Mage's Initiation: Reign Of The Elements Review
Mage’s Initiation: Reign of the Elements is a point & click adventure game developed and published by Himalaya Studios.The first thing I want to point out is that Mage’s Initiation: Reign of the Elements is not the first adventure game from Himalaya Studios. They released a diptych "Al Emmo" posted on Steam in 2014 and 2015.
To return to Mage’s Initiation: Reign of the Elements, the game is inspired by the great classics of the genre and the result is really there. You immerse yourself here in a fantasy medieval type world where magic is based on the elements: earth, air, water, fire.

Introduction to Mage’s Initiation: Reign of the Elements
D'arc is a 16 year old young man. He was entrusted at the age of 6 to the magic school of Iginor and since then, he studies and still studies elementary magic.
Today is a special day for Arc, it is summoned by the four elementary master magicians to guess what element it is intended for. You will therefore have several questions and you will have to choose among several answers the one that best suits you.
According to your answers, you will join either earth, water, air or fire. Your outfit will change depending on your item. You are also given three quests to validate the fact that you are now a magician.
But above all, the first thing is to join the trophy room where the magic ball will ask you an enigma. You will have to find a product related to your element and coat the magic ball with it, then. At that time, you receive your first spells and enough experience to progress to level 1.
The Master magician of your element will join you, explain certain things, train you on spells and their use and give you a bracelet where you can set gems which bring you bonuses in terms of your skills (besides, it even give you one).
You can now leave Iginor for the first time in 10 years to complete your quests.
Some points around the game
What I love is that you can still play and replay Mage’s Initiation: Reign of the Elements and choose a different element each time. This gives access to different spells and surely another way of playing. However, beware, the quests remain the same.
You will have to fight against enemies at many times ... hence the usefulness of spells. Remember before you leave Iginor to fill your empty flask with water from the fountain. Drinking this vial will allow you to recharge your mana in difficult times.
The authors announce that there are, through Mage’s Initiation: Reign of the Elements, more than 50 gems to magically improve your skills.
One last thing, I really appreciate the good integration of Steam elements in the game. The achievements are available and functional but also the maps (even if it is not indicated on the store page).
My conclusion
For all lovers of vintage role-playing games or adventure games, I can only recommend this independent game. The programming is neat, the story is excellent, the difficulty is sometimes tiresome but some like, the graphics ... blah, in short, a retro game that can be played with great pleasure.
