More On: Magus
Aksys Games have announced earlier today their first co-developed game title Magus (pronounced “may-jus”). It is an action RPG which they have made with the folks of Black Tower using Unreal Engine 3. Magus thrusts you in its world as you set out to discover just who Magus is and discover why he has been imprisoned.

Magus supposedly has a mysterious past. He’s been imprisoned in a tower and tortured for reasons unknown until a strange new prisoner arrives and helps Magus escape. They’re journey takes them through the Waterfall Kingdom and battling its forces while Magus discovers uncovers his true purpose and masters his true power; chroma magic, a magical ability that allows him to absorb power and fire it back for deadly attacks.

According to Aksys, Magus’s powers will allow him to create magical feats from creating powerful tornadoes to shapeshifting to casting fireballs to manipulating gravity.

More on Magus will be revealed tomorrow at E3, including a first-look trailer.
