About this game
Description
Supplied by the Steam store
The Magus Circle is a vampire-survivors, rogue-lite game where you draw to cast spells!
When fate comes knocking, will you open the door?
Once you’ve already ruined just about everything, is there really much harm in trying again? Magic itself is under siege and you have found yourself caught in the midst of a cosmic war you did not sign up for. With nothing but your wits and your best scribing hand, you have been charged with protecting humanity's greatest ally: The Magus Circle.
Key Features
Hand Drawn Spellcasting: Actively draw your arcane sigils to cast your spells. You don't need to be an artist. Even the most crudely drawn sigils still hold magic within.
Diverse Build Paths: Draw magic sigils, casting 20 unique spells augmented by 600 possible upgrades.
Maps & Content: Battle hordes of foes across 4 unique planets to face off against colossal bosses. Play as the 6 mages of the circle, each with their own skill trees, abilities and emotional baggage.
Progression: Unlock familiars, wager your winnings, concoct potions, grow a garden and more!
Story: Explore the manor, get to know your fellow mages and uncover the secrets of The Circle.
Controls: The Magus Circle supports drawing tablets, touch screens, and controllers. If your drawing tablet uses Microsoft Ink, disable the setting for your drawings to work. We recommend using a mouse, drawing tablet or touch screen for the best play experience. The Magus Circle features accessibility settings to slow or freeze time when drawing or a button press mode. We recommend using one of these features for controller play.
