OVERVIEW:
The Mage Slayer is a fast-paced third-person hack-and-slash action game about defeating powerful mages without using magic yourself.
In Elysianna, magic defines human worth. Those born without it are treated as less than human. You play as Krad — a man with no innate magic, cast to the bottom of society, yet trained through discipline, swordsmanship, and sheer will to stand against those born with overwhelming power.
Master stylish melee combat, exploit elemental weaknesses, switch between weapons, and uncover the truth behind a decaying world ruled by corruption, class prejudice, and false divinity.
KEY FEATURES
Fight powerful mages in intense melee encounters built around timing, movement, weapon mastery, and aggressive combo expression. Krad has no magic to rely on - only speed, precision, and the ability to turn enemy power against them.
MASTER FAST-PACED THIRD-PERSON COMBATSWITCH BETWEEN MULTIPLE WEAPONS
Use different weapons to adapt to different enemy types, defenses, and combat situations. Chain attacks, extend combos, and find the fighting style that lets you break through overwhelming magical force.

Use Katana to Cut Wooden Obstacles
Combat is not the only place where elements matter. Use elemental tools and weapon abilities to overcome obstacles, open paths, and interact with the world.
UNCOVER A WORLD ROTTING FROM WITHIN
Elysianna was once a world where magic existed to sustain balance. But over generations, divine blessing was stolen, hoarded, sold, and twisted into a tool of oppression.
The strong became gods.
The weak became disposable.
And those without magic were treated as nothing.
As Krad’s strength grows, so does his understanding of the world’s greatest secret - and the role he may play in its destruction.
Burn this rotten world to the ground, and decide what, if anything, deserves to rise from its ashes.
