Mago

Mago is a 2D platformer with pixel art, magical abilities and light RPG elements. A young wizard sets out to free Princess Banani from the clutches of the evil Gourmet. Along the way, platforming sections, puzzles and unusual enemies lead him through eight different worlds.

Released on 21 June 2022 for PC. The expanded Hyperdelicious Edition is announced for Q4 2026 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. No specific release date for the consoles has been revealed.

The original version is available on Windows PC. Five standalone console versions have been announced with the Hyperdelicious Edition: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. Each of these platforms will receive a native version.

Mago combines precise jumping with wand actions. You defeat enemies, influence parts of the environment with magic and search for hidden paths. Hand-crafted levels vary the pace between platforming challenges, small puzzles and minigames.

The Hyperdelicious Edition adds an extra world after the main story. The area, called Dream World, is set to offer four new boss battles, more collectables and three costumes. A mechanic there changes the environment between dream and nightmare, while the new easy difficulty level makes it easier to get started.

The PC version lists Windows 10, a dual-core processor at 3.2 GHz and 4 GB RAM as minimum requirements. In addition, there is 2 GB of graphics memory, DirectX 10 and 1 GB of free storage space.

Gourmet kidnaps Princess Banani, setting Mago's rescue journey in motion. Rather than a serious fantasy saga, the game tells a humorous story with exaggerated characters, short scenes and surprising encounters.

Eight differently designed worlds make up the adventure. Between colourful teapot landscapes, giant trees and ancient ruins, enemies, obstacles and tasks change. The environments feature different game mechanics and their own boss enemies.

The wand is Mago's most important tool. You use it to defeat enemies, cleanse enchanted elements and solve small environmental puzzles. Not every situation can be overcome by simply jumping.

In certain sections, Mago pilots a mecha robot. These passages rely on different mechanics than the usual wand and jumping sequences and break up the flow of play.

Musicalia is a quiet stopover between adventures. Here you meet other characters and can use the resources you've collected to buy new upgrades before tackling the next stage.

Hidden magic orbs are scattered throughout the levels. Players who venture off the direct route unlock further items and upgrades. Secrets and optional detours are therefore part of the ongoing gameplay.
