'Magus' (PS3) Gets Dated, Coming Soon - Screens

by Rainier on Feb. 6, 2014 @ 4:50 p.m. PST

Magus (pronounced “may-jus”) is an Unreal Engine 3 powered action RPG. Immerse yourself in the world of Magus to discover who Magus is, and why he’s been imprisoned.

In a world of fire and water, an unfathomable power waits.

For years, Magus has been imprisoned and tortured with no end in sight. One day a mysterious woman named Kina appears and helps him break free. She convinces him to embark on a perilous journey to fulfill his destiny, using his unique powers to defeat all who stand in his path. But with two powerful kingdoms vying to control the land and their eyes set on Magus’s powers, how will he overcome the odds to become the god he was meant to be?

So begins their journey to discover Magus’s true abilities—chroma magic, his innate talent to absorb power from the colors green, red, and purple in the surrounding environment to unleash deadly attacks.  Along the way they must face the wrath of the Waterfall Kingdom and battle them to uncover Magus’s ultimate purpose. Why has this mysterious woman decided to help him? And why now, after all this time?


Key Features:

  • A God with the Power of Arcane: Players will control Magus as he uses his abilities to crush his enemies. Kina aids him in his quest, using her skills as a warrior to help overcome the many obstacles that stand in the way.
  • Powerful Spells: Magus can absorb three types of colored stones: blue, red, and green. Each of these colors gives Magus the ability to unleash a variety of powerful magic spells including raising the dead, devastating fireballs, and more.
  • Become Unstoppable: Each of Magus’s special abilities can increase in power as he defeats more enemies. Players can be the master of just one type of magic, or master of all three, depending on their play preference.
  • Challenging Gameplay: Players who are up to the challenge can increase the difficulty setting in real time. Players will need to use all of Magus’s abilities in order to defeat the vast array of enemies before him.

Magus will be available for $29.99.
