Mirage: Arcane Warfare

It is sad to say that this game will probably never reach the levels of popularity of both its predecessor and modern genre counterparts because the player count is at a currently super low despite the fact the it only recently launched. I encourage people interested in the game to pick it up, as Mirage: Arcane Warfare is really fun and would benefit from having many more players.

The steep learning curve paired with the limited tutorial, lack of any significant matchmaking options and the currently low player count make it hard to recommend Mirage: Arcane Warfare to anyone who isn't already a fan of their previous game Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. There's a lot of room to improve, though.

When the right factors align, it’s a lot of fun. The melee combat keeps me on my toes, trying to think as many steps ahead of my opponent as I can, all while staying poised to adapt to the changing battlefield conditions that fireballs and magitech land mines can bring. Each class offers unique and interesting tactical opportunities, even if they’re not all equally interesting. It’s a shame that I can only really recommend it so long as everyone takes my recommendation.
