Beam of Magic – Roguelike RPG 9+

Great game

Love it but needs a party finder , a main town that works as a multiplayer lobby , plays great and really addictive tho but those are absolutely needed. The multiplayer aspect feels more so solo at the moment, it was pretty awesome the few times I got to play with other people, it also needs a chat system so we can communicate, several times the other player just ran to the last boss to get killed and I really needed to tell him/her we needed to level up first, that was pretty frustrating

Really fun, but lack of community forums and limited levels

The game is actually really fun. The interface is so clean, the game is pretty easy to pick up and has pretty good replay ability. Most games that feature magic elements are overly cluttered interfaces and this really hits a sweet spot of being really fun, but not having too much going on, on screen.

I’d give this game 6 stars and would buy the season pass for the foreseeable future if not for the following:

There is no community set up around this game. No forums, no wiki, nothing. I have a few questions about some of the mechanics and I can’t find anything online. Also can’t find people to play with. Their website doesn’t even mention this game. They just released a patch to fix the bugs, so apparently there is some dev working on this game.

There are only 5 levels. The game only shows you the current map you are on and previous maps which you will revisit. I paid for 2 game passes. On the second game pass, I beat the final level…to my surprise, that’s it. I have no reason to continue playing the game or purchasing another season pass.

Developer Response ,

Hello, we are continuing to work on the game. We are planning to add new content, such as new maps, perks, items, etc. Also int the next update we will add something sweet. I hope we will be able to return your goodwill in the future and we will get your 5 star.

Great game but definitely needs some updates/QoL changes

First off it’s a great game. For some reason i like it than other Dungeon Crawlers, BUT there’s some much needed changes.

1- The energy system needs a rework. I get the importance of having it in mobile games but to only have 20 energy and each run costs 5 E just seems excessive. The amount of energy you hold needs to be upped or the amount required should drop down to 2.

2- There really needs to be an in-game chat for joining a dungeon, emotes just don’t work quite to well. Most if not all your runs will be solo. There also needs to be an easier way to add people to your friends. You either have to remember their name till you’re done, or screenshot. It’s a hassle.

3- Seems also pretty greedy that for the Battle Pass which is about a month or so long you pay $5 for, but then for Challenges you have to spend another $5! And the challenges go away after 3 days. That right there doesn’t make sense, why have two separate passes?
