Magus (pronounced May-jus) is a third-person action/adventure title from Black Tower and Aksys Games. It stars the titular protagonist; a young man imprisoned since infancy and tortured for reasons unknown. One day mysterious woman named Kinna, reveals his true birthright, to be that of a God and assists in his escape. Now with this assassin by his side, Magus sets out to gets his revenge of the King who had him locked away. It is an interesting plot, that never really delivers. It isn’t bad but there is nothing about this narrative that left an impression. It does feature some interesting and funny dialogue, mostly the protagonist’s. For some reason Magus speaks as though as he lives in modern time, even though this game takes place in a fantasy world set in the past. Sentences such as “Damn, son how many unicorns did you have to eat to get that big?”, while funny, is out of place.
