About
Last Mage is an innovative bullet heaven survivor-like that masterfully blends intense action with deep spatial puzzle mechanics. Descend into monster-filled dungeons where every run demands not just quick reflexes, but strategic spellcrafting and meticulous inventory organization. The game takes the familiar horde-survival formula and elevates it with a unique, shape-shifting backpack system.
Story
In a grim dark fantasy world, mages once shaped reality but are now hunted out of fear of their immense power. You play as the exiled Last Mage, chained and thrown into desecrated catacombs teeming with ancient horrors. To earn your freedom and uncover the source of this disaster, you must battle through the depths and scavenge the gear of fallen adventurers.
Gameplay
Engage in fast-paced, bite-sized survival sessions against relentless hordes of monsters spilling from the dark. You must manage finite mana while mixing up to 10 distinct spells and leveling up to claim powerful upgrades. Your survival heavily relies on the physical arrangement of items within your customizable backpack, where adjacent loot triggers lethal, run-saving combos.

Timeline
The Backpack Mechanic
Unlike traditional roguelites, your inventory in Last Mage is a puzzle in itself. You unlock structural blocks to change the shape of your bag. Placing a fire rune next to a specific wand might trigger a devastating chain reaction, making inventory tetris the key to surviving the dungeon's lower depths.
