience cheers only for the victors, and brave souls fight for their lives in pursuit of their freedom.

The game is very fast-paced, and dying from a single misstep is not uncommon. The controls are remnicient of older top-down action games, and you'll use your mouse to accurately place attacks and dash away from the reach of enemies.
You will be able to unlock and use a varied selection of powerful spells, as well as customize their stats with runes bought for gold.

Do you have what it takes to devastate the waves of atrocious monsters to gain your freedom?
