Overview
Magus Slayer plunges players into a dark fantasy world where emotions are a currency hoarded by magi and violently reclaimed by the Slayer. This action-packed title, developed by GUILT and published by Don't Open The Box!, blends intense combat with roguelike deckbuilding elements. As the Slayer, you are tasked with confronting these magi, breaking them to release the stolen emotions, and absorbing them into yourself. Each act of vengeance opens a new 'eye' on your flesh, a testament to your deeds and a source of growing guilt.
