In the veins of 2000s children's games, Mages of Mystralia is an adorable title, whose emerging gameplay invites adventure. Properly balanced, the title has quite a few level-design missteps, but is still enjoyable. The puzzles remain more interesting than the battles, whose almost non-existent evolution can be off-putting. It's a nice world to navigate, with the game mechanics as a valid pretext, but it doesn't really encourage a thorough exploration.
