"Mageanoid" is an extremely lazy 2D top down twin stick wave survival shooter with locked controls and resolution and absolutely zero redeeming features. What do you do in the game? All you do is move around and shoot waves of samey enemies... everything here seems to be a lazy ripoff including the main character, a ripoff of the wizard from Final Fantasy. This is why Valve needs quality control for Steam Direct. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at on…

Kinda fun for just being a small little shooter game. The art was nice, and helped spark some ideas for me. I hope you update this game soon, maybe adding death animations or something. The music is very nice, but I wish there was more that played every now and then. Anyways, 7/10 game. I would recommend if you enjoy mindlessly shooting skeletons lol.

Simple game without much content. Reminds me a bit of arcade games. It's fun, but nothing you can play for hours on end.
