Epic Games Store is currently giving away two free games: Garden Story and World War Z: Aftermath. With this update to the free game selection, the storefront has also revealed next week's giveaway, which happens to be a well-rated action-adventure title, Mages of Mystralia.
This soon-to-be free game on Epic Games Store generally goes for $19.99 when there's no sale or discount in place. It has a "Very Positive" rating on Steam with nearly a thousand player reviews. As for the title itself, it's set in a magical kingdom called Mystralia.
The story of this action-adventure title is written by Ed Greenwood, the creator behind the Forgotten Realms universe for Dungeons & Dragons. Its story has a blend of whimsical charm and darker undertones. Players get to explore a world that's filled with puzzles, secrets, and many enemies.
One of the standout features of this soon-to-be free game is the robust and very innovative spell-crafting system. Players have the ability to design custom spells and modify each of their elemental effects in different ways. The game's combat demands strategic use of these spells, and there are a handful of boss fights. However, some players have criticized the game's limited enemy types, which can make the combat feel a bit repetitive.
As for the visuals, Mages of Mystralia has a colorful and cartoonish art style, which occasionally turns dark as players progress through the story. The game's audio is another highlight, described to be able to add an emotional depth to the story. You can learn more from the video attached below.
