About

D'arc is sixteen years old. He has trained extensively in the Elemental arts for the past decade of his young life, under the discerning eyes of the Mage Masters of Iginor. Confined to an existence of academics and magical mastery in their tower, the inquisitive Initiate often wonders what it would be like to set foot outside in the world he has been secluded from.
D'arc's moment of reckoning arrives and he is summoned to the Hallowed Hall, where the four Mage Masters put him to the test. The young Initiate is tasked with completing three quests which will test his magical and mental strength to full capacity. He must return to the Mage's Tower bearing a symbol of proof that he has conquered each task:
A lock of hair from a powerful Enchantress.
The unspoiled shell of Griffon's egg.
The horn of the fabled and legendary Tricorn.
Join D'arc on a perilous journey across the medieval-styled land of Iginor. Brave the perilous Bloodbark forest where the Redcap goblins stalk. Trek across a barren desert wasteland rife with lawless Bandits and savage Burrowers. Navigate over a vast body of water where evil masquerades as beauty. And ascend beyond the lofty mountain peaks where the mysterious and hostile race of Flyterians dwell, suspicious of all outsiders. It is time for D'arc to prove himself.
Three quests. One chance.
Will D'arc succeed and take his place among his fellow Mages?

Mage's Initiation: Reign of the Elements reviews and comments

Translated by
Microsoft from Deutsch
Product received for free Mage's Initiation is a Point-and-Click adventure With Role-playing elements. So anyone who should have played the five-part Quest for Glory series, or all of the adventures inspired by it, knows something like that. In Contrast to his Role model, however, one cannot play a Warrior Or Thief here, since the Class of the Protagonist is already firm from the Very beginning. He has been studying for 10 Years at a magician academy, which exists in the Form of an enchanted Tower in which each Room occupies the same Place, but is somehow shifted in a dimensioned way. D 'arc, the Character's Name, is about to pass his first major Test in order to be recognized as a full-fledged Magician. And to do this, he has to opt for one of four Elements, which takes the Form of a Survey. If you are not satisfied with the End Result, you can also discard it and opt for any Element. Anything else would also be weak, because I could not say from fire alone on the basis of the Answers, which one has to choose in order to get a very specific Element. ---> The Rest of the Review can be found on my Blog [www.jack-reviews.com] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN0Vp_mEL5o

The Spiritual heirs of "Quest for Glory" Do not exist much, right? "Max's Initiation" We waited for almost ten years,-frankly, at times it was not even believe that the exit will take place. But--Here he is, arc, alive and unharmed. If, of course, we can help him survive in the local dense forests and successfully perform three Tasks™, whose completion is required to obtain a certificate of the True magician. Of The pros-a high-quality picture (especially in the portraits of characters), the four elements of magic to choose (thanks to which there is a considerable interest in re-passage), an abundance of items in the inventory and a very short story with a variety of locations. Of the minuses-at times it seems that the entire combat-role mode is in relation to the advenichnoy basis of such a bonus Doteskom, with which the authors themselves did not know what to do. Another year in 2013, testing the then Alpha version, I tried to persuade developers to convert the fights from real time to normal marching mode:) Alas, at this moment the pleasures of chaotic skirmishes with random rivals do not get something, and all this increase in skills and levels can safely ignore. In General, "Hero-U" from Koulov itself I liked a little more, but "Master's Initiation"-very even good and worthy of attention thing.
