Mirage: Arcane Warfare Review (The Single Rarity)
I am one of the chivalry veterans with 900+ hours, and I am in awe with Mirage. Though why do I start with the Chivalry, you might ask? Because this game is its spiritual successor, which surpasses the previous title in every way. Arguements:
No more ballerinas - you can no longer employ spin to win, sorry to all those NASA austranaut trainees.
Smooth Chivalry combat however with an addition of magic.
Amazing gore and body physics - bodies fly into the air with outmost beauty and realism (well as much realism as it is possible when you are being pulverised by a huge magic spike ball). You can burst heads, and split people wide open. When bodies hit the wall hard enough they can further fragment.
Good, colourful graphics - it is not Witcher 3, but that is not why we are here right?
Interesting maps - good variety.
Due to the diverse kit of abilities every match is chaotic and dynamic, however a well coordinated teams can still use tactics to accel, though not to the point where they can abuse solo players.
Conclusion:
The only con of this game is its very small playerbase, which peaks at evenings, however it is not something I see for the first time. It feels like the Devs have had an experience with one of the most hideous of Marketing Managers - you know one who has been a heavy drinker and abused their position a lot. I didn't even get notified of the game's release, despite me being a beta tester and there were no sign of the game on the store's page. However, if my memory doesn't deceive me the same story was with Chivalry itself, where Marketing was subdued to a mere word of mouth.
However, despite the issue with marketing, this game deserves exposure, and we need to get it going. I have left this review and later I will share the game on my Facebook page, something I never done for any of the games.
*Proposed Solution*
Please make free weekends for this game, so that more people can get their hands on the actual gameplay, the game will suck them in in no time.
P.S. Haven't had this much fun from the video game in years, well done guys.
