7 Mages brings a touch more of traditional dungeon crawling to Linux

Controlling a party of adventurers, exploring dungeons and fighting weird magical creatures is an RPG tradition as old as the genre. Expect all that and more in this modern iteration of the classical dungeon crawler.


I have a soft spot for the old-school computer RPG – I wasted countless hours playing the Wizardry and The Bard’s Tale series when I was younger. Even if I don’t really have the time (or patience) to delve into long sessions of exploring endless dungeons anymore, it still makes me smile when I see that these types of games are being made. 7 Mages is now on Linux and joins the company of games such as Wizardry, The Legend of Grimrock and The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians on our platform of choice.

Key Features

• A fantasy game reworking of the legendary movies Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven
• 14 fantastic environments
• More than 30 types of enemy, most of them bringing new elements into combat
• Highly tactical turn-based combat with the option to split up your team
• 60 combat, elemental and musical spells
• Original puzzles on each new level

Now I don’t know exactly how a dungeon crawler can be a reworking of a classic samurai movie, but it must surely be a first in the genre.
