AlterMage gets November 2026 release on Steam
Action-platformer AlterMage will be unveiled in less than two months.
Revealed today, the game will be released on November 17 on PC (via Steam). An official gameplay trailer can be seen below.
A synopsis for AlterMage reads:
In ages past, an exiled sorcerer built a great citadel upon a remote island. Concealed within this fortress, the sorcerer crafted spells abhorrent to life itself. Six scions of light arose against darkness and defeated the heretic.
Now they lie long forgotten, and an ominous energy rises from the citadel once again.
Embark on a harrowing journey to explore the sprawling labyrinthian passages of the island. Set within a Magepunk world blending sorcery with technology; face arcane mechanized forces that scour trap-laden corridors. Every step may be your last as you traverse complex, dangerous environments that will challenge your spatial reasoning as often as your wits and reflexes.
Features
Explore a massive, interconnected world that offers branching paths, multiple parallel routes of progression, and a deep web of secrets. Decide your own course and discover artifacts that change how you traverse the environment and enable access to new locations.
Alternate between melee and magic seamlessly using an arsenal of blades and spells. Dodge, block, cast, and slash your way through foes as you expand your capabilities and craft your own strategies for overcoming the wide array of challenging enemies.
Experiment and redesign your spells using a unique spell alteration system. Fuse together different spell effects to create over one million possible combinations.
Every step, every spell, and every jump grants experience in a corresponding skill. Enhance your physical capabilities the more you use the, and specialize in different types of elemental spells.
Tailor your gear to fit your playstyle. Modify your spell-casting Catalyst using parts from around the island, find your perfect blade, and collect resources to purchase enhancements that compliment your abilities and enable unique builds.
